THIS IS NOT ART?

This is Not Art has been on since Tuesday, and ends on Monday (a public holiday).

I've been focussed on my artwork earlier in this week, otherwise, well actually I just can't be bothered much this year. I had a look at Saturday's events, and the only two things that interest me are

• Illustration for graphic novels - a master-class with Shaun Tan (who did The Arrival, which I've read and absolutely loved)  at noon - 2pm, and
• Festival Club live comics jam at 6pm - 8pm, though it looks like the jam is only between the five artists listed

As usual, there's a bloody long gap between things of interest.

And as before, it's a matter of getting there, and getting back. This would be a good use for the scooter, in that the easiest thing to do is ride it to Glendale / Train Station (Cardiff?), secure it, and then take the bus/train in and back. Hmmm, debating, debating.

The Sunday program has

• Zine and Independent Press Fair at noon - 6pm,
• Post-paper publishing 3:30pm - 4:30pm , and
• Open Source software for community projects at 4pm - 5pm.

Not so sure about the last two. Normally I'll go to the zine fair, but the last two years haven't been really good experiences (back in 2005 I had stuff to sell, and no one bought much and I got a panic attack instead). Got to figure this out.

 

Didn't Go

I left things too late to get to the Graphic Novel panel in time, and thought better of running around to get to the comic jam (which started 35 minutes ago). Decided to go tomorrow (Sunday) instead.

Kevin's gone off for the festival show however, and I hope he has a good time.
