2014 Future Cities Program
The Future Cities Program was developed to assist leaders of both regional and metropolitan cities in New South Wales in meeting the challenges of building liveable and sustainable communities. This year's focus is on the re-vitalisation of neighbourhoods and communities.
The program is made possible due to partnerships between the New South Wales government, the United States Studies Centre, the University of Sydney Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, local and international partners, and local government leaders.
The primary goal is to promote sustainable urban development by supporting elected leaders, together with local government and community leaders, with an evidence based approach to strategic urban planning; additionally, the Future Cities Program also aims to provide on-going knowledge sharing and capacity building between the Australian and American partners.
The 2014 program, which will once again be led by Professor Edward Blakely, will take six New South Wales city leaders through a three-day intensive strategic workshop in Sydney followed by a seven-day study tour of the east coast of the United States.
The program is limited to six cities within New South Wales, and will comprise metropolitan and regional locations. To optimise the outcomes of the program, at least three participants from each city or town are required to attend including:
- The Mayor or Deputy Mayor
- The Director or Chief of Planning
- A representative from the local business chamber or an involved business leader from the community.
The focus of the Future Cities Program is on capacity building and knowledge exchange between city leaders, with the support of Australian and international experts. The workshop activities during the three days will focus on the real issues that cities face, and discussion will be centered on strategic solution formulation.
The overarching aim is to inspire and inform city leaders of innovative approaches, and move New South Wales and Australian cities towards sustainably and strategically developing their local communities.
For more information or to register your interest in participating in the Future Cities Program 2014, please email Sandy Burgoyne or Harriet Whyte at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Too bad these qualies won't be streamed, might be some really nice matches in there.
Donna will have to be ready to bring the goods if she wants a decent result in Eastbourne. Points on offer are great (by qualifying and winning just one round she can get 80 - almost half of what she lost in Birmingham), but there is some very good competition present to challenge her.
Hopefully the courts won't be wet this time around

Big brands and dedicated mobile budgets are making inroads into the world's largest market.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to watch an impressive panel of experts discuss mobile marketing in China. These experts in mobile advertising represented one of the largest markets in the world. It was at 3G World Congress & Mobility Marketplace in Hong Kong, where the panel consisted of four mobile marketers from China: China Mobile, 21 Communications, Madhouse, and PUCA China.
Alex Chen, Deputy Vice President of Monternet, China Mobile's mobile Web (WAP) portal, discussed the success of mobile Web in the China market. It was estimated there are approximately 40-100 million page views on Monternet each day. Wow! Agreement on the number of page views was actually up for debate on the panel, but bottom line, there are a lot! Everyone seems to be using mobile Web.
Mr. Chen also shared that over 80 percent of the Chinese market uses China Mobile (China Mobile also being more advanced in terms of WAP deployment and services than their competitor China Unicom).
Joshua Maa from Madhouse estimated there are approximately 50,000 WAP sites in China (though the majority are single page sites). Stephane Vidaillet feels the biggest opportunity for growth in China is mobile Web (WAP) advertising. China Mobile is installing 2D reading software on all their new handsets, so we can expect to see 2D bar codes have significant uptake -- particularly in regards to mobile couponing.
The panel discussed which brands are the most aggressive on mobile advertising. All four participants agreed the big brands in China have been most responsive. It's most often been the international brands, over the local Chinese brands, that have participated in mobile marketing campaigns. These including BMW, Apple, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, and so on. In fact, some of the most active mobile marketers are actually the mobile phone manufacturers themselves. For these players, mobile fits the demographic profile for the products they're launching – but also plays to global campaigns which these brands are looking to deploy for their products in all markets. Mobile provides them with a unique ability to do this.
China Mobile discussed new opportunities in mobile advertising with Flash as well as mobile video and television. These are welcome innovations as it's somewhat difficult to enter text from a mobile device.
In terms of an overall update on the mobile marketing market in China, the representatives from the three vendors commented the majority of clients are in test mode today. However we're now beginning to see dollars allocated specifically for mobile campaigns and the budgets being allocated growing significantly. For each brand, measures of success vary based on overall goals and objectives.
The Chinese government has also become active in terms of creating rules around mobile utilization in order to ensure a spam free environment. The Mobile Marketing Association will launch an Asia Pacific chapter next month, and looks forward to creating the guidelines and best practices for the industry.
Thank you to all four of the panelists for sharing your perspectives: Alex Chen, China Mobile; Joshua Maa, Madhouse; Stephane Vidaillet, Puca China; and, David Turchetti, 21 Communications.
I wish you all a very happy and joyous holiday season! Please don't hesitate to contact me if there are specific topics that you would like to cover next year. Our mobile marketing industry is growing quickly and it is because of the passion and dedication from all of our industry participants.
Thanks for your contribution. See you next year!

2005 Jaguar X-TYPE Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 11 reviews
The entry-level X-Type sedan was introduced for the 2002 model year, and it quickly became Jaguar's best-selling car. The X-Type is a joint effort between Jaguar and Ford; built from an altered Ford platform and utilizing 20% Ford parts. This engineering union has been the target of much criticism, as many reviewers have jeered the X-Type for not living up to Jaguar's expected level of quality (materials-wise) and refinement. However, it can be had for less than $30,000. A new model-the Sportwagon-debuts this year, as perhaps the logical next step in a progression of Jaguar firsts. All-wheel drive, a relatively low sticker price, a five-speed manual transmission, and a station wagon were all once foreign concepts for Jaguar. Now, courtesy of the X-Type, all are realities.
Jaguar would dump the 2.5 liter engine in 2006, but it will be used once again to power the X-Type's base model. This engine produces 191 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, and can be mated to either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. The larger power plant is the 3.0 liter V-6, making 227 horsepower and 209 pound-feet of torque. Both transmissions are also available with this engine, which is also under the hood of the Sportwagon.
Regardless of the engine choice, drivers can expect mixed driving fuel economy around 22 to 25 mpg.
All models come standard with luxury and convenience items like leather upholstery, wood trim, full power accessories, keyless entry, automatic climate control, a power driver's seat, cruise control and heated mirrors. Available option packages include Vanden Plas (3.0 only), Sport, Weather and Premium (which includes a moon roof and a power passenger's seat). A navigation system is a stand-alone extra.
Buyers have been pleased with the X-Type's overall performance. The gas mileage is the best of any Jag, and despite the smaller V-6 engines, the mid-size sedan is surprisingly quick. Test drivers also liked the car's sporty feel and nimble handling capabilities. The availability of AWD is another favorite feature for many drivers. However, there is a consensus that many of the interior materials and components are not up to Jaguar standards, and the cost of option packages quickly eliminates the car's value.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Guy Gavriel Kay returns to fictionalized China
Fast-moving tale explores political, military power
Does loyalty to one's country necessarily mean obedience to its government? Toronto novelist Guy Gavriel Kay explores the sometimes uneasy relationship between political authority and military power in his satisfying new historical fantasy River of Stars.
An award-winning author and former Winnipegger, Kay has already created worlds reflecting the Italian Renaissance (Tigana), Viking-age England (Last Light of the Sun) and medieval France (A Song for Arbonne), among others.
In River of Stars, Kay returns to Kitai, his fictionalized China, in which his 2010 novel Under Heaven was set. This novel takes place centuries later. Kitai has lost 14 northern prefectures, now ruled by the ascending Xiaolu empire (whom the Kitan people still consider barbarians), that weigh heavily on the national psyche.
Unfortunately, while the sheltered Emperor Wenzong drains his country's resources to build a sumptuous garden, his army is unable to manage the most basic of campaigns.
Thanks to fears of a military rebellion, Kitan emperors have kept the country's massive military largely incompetent. This is driven home when, in attempting to lay siege to a western "barbarian" city, in the Kislik empire, the Kitan forces somehow forget to bring siege engines and are routed and destroyed.
In his author's note, Kay acknowledges that River of Stars is inspired by events from China's Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). But while he infuses his world with a powerful sense of history, you don't need to have studied China nor have read Under Heaven to enjoy it.
The sprawling story follows complex court intrigues, in which rival factions struggle viciously for political power. But Kay focuses mainly on two unlikely heroes.
Ren Daiyan was meant to pursue a career in the civil service, like all hoping to rise in social station, but dreams of becoming a great warrior and retaking the lost Kitan territories. His life takes a new course when he is trapped by outlaws in the forest and, after killing his attackers, becomes an outlaw himself.
Lin Shan is nearly as much a social oddity, since her father has taught her to read and write, and she applies her talents to poetry and literature, all of which is discouraged for women of class. She becomes a target for politically driven assassination, and, just as scandalously, she survives.
Kay's fast-moving, engrossing tale brings Daiyan and Shan together and then drives them apart.
By calling in a favour and jumping through a few hoops, Daiyan attains a military command. He quickly grasps there is a new threat to Kitai that the emperor and his court gravely underestimate.
And Shan, ostracized for her politically dangerous poetry -- which paradoxically endears her to the emperor -- finds herself ever more isolated at a decadent court that is in more danger than anyone else realizes.
Daiyan's military prowess saves Kitai from disaster, but his success and hunger for conquest clashes with the hard diplomatic decisions made by his emperor.
Daiyan's old ally, a trusted magistrate, privately sums up the dilemma to Daiyan's second-in-command: "Our friend has a decision to make. We are living through one of the oldest stories in Kitai .... If he refuses to withdraw he is in open rebellion as of today. All of you are. Our fear of our own soldiers made real."
Kay provides no easy answers for his characters, and provokes readers to form their own opinions.
Despite our democratic distaste for military rule, in this novel you just may root for the army commander to seize power.
David Jón Fuller is a Winnipeg writer and editor.

BMW Moves High-Performance Computing to Renewable-Powered Data Center
BMW expects to cut the cost of powering its high-performance computing as much as 82 percent by moving some of these applications to Verne Global's 100 percent, dual-sourced renewable-powered data center campus in Iceland.
According to the UK-based data center developer, the deal will see BMW move a number of its power-hungry applications, including crash simulations, aerodynamic calculations and computer aided design and engineering, to the Verne Global facility.
High-performance computing is traditionally associated with high power consumption and carbon emissions because of the need to both power and cool the high-density servers required to run these applications. By moving 10 of its high-performance computing clusters (consuming 6.31 GWh annually) from its German facilities to Iceland's zero-emission data center, BMW will reduce annual carbon emissions by 3,570 metric tons, Verne Global says.
BMW made the Carbon Disclosure Project's 2012 top five list of the world's best companies in terms of climate change disclosure and performance, Environmental Leader reported.
In other recent efforts to make data centers more energy efficient, Intel has partnered with South Korean telecom company KT Corporation to develop energy-efficient technology to reduce power consumption at data centers. The new system, if applied to every KT-owned center, would save 8.6 billion won ($7.6 million) annually. Implementing the new system in every data center in South Korea would save up to 44.8 billion won ($39.6 million).
Intel has also tested Green Revolution Cooling's oil-based coolant for server storage, and last month, the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory selected Hewlett Packard and Intel to provide what it says will be the world's most energy efficient data center.

Dynamics of some Western Australian ligneous formations with special reference to the invasion of exotic species

Invasion of natural vegetation in Australia by exotic species has become pronounced in the last 150 years of European settlement. Changes in the frequency and type of fire have been a major disturbance to the dynamics of natural vegetation, and this disturbance has allowed rapid spread of exotics, particularly in urban and semi-rural regions. Less obvious disturbances include changes in nutrient levels and hydrological regimes, which also allow exotic species to establish and spread, at the expense of native species. Permanent plots established in various vegetation types show a decline in diversity which is associated with an increase in invasion by exotic species. Possible management strategies, designed to maintain the natural vegetation, which can be postulated include control and change of fire regime, removal of exotic species before seed-set, and the active introduction of native plants adapted to disturbance.

Dear Mayor Richardson,
I would like to express my appreciation for the support your police department provided

Lobo co-creator Roger Slifer, who was seriously injured in a 2012 hit and run, died this morning while on the way from his nursing home to an emergency room. He was 60 years old.
Slifer began working for Marvel in the mid-1970s as a writer and assistant editor before moving in 1981 to DC Comics as its first sales manager for the direct market. He also wrote Omega Men, for which he created the alien mercenary Lobo with Keith Giffen.
He later moved into animation, working for Sunbow Entertainment as a producer, story editor and writer on such series as Jem and the Holograms, Transformers and G.I. Joe Extreme. Slifer was reportedly working on a new project at the time of the 2012 accident.

As well as providing the making of text, how involved are you in the development of the book? Do you have a say in things like design, layout and covers as well?
(James Roberts:)
The cover and contents page designs have been constant throughout, and were conceived entirely in-house at IDW. For every edition I'm asked to give Andy Wildman a detailed cover idea (let's face it, no one else involved in the production of the book would have asked for Nightstalker and an Autobot Overlord on the cover of Vol 2). You'll have noticed that with the covers we try to highlight the unique aspects of the UK stories, typically the characters that never featured in the US comics.
I'm responsible for selecting what should go in each volume, from the stories to the non-story scans: posters, letters pages, adverts etc. I re-read the 30 - 40 issues covered by each volume and flag up everything I think would be interesting to fans old and new, such as Transformation pages that trail or tease a big story, or announcements for new toys, or promotion about the original Movie and so on. Letters pages that disclose hitherto unknown 'in universe' facts are worth reprinting, too. I'll choose the front-papers - usually the inside cover of the annual, so that's easy - and the sequencing of the contents.
I'll submit the text - the foreword, the introductory essay, the story intros etc - and notate it to indicate which scans should go where.
At this point I must sing Lloyd Young's praises. The series wouldn't be a tenth as good as it is without him. Lloyd got in touch after Volume 1 and offered to use his complete collection of TFUK issues to provide high-quality scans of all the material that IDW didn't have. He spends hours and hours cleaning up and 'brightening' the strip pages, and digs up all sorts of rare free gifts and original art. I couldn't do any of this without him.
We're now past the halfway point of the series, how advanced is the work on the remaining three books and do you think we're likely to remain on a one volume a year schedule?
I'd love to be able to do more than one a year, but realistically... it's Volume 6 later this year, and Volume 7 in 2016. Maybe we'll get Volume 8 - the final one - out in 2016 too. I'd like that. As much as I love the project, I want to see it done! I can't relax until all eight volumes are on the shelf. I owe it to fans - and to myself.
As for how advanced work is on the remaining books, I know precisely which issues and annuals will be reprinted, and what special features we'll put in. I keep a list of non-story material we've not yet printed, and it's pretty long. I know exactly what's going in Volume 6. And I have my list of confirmed and prospective interviewees.
Be a huge tease and give us a hint of an exciting and new fact we'll be learning in volume 6.
There's interesting stuff in Volume 6 (did you know that a TF character appeared on the cover of another Marvel UK publication in the late 80s?), but it's in Volume 7 that there's a real revelation. Wait until you find out what was originally planned for after issue 212...
I understand you and James first came into contact about this series via the TMUK forum, had you known each other before this, and what has the process of working with him (and IDW generally) been like?
(Lloyd Young)
As fate would have it, it was only a short time after finding all of the free gifts from the UK series and joining the TMUK forum that I was introduced to the one and only James Roberts. It was prior to Volume 1 of Transformers Classics UK being released and I received an email with an introduction. At the time I probably had to re-read it, it's not often you're approached to contribute to something that's dear to you. After James explained what he was trying to achieve, there was no doubt that I wanted to be involved.
I couldn't do this interview without highlighting the sheer passion that James has put into these books. He really has gone to the ends of earth to interview key contributors in its rich history to dig up information that would have potentially been lost forever. Each time we work on a new volume and I'm hunting around for items to include, I sit back and think, how the bloody hell is James going to fill this issue out? But testament to his unrelenting passion for the series, he does. Quite often, we'll be nearing our cutoff dates to collate everything we need to hand off to the IDW guys, who then stitch the book together, and James will message me at the eleventh hour saying he's found space for one last thing. That 'one last thing' often turns into the 'tenth last thing' but that's what I love about this project, we're always pushing to get the best content we can in.
This is where the guys over at IDW obviously do a great job as well and as James said earlier, are always kind enough to push the page count up if there's more great content to include. As the books lay flat on my table you can visibly see the thickness change from the first few volumes. Without these guys, the books wouldn't happen either. Shout out to Justin Eisinger.
And finally, you've contributed to an officially licensed Transformers book about the comic you love and have had your name in the credits alongside the great and the good who worked on the original series. On a scale of one to ten, how much of a good feeling is that?
It's nothing short of amazing; I give it a 1984 out of 10 (the year that changed it all for me). What an absolute privilege to contribute to not only something you've loved since childhood, but to have your name in the same publication as the guys who shaped the original series and those who continue to work on the existing stories. I pinch myself from time to time.
During my years working in the games industry, I was also fortunate enough to work on a Transformers game. Although I was working as a 3d artist at the time, my good friend and fellow 3d artist/ photographer Jamie Andy Evans was given the role of advert photographer. Long story short, like a child attempting with their dear life to answer a questions in class, my arm went immediately up. I said to Jamie, "I have to get my face in this game; I don't care what it takes". It's safe to say, I'm now immortalized on a mobile phone billboard. Sadly, Jamie passed away mid way through 2014, far too young and I'll be forever thankful to him for taking those photos. RIP mate.
I'll sign off now by once again thanking James Roberts and IDW, not only for including me in this epic journey of theirs but just because these guys rock it hard for TF's! I'm certainly looking forward to meeting James and the gang in the flesh, we've only been working together for 4 years now after all.

TR: Did your writing process change when you began scripting the movie as opposed to the TV show?
Flint Dille: Well, it did from the point of view that we knew this was going to be a very big movie. Of course, the purpose of the movie was not only to have something in theaters, but also to introduce next year's product line. Which meant that we had to first kill off the old product line to make way for the new toys.
TR: So Optimus Prime had to die?
FD: Exactly. We just didn't realize that it was going to bother anybody! :laughs: But I'd argue that had we not killed him, we wouldn't be talking about Transformers right now. Still, we didn't know the can of worms that we were opening when we wrote those scenes.
Topless Robot: The film world recently lost Leonard Nimoy, who voiced Galvatron in the Transformers animated feature. Can you talk about what he was like to work with?
Wally Burr: Very professional. Business-like. He came in and was ready to work. I asked him if I could give him the profile of what the show was about, to help get him up to speed. And he said "Go ahead." So I did. And when I finished with the full explanation, he said, "Okay, get your director and let's do this." :laughs: He didn't realize that I was the director! He must have thought I was a production assistant or somebody hired by the studio to hold his hand until he was ready to be used.
TR: What about Orson Welles? He came with quite a reputation, I imagine.
WB: With Mister Welles, I was intimidated in advance. Because if you've ever heard any of the outtake reels on him, he could be pretty tough. And he had a right to be! He could look at any script and say, instantly, I know what you need here. The problem was, he didn't want to be directed. But somebody had to coordinate the session, and that's what a voice director does. We coordinator of the cast. Otherwise, they'd overlap each other. The voice director keeps the characters straight, and so on. So I thought I was going to have a lot of problems with Mister Welles. And I did. At one point he was rather slow in his delivery, so I gently said "Mister Welles, this is sounding great. I'm wondering if I can ask you to pick up the tempo just a little bit." And he said, in that voice of his, "I'm reading this as rapidly as I possibly can. And furthermore, I'll do the slating from now on." Well, the voice director usually slates from the recording booth.
Topless Robot: You both voiced a number of different characters throughout the Transformers film. Did you have any particular favorites to play?
Neil Ross: Yes, I think so. My favorite was called Springer. He could turn into a helicopter at will, and he was just a good, fun, solid hero-type to play. He also didn't involve any throat ripping.
TR: Throat ripping?
NR: :speaks in a painfully scratchy voice: "That's when some of the characters sound like this!"

Toro/Tecumseh - No Spark
I have yet another mower that needs repaired.
This one was bought NOT working. My brother bought it
in hopes of a cheap fix to make mowing the lawn easier.
It is a self propelled Toro Model# 20018 with a Tecumseh 6.5 Ft/Lb
I've found that is has NO spark. I've removed the kill wire from the Coil and
grounded a known GOOD spark plug. Still NO spark.
So that should mean the "Kill Wire/Switch" is NOT the problem, RIGHT?
(again I'm a shade tree fix'er up'er)
This leads me to believe that the COIL is my problem.
But at $47.50 for a new coil I'd like to be sure it is the problem.
Could it be anything else?
The gap between the Coil/Wheel gap is about as wide as a business card.
Which in my under standing is about right for most mowers.
I did not change the gap, As far as I know the gap has never been change since it left the factory.
Thanks for any help.

Return of the 52-Week Illustration Challenge, Week 12
"Science fiction media convention costume parade". All of these entrants are me - Tellarites, Andorians and Robin the Boy Wonder - based on photos from several decades of costume parades, drawn and painted in a Perth hotel room. Sketch inked in black Sharpie on watercolour paper, coloured in watercolours and metallic Signo.
"The Not-So-Happy Dragon." Based on an actual event - when I walked into a dressing room at a charity fundraiser, to put on my superhero costume, and met half a naked dragon! No one is supposed to see who's inside the St George Bank's Happy Dragon mascot. But I did - and now... so have you! Black and green Sharpie markers with watercolour on watercolour paper, collaged onto purple handmade paper.

Return of the 52-Week Illustration Challenge, Week 11
"It's not easy being green!" A green frog desperately attempts to be environmentally green. Cartoon in black Sharpie ink and watercolour on watercolour paper.
Here's a green gremlin. I caught him sneaking into my hotel room looking for lollies. Luckily for me, I'd eaten all the evidence. Assemblage art with a green supermarket "green bag" as background. Hey, I'm working with limited materials here, you know!
My paternal grandmother was born on St Patrick's Day. She always wore green on that day, and carried a small leprechaun charm on a green ribbon. This watercolour of a leprechaun, with black Sharpie details, is based on that charm's pose.

Opening Night: 52-Week Illustration Challenge Exhibition!
Opening Night for the "52-Week Illustration Challenge" exhibition at Arts Brookfield Gallery, Perth, Australia, was on Monday night, so the embargo is finally lifted. My shortlisted entry for "Week 11: Architecture" (for which I did an architectural caricature watercolour of the infamous Number 96 building) is on the wall! Number 96, of course, was the popular/naughty TV soap opera in Australia in the 70s, and a major part of this blog's origins.
"When children's author Tania McCartney challenged herself to produce an image per week for 52 weeks, to reconnect with her long-lost love of illustration (and hopefully illustrate her own books), she never imagined her tiny seed of an idea would become a mighty oak. Now in its second year, and with over 3000 members from around the globe, the weekly Facebook group has spawned connections and reconnections with decades of lost creativity. Friendships have been formed, collaborations forged, contracts signed, books produced, careers redirected, lives changed. And yes, Tania has realised her dream of illustrating her own books. Dare to dream. "The exhibition features one carefully selected piece from each of the 52 themes in 2014." [From the entry poster.]
A great introduction to the 52-Week Illustration Challenge Exhibition is this video clip by The West Australian newspaper:
Towards the conclusion of the 2014 Challenge, we were asked to submit our thoughts, perhaps to be compiled as testimonials:
What I immediately latched onto with the Challenge was an opportunity to, once again, accept a series of external hard and fast dates (this time 52 of them!). The deadlines to complete something were invaluable. This seems to be how I get the best out of myself. In my daily life, I will happily postpone and ignore self-imposed deadlines, and rarely get things done as getting through the days just swamps me and keeps me distracted. I do seem to be able to meet externally applied deadlines, though, and I happily achieved the individual 365 Photos Challenge a few years ago (which lasted a whole year), and I was then bemused/disappointed when a group of enthusiastic teacher colleagues starting dropping like flies during a month-long 30 Photos Challenge a few years later.
So Tania's initial list of 52 weekly art deadlines, the already-assigned topics, was just the Challenge I'd been waiting for. I remembered back to an adult evening college art collective I joined in 1980, and had continued with until moving house in late 1984. The weekly two-hour art-making sessions made me quite productive. In that focused time, amid the happy banter of people relaxing and being creative, I could often achieve a finished piece - so very satisfying! Upon reexamining it the next morning, there would sometimes be a few finishing touches (a schedule that has become a great yardstick for the 2014 Challenge, too, actually). But the enforced discipline to complete something was invaluable.
Week 25: Dots - Fairy Fatality Bread
Knowing the 52 topics ahead of time, and being exposed to the daily uploads from all the other group members, helps to get ideas percolating and ruminating in my head. Without the Challenge, these ideas might often flash through my head, but I don't usually act upon them. Or I simply never put aside the time and another once-great idea fades away. With the Challenge sitting in a corner of one's brain, a mere stroll through a $2 bargain store, a new art supply store, the local Bunnings, the dog park, a cloud formation, or a classroom at school (I'm a primary school teacher-librarian), ideas for possible ways to marry certain themes and art media can merge - and emerge - resulting in singularly clever and innovative artworks. Without a doubt, some of my favourite pieces I've shared in the Challenge have been physically created in just minutes - sometimes seconds! - but the thought processes may have evolved in my head over many days, or weeks, and sometimes months.
So the cello bags of feathers I bought months ago (just before "Feather" week) were also on hand for "Black + White" and "Bird" weeks. The papier mâché koala mask I bought on a whim went with me to the USA so I could be prepared to paint it up at my penpal's house in Michigan for "Sydney" week. I knew that the cupcake patty pan cases in my pantry were destined to make it into "Under the Sea" week the moment I saw some child craft creations in a Kindergarten classroom months earlier.
Week 11: Architecture - Number 96 Lindsay Street, Paddington
I have been deliberately eclectic when approaching the theme each week and have been inspired by the many ideas and techniques displayed (and sometimes explained) on the Facebook page and the blog that Tania set up. It has been rewarding to share my own little tricks I've picked up over the years, and then to see what people do with them! Squinting to see the negative shapes, the "rules" for painting authentic skies, clouds and horizons, paper weaving, "drawing on the right side of the brain", long-forgotten kids' art from people's own childhoods, such as crayon resist... So much fun to share!
Because of this Challenge, I tried watercolour for the first time (beyond those frustrating Boxing Day memories of childhood, trying to use a giant Christmas gift tin of watercolour paint cakes and totally messing up a colouring book, and then going back to one's reliable, predictable pencils and Textas). Due to my success with that first watercolour scene, I've now done many more. with a long row of recently framed watercolours in my lounge room.
I think I've found new respect for collage. Several artworks created by me for this Challenge have surprised me by evolving into 3D collages just before the deadline. A few times it has been to repair an accidental splodge. A few times the artwork begged for some signage, or a naturally-cast shadow. And sometimes the 2D artwork simply refused to remain two-dimensional.
I've tried to be quite spontaneous. Several of my artworks have been created without pencil guidelines! Sometimes I amaze myself with such bravery (and dumb luck) and, again, those are the pieces that often seem to receive the most praise, which encourages me to be brave (or lucky) more often.
Week 35: Paris - Abbesses, le Métro
I know it's been mentioned on the Challenge page often. So many of us have an obvious "style", but so many of us seem to be searching for one. I know I've now found a few ways to make my own works quirkily unique to me, but have I yet found my style? I think the quest may be ongoing.
I know it's important to embrace serendipity, and of that there has been no shortage in this Challenge. In "Boxes" week, I had to create a display in a box for my school library. I travelled in a plane approaching "Plane" week, and then there was that terrible air disaster that (at first) threatened to shadow our efforts with doom and gloom, but we were triumphant and respectful. I had to create both "Sydney" and "Snow" in Michigan, USA, where I usually see so much snow - but it was the middle of their summer. I loved how "Bird" week happened to fall in National Bird Week, catching Tania by surprise. Serendipity is alive and well and we embrace it!
Speaking of serendipity and wild coincidences:
Above: This is Bettina Dodson, my frame buddy. Her work for "Week 12: Numbers" and mine are right next to one another. Bettina was named after actress Bettina Welch, who (as Maggie Cameron) once blew up the Number 96 deli in my painting with a bomb!
To top off an amazing week, my image Fairy Fatality Bread, created for a different week of the 2014 Challenge, was requested for publication in a new romance fanzine, Trousseau, launched last weekend at the annual Australian Romance Readers' Convention!
And here's the whole thing! The virtual tour of the 52-week Illustration Challenge Exhibition Opening Night, as blogged by Tania McCartney and Nicky Johnston!
Tania and Nicky have also compiled a report on the exhibition, with more photos and the text of Tania's Opening Night speech: HERE!
Flickr slideshows of my work can be found here: 2014 artworks and 2015 artworks.
Captain's Log: Supplemental: The exhibition has now been extended to Friday 27th March!
