I was interviewed a few months ago for the first issue of HAM (Hobart Arts Magazine). Recently got my hands on a copy, and didn’t realize my article would be a 5 page spread! Very well made magazine. You can find them at www.instagram.com/ham_magazine Thanks to Peter Burt for reaching out!

The SXSW Sydney posters VS The SXSW Sydney games stream content is a wonderful juxtaposition.

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

The Lutruwita Animation Fest, I should say.The animation part is rather important. It's mainly a showcase of new Tasmanian work plus one feature at the end & networking drinks. Should be a nice time. More here: lutaf.org
