Aye it’s been a while since I’ve done anything on here.

Been a bit preoccupied with the other blogs and businesses and what not. I guess the more they become successful the more my personnal life takes a back seat… for the moment at least. To be honest this doesn’t bother me all that much as I really enjoy my work.

So what’s new huh?
Hard work is really starting to pay off, and it’s getting to that point where I’m going to have to make some tough decisions about what and what isn’t important in my life… and then cull. Some of it will be an easy call, some not so much. We’ll see how it goes, but hey, everything happens for a reason so I’m not worried. I know what needs to be done.

It’s a pretty exciting couple of months coming up. For one, I’ve got a couple of shows brewing. The first is Happenstance presents FRESH MEET. I did the flyer (which was a bit Sagmeister inspired), as well as co-ordinate and co-conceptualise it all. It should be a heap of fun.

Second one is the big event, which has been in the works for a few months now. The third stage of Extra Cheeese kicks off in August, and I’m really stoked to be involved with the people I’m working with. I just finished the flyer for this one too which involved the photo shoot I was talking about in the previous post.

The magazine has been going quite well too. Definitely needs to pick up a bit over the next weeks to get this print deadline pushed through, but I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to help with paperwork and organisation. We’ve just managed to get stocked at Ariel bookstore which I’m really happy about! I even popped in on Friday to drop them off personally to the buyer. It’s always good to put a face to the name (even though I was shit nervous for some reason and probably didn’t leave a very professional impression.)
There has also been a heap of interest from writers and people looking to intern for us so I’m looking to get those guys involved and help the branding grow. Can’t wait to the day when I can pay these people properly for their hard work and services. Start off ventures are financially tough!

Anyway, back to beer and poker. Till next time.
