Launch '12

Launch ‘12 opens this Friday night at Brunswick Arts. I was fortunate enough to be selected to exhibit in Launch ‘11 last year and this year I have returned to curate the show with Carmen Reid. 

Each year, LAUNCH brings together a group of recent graduates from higher education institutions around Melbourne. Always a highlight of the year’s exhibition calendar, LAUNCH is a survey of some of the year’s most dynamic, diverse and insightful new work. 

This is my first foray into curation.

Update: Melbourne art critic Mark Holsworth has posted a rather favourable review of the show, labelling it ‘fun to funky’. The review includes a few photographs of the exhibition. Check it out.

The Amazing Adventures of Sam Serif.

Here is something that Tim and I dreamt up on the tram. We’re equally responsible for Sam Serif - yes, we considered ‘Sherif Serif’ - but Tim deserves full credit for the quality drawings and the fantastic shade of dark aqua that fills the negative space.

Tim has been producing comics with inspiring regularity over at milky the milk face for a little while now. If you like this one you should go and have a look at the others. If you dislike this one you should send him some hate, but you’ll be starting a battle you can’t win.

Sam Serif and his serif moustache will return.
