Drawing Jam @ The Perpetual Party Collective

September's Drawing Jam took place amongst the growing cardboard walls of the Perpetual Party Collective's bump-in at Arts Alive. Matt and Themis very kindly let us use one of the cardboard rooms in the labyrinth; it glowed with the light of the data projector.

Casting coloured shadows and insulated from the world we had our best night yet.

Photos from the July Drawing Jam

The first drawing jam was full of wonderfulness, oranges, subtle confusion and excitement.
The sense of adventure was running rife in the air and it was intriguing to be apart of something that moved and changed. It is so fun to draw with other people in the room!
This jam will be a regular event at Arts Alive in Launceston. In fact the second has already happened and the third will be soon.

These photos are only a subjective view of what happened through the lens of my particular camera. To see the rest of the photos I took, please click on this album:

Black Box

The Black Box event presented by the Manic Productions Crew was over a month ago now. Here are some of the photos that I took whilst they were setting up the Installation and Performance event at Arts Alive, and whilst it was happening.
Being a drawer the definite highlights were "buying squares on the blank canvas to create in" and Nic drawing and writing over almost the entire venue with white chalk.
