Life update:
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Went to Canberra for the Canberra Zine Emporium!</li>
<li>Went to Sydney with Ashley for the Other Worlds Zine Fair! Had so much fun at this one... usually at the end of a zine fair I'm feeling too exhausted to hang out with all the other zine people afterwards, but I'm glad I did this time, met so many great people.</li>
<li>Working hard!!!</li>
<li>I don't think I've even mentioned it on this blog yet, but this year I purchased a risograph machine... I've been having so much fun making prints and zines on it. Taken a while to figure out how to run it/fix it (they are rather temperamental machines!) but now I've got the hang of it :)</li>
<li>Another thing not sure if I mentioned... I'm curently living in this great studio/unrenovated factory place and it's pretty much my dream home. We only have the space until August when it's going to be turned into 5 houses or something, but it's really fantastic to have a huge studio space for once, so much room to spread out and make art. We even got a table tennis table!</li>
<li>Some pictures of some of the things I've been making lately...</li>

As part of <a href="http://whitenightmelbourne.com.au/">"White Night" </a> in Melbourne this Saturday, I'll be working with Etsy Australia and CAE making pom poms that will eventually come together as a big pom pom artwork! The pom pom station will be set up on the corner of Degraves and Flinders Lane, I'll be there from 7pm-11pm, (and Kirsty Webster will be there from 11pm-3am). Come by, make some pom poms and say hi! :)Sarah McNeilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18308023030837099910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253208197491959425.post-53311203031606852422014-02-16T21:52:00.001-05:002014-02-16T21:55:06.461-05:00October/November/December/January<br />
After having such a great time in Melbourne for the Lamington Drive residency, I decided that instead of moving to a possibly dark and cold England place, it would be the right decision to move back here (at least for the summer!).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So far I've been living in a house with some friends, making a bunch of art, working on new plans, generally having a great time enjoying all the different art and food things here. Tim finished the long distance hikes he was on, and is also back here (with a new appreciation for the hot summer, he used to hate it but maybe hiking in the heat in the States and Spain left him nostalgic for it?). </div>

A book I made while I was doing the Lamington Drive residency in Melbourne. I got this stamper thing that you can put whatever letters you want in it to make words and so I used that to stamp all the words in the pages of the book (no photocopy!). Mostly it's about things that have happened while I have been camping.<br />

I had such a great time in Melbourne that I changed all my plans and decided to move back there. Time will tell if that was a good idea. Might still head over to Berlin for their summer though.<br />
<br />
Have been listening to lots of new music... I sort of stopped listening to/looking for music that I liked while I was in NZ, so it is a good feeling to be getting back into it. It's nice to make more decisions about stuff like that.<br />

Hi! So, I am working this month as one of four resident artist/illustrators at <a href="http://lamingtondrive.com/">Lamington Drive</a> in Melbourne. So far I have made/drawn a bunch of things (it's only been a week!), and I'm getting stuck into creating some new work to launch at our end-of-residency party. It's great having such a big studio to work from (and to be sharing the space with other interesting/excellent artists), can't wait until we really start filling up the space with our art.<br />

Ok, so I'm just at Sydney Airport now, hanging out for a while watching the planes and baggage trucks and things before heading into the city (I really love airports... usually I arrive in the mornings even when my flight is in late afternoon).<br />
<br />
I'm here for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/302334956562827/">MCA zine fair</a>, which is part of the Sydney Writers Festival, which also has some excellent events on (reminder to self, pick up some sort of pamphlet with events info). Also, I am here to go to seven Kraftwerk concerts. Because I can.<br />
<br />
My friend <a href="http://www.pannikin.com.au/">Holly Leonardson</a> came to visit in Hobart last weekend and we worked on a whole bunch of drawings for a new zine that I have just finished putting together in time for the zine fair this weekend. So, here it is:<br />

We also did a lot more other activities like making quilts and cooking and museum time, it was so great to finally meet Holly in person, as we have been penpals for a while without ever meeting since I was living in New Zealand.Sarah McNeilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18308023030837099910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253208197491959425.post-68569475882130366962013-05-05T02:51:00.000-04:002013-05-05T02:51:04.985-04:00Winter is Coming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Hello from Hobart!</div>
<div>
After an interesting month in Auckland making zines/art/food, a really great time working as "Deputy Warden" with Tim at Tongariro National Park (it is so so amazing there!), I flew back to Australia, Canberra to be specific, stayed with my brother and super nice other people, while we worked on zines for our table at the Canberra Zine Emporium. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I'm in Hobart, busy making more art and getting ready to go over to Shanghai next week, and Tokyo after that. So far I really like 2013, it feels great to be so busy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are interested, I'm going to do a shop update on the 5th, adding some more original drawings, mittens and a few other things before I head out of the country until May.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a photo of me conquering a small mountain while I was at Tongariro...<br />

While I have been staying at Alphabet City for the past month or so I've been working on a few ongoing projects (as well as making new friends, exploring the city, eating lots of nice food and having a good summer time, so busy!). Something that I finished while I was here was an edition of 200 booked titled "Sleep Without Shelter". Sort of based around my feelings of visiting volcanic places and parks in New Zealand, being ok with being alone in places, ideas about things that I think about when I am walking or swimming in cold water. Each book is a little different, numbered, hand bound with string, and contains hand colouring in pencil and crayon, and washi tape.<br />
<br />
If you would like a copy (only a limited number available, hopefully there will still be a few left for Canberra Zine Emporium later this month!), you can get one <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/124975414/sleep-without-shelter-book">HERE</a>.<br />

Workshop!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
After the workshop in Wellington went so well, I have organised to run one while I am up in Auckland staying at <a href="http://alphabetcity.org.nz/">Alphabet City</a> for the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The flyer is below, with the main info and specifics on where and when, but the basic idea is that w<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">e'll be discussing illustration, relevant/interesting artists and publications, and trying out techniques and materials that you may not have tried before (such as screen tone, different watercolour papers, pens, brushes etc). Participants will get started on making their own handmade art book/comic armed with some more knowledge of how to get started on one. Morning and afternoon tea provided! Last time the class was great but not quite long enough to fit everything in, so this time it will be running from 11:00am - 5:00pm, with plenty of time for all the discussion and drawing.</span></span><br />
