So first year this festival has run. About 450 people came. Steep learning curve for all. Will be discussing with organizers some health and safety concerns like a field aid station. Only 2 cases of heat stroke/dehydration and a badly bruised nose (lucky not broken) came to my attention... and yes I was also the only trained registered medical professional on sight! Not going into anymore than to say if you have qualified people on staff utilize them! Anyway...

 I broke even selling prints!! Then I just gave the rest away. Should have put my details on them in hind sight! Had a lovely lass named Lara help me out with one of the paintings as did Kyan who also produced an awesome piece on sight. 

 Down side: Some tool tried to steal Kyan's art!!! Not cool at a bush rave. Not nice at all. Some people ruin the whole vibe. Thieves and used car salesmen of a different kind...

 Overall a success. One professional art critic less than impressed but I was told to keep it simple. No "walk in gallery" so we made a sit in gallery and art space under a grove of trees, earthy man! Plus a bunch of rushed prints. Next time I intend to produce several large pieces. Basically freestanding sculptures that incorporate painted images on both sides and look like an open door each side a portal to some other realm. Set these up around the site. Like doorways to Andromeda...

Anime and Manga

 Now I do love these genre's of pop culture. I also feel they are pop art. However I am so tired of average or cruddy anime/manga flooding DA. Of late I have seen so much shit here on DA in these two genres. Nothing really original and usually just fan art or a direct appropriation of a work that adorns the cover of countless anime titles. Not even being re-imagined. Also characters that are "unique individual creations/characters" they all look generic. Drawing an anime/manga face is not hard, in fact the reason these features are so simple is so it makes producing the images so much easier vs accurate anatomical facial features. I love manga and anime and sometime I fav work that catches my eye but that is prob 1 in 20. 

 I'd love to see unique and interesting application of these genre's! I guess it's up to the artists who well do nothing else. Over specialize and breed in weakness. Mix it up anime/manga one day, life drawing another, sketch a landscape on the third and then have a treat on the fourth and come up with some crazy warped art that may or may not represent anything. Let your mind go free and just create without trying to conform to any one sub-genre. Just my opinion.

Yes time to chill and be a little less full on especially when interacting with others. Time to focus on my art, martial arts, skating and my day JOB!!
