Brisbane Event: The Illustrators exhibition

This Friday night at KiLN Gallery is the opening of their latest exhibition called The Illustrators. The exhibition features work from some of Australia’s premier illustrators, including Nigel Buchanan (image above), Jim Tsinganos, Brett Lethbridge, Ron Monnier, Courtney Brims, Shaun Campbell, Lucia Masciullo and Natalie Perkins. (Psst. Did I mention I’m married to one of them? See if you can guess who!)

The event starts at 5pm and goes through to around 8pm, so it’s perfect to drop in on the way home from work. KiLN is located in Paddington (see map below) in one of the old Brisbane Tram substations, and it is a beautiful place with a lovely exhibition space. It isn’t huge and daunting like some galleries can be, but very inviting. The curators (is that the correct term? I’m not the artist in this family!) do a wonderful job to make you feel welcome.

Rather than take my word for it, why don’t you check out this post at definatalie.com (my wife’s blog) where you can get further (and much more informed) information on the exhibition and some examples of the work you will see on the night.

I hope to see some of you there. Come up and introduce yourself if you do come and you don’t know me personally already.

2009 Bridge to Brisbane – I’m in!

We interrupt your scheduled programming to bring a breaking news story.

This year I’ve decided to enter the 2009 Bridge to Brisbane. I’ll be walking 10km on August 31 30 (thanks, Natalie!) with a team of people to get some fresh air and exercise. I’m really looking forward to it.

I’ve decided that to make it something extra special, I’m going to try and raise some money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. My wife, Natalie, is a Type 1 diabetic and I see each and every day how this affects her. It’s the time it takes to monitor her sugar levels, the sugar lows and highs (both can be dangerous) and anything I can do to help raise funding to assist in the fight against this I will do. Almost anything. If you are serious and have enough cash, ask – you never know.

If you visit this fundraising page you not will be helping me, you’ll be helping my wife and others like her. So if any of my blog posts have ever spoken to you, or if you just want to help a good cause and feel warm and fuzzy for a moment, please give whatever you can.

I have decided to aim for Target 1000 – $1000.00 from you, me and others will help the foundation fund research into cures and treatments for this disease. I’ll be bringing you regular updates on my training progress between now and August 30, with regular reminders of the fundraising drive. I’ll also bring you how we are progressing towards Target 1000.

We now return to your regular programming.

Just had to share this blog post from my wife. Ghostpatrol is an amazing artist and I think we should all think a little more like him.
