At the Penrith Regional Gallery Zine Fair! It was such an incredibly fun day! I almost completely piked on my table(thanks Leigh for manning our stall) in order to spend time with my internets friend Jade and her super adorable behbehs! I could not contain myself for joy! I also missed out on the marvelous Sue Pedley’s artist talk because I was busy playing with behbehs. Sue said she was disgusted and would never speak to me again. Then she said she was joking and just wanted me to write it on my blog. When I said I would, she took everything back. She was kind of the most amazing mentor, helping out Leigh and I when we were in bumping in panics!
Speaking of Leigh, he and I dressed like Vince and Howard from the Mighty Boosh(I am Vince, Leigh is Howard ) in our Zine Fair uniforms. It turned out that Gallery Manager, Anne Loxely also wore Khaki, so we got a snap all together, after Leigh stuck an imitation Leigh Rigozzi ghoul on her sleeve(crafted from felt by me!)!
It was such an amazing day, coinciding with the herald article, Leigh and I and Rah were sort of famous for the day, and the attendance of various friends made it so incredibly fun! Being located in the gorgeous heritage gardens of the gallery made it really chilled out and it was kind of the funnest-est zine fair I’ve ever been to!
Many thanks, of course, to the lovely Jade for snapping this photo which I really feel sums up how I feel about the whole exhibition experience. It was a LOT of hard work, but it was certainly rewarding, and I really appreciate everyone who has helped and also everyone who has visited!
If you haven’t, yet, I sent out another shipment of cards for the shrine of happiness!
