We've been corresponding with Renee who recently opened the Shimmerbaby website – an online shop for all your mermaid needs. She sent us these pics yesterday so we thought you might want to have a peek at her tails for sale. Oh, and she runs mermaid-themed birthday parties and mermaid camps. She has three mermaid tails on order for the Australia Day celebrations an is working on a black mermaid tail – we definitely want to see that one!
Colleen Doran is constantly looking after the needs of comics creators and has given us two articles about how the Google Settlement might impact children's authors and illustrators and graphic novelists. Read them on her A Distant Soil blog: Google Behaving Badly: concerns for cartoonists and Children's Book Author Diana Kimpon clarifies Google Book deal on graphic novels. We owe Colleen and her contributors a big debt of gratitude for keeping us in the know. Thanks, C.
Jozef has just delivered the new 2010 Valentine design in our Celebration Black Mermaid™ series. The design is called "Dusky Rose". The musk-pink colour of the heart matches the new pink patent shoes I bought myself as a Christmas present. Hope you like our new interpretation of our lovely logo. She's available for a limited time at our Black Mermaid Boutique, so don't be shy in ordering a gorgeous cushion, t-shirts, prints, or all matter of pressies for your sweetie or yourself. We certainly will and we're the shopkeepers! What's more, we'll be wearing her after Valentine's Day to the various Supanovas we'll be attending all over Australia over the upcoming months. Oh, and I'll be wearing my pink shoes there too!
And now for something a little more dramatic!
Here's some new work from the upcoming Elf~Fin to whet your appetites in 2010!
If some of the theatre stills are anything to go by, the stage adaptation of Shaun Tan's award winning graphic novel The Arrival will be wondrous. New Zealand's Red Leap Theatre has brought the wordless story to life in a wordless theatrical piece – now showing at the Sydney Festival.
The story is about an immigrant who journeys to a new land and strange culture in search of a better life for his family. The production runs for one hour and fifteen minutes and incorporates puppetry, shadow play, dance and music. The season runs from 10 to 17 January 2010 at the CarriageWorks in Eveleigh, Sydney NSW Australia. For further information about the show and booking information, visit the CarriageWorks website.
Follow this link for a good belly laugh. Read this on Colleen Doran's must read comics blog and couldn't resist reposting it. It's hilarious but quite typical. I wonder if we all have the gonads to respond as this graphic artist did to a familiar predicament ... when clients don't pay for delivered commissioned work.
