I wait for you each morning
Before the world remembers it’s noise
You return with the tiniest of glows
Regular, steady and slow
Then, you’re rising
The most gradual of shinings
I move to you
Into you, warm and true
Now you’re charging me
Unplugged and free
My sun, our sun
you me and our energy 🔆
Always an inspiring event, the Perth Comic Arts Fest is so much fun. Seeing the work people have been putting in over the years to produce comics, graphic novels, stickers and other merch.
The collective energy is really crazy when so many creatives are in the room buzzing with excitement. I luuuv seeing how people have put together their stories, hand made zines, home-printed stickers and so much more. Just a real buzz.
There must’ve been about 100 stall holders selling and displaying their work. Perth def. has some seriously talented artists that may not be doing a lot of self promotion.
I’m always surprised to hear people have put years of work into something and have not yet published it online or printed it.
Would’ve been good to see more of our Indigenous artists represented. I’m looking forward to seeing more work in 2027, maybe it’s time I take my own advice and print my work 😌
I created a brand called ded. I always wanted to make a brand that is just for fun, so I just got started. Check my first tee on teepublic 🔗
I’ve been using redbubble and teemill for on demand tee printing, ngl they’re both not amazing for two reasons.
teemill, I like their shop setup and the remilled material is great, very eco. But they fade. The prints just don’t last much more than a year.
redbubble, the shirts and prints are great. They last and are comfortable. But why oh why can we still not print a different image on the front and back?
So that brings me to teepublic. Easy shop setup, flexible design tools and the materials look good. I’m testing them out by ordering a few samples.
Anyway, ded 💛 is here 😂
What’s growing atm 💛✨ When I get the time and when the seasons change, Its fun taking the macro around the garden and checking the details of things.
Fruits, buds, flowers or whatever else is growing. They all evolve so quickly and change shape and form so each day there’s different things to see.
Rediscovering poetry feels like seeing snails for the first time as a kid.
What is this crazy looking thing unafraid of the giants bouncing around it. Sliding across rough surfaces, heading to some unseen destination at a pace dictated by a silver slime.
It’s weird, new and scary. I’m learning again at that mad pace only excitement can drive.
Like kintsugi, I’m using it to fix, fill cracks and repair things. It’s like a magic energiser and repair salve. I can apply it to pain, boredom, things that lack colour and it’s like magic – new again. My phone notes are filling up quickly.
And of course, I applied it to my site’s 404 page 😂
Discovering through finding the non existent, a noble cause.
Hope is your beacon, let the light guide you.
Be grounded in giving and gratitude – the gift store awaits.
