HELLO!

Well, it’s the last newsletter of this Australian financial year. Our business is a year older and wiser, and I am definitely a bit greyer. In fact I found my first grey hair on a place which was not my head just two days ago and I did not feel dignified, but just really old.

Anyway, I’m not sure what you learned in the last fiscal year, but here are a few things that come to mind for me.

1) Now is a great time to book December holiday plans. This is one of the best pieces of advice I ever got, and it always has paid off in my increasing sense of smugness over the Christmas period, and that’s not just because I’m celebrating eight nights of Hanukkah.

2) The 2018-19 financial year was all about mouthfeel for me. Tied for first place are breadcrumbs on pasta and tamari almonds with Pretzels. Pure alchemy of textures when you get the ratio right, but don’t overdo it!

3) You cannot beat red light cameras on turn signals. Just don’t try. Sit it out and wait the next round, it’s a rigged game.

4) The End of History Illusion is real.

5) Our team and our artists are really great people. I enjoy working for and with them, and hope to rock it for another four quarters. Go on, have a look and see for yourself.

The Podcast

This week on Jacky Winter Gives You The Business we're back with episode one of season seven! We'll be going through our open tabs and discussing some words of warning for freelancers and how to get an illustration agent!

“I personally think an artist, for multiple reasons, should have both a website and an Instagram, you might not, and I worry about someone taking anyone’s advice as gospel just because we work in the industry.”

// Lara Chan-Baker

Each week on our podcast we dissect three links we’ve come across our internet travels. These are jumping off points for what’s shaping issues, processes and happenings in the creative industries today. To find our more about our IRL open tabs events, visit opentabs.rodeo

We're looking at the top tricky phrases that every freelancer needs to look out for.

And we have a chat about 'How to Get an Illustration Agent'.

The Gallery

Lamington Drive is an exhibition space, art school and a great way to meet other artists. Feeling lonely? Come to a show!

LDR operates in two parts – 4 emerging illustrators and image-makers will work in-residence at the gallery for a duration of 8 weeks, encouraging on-site production and exploration (which will be open to the eyes of the public throughout).

This is followed by a dedicated group exhibition of the finished work created in that time, opening mid August.

Come down to the gallery between 11-6pm Wednesdays through Fridays and 12-5 Saturdays to check out what our residents are getting up to!

The above artwork is by current LD resident Tara Whalley.

The Gardens

Clear the mind. Feed the process. Jacky Winter Gardens is a creative retreat nestled in a half-acre of natural bushland only 45 minutes from Melbourne. It’s a perfect getaway for solo travellers, couples and small groups.

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

// Albert Einstein
