ISSUE #09
Welcome one and all to Issue #09 of Melbourne Pixel. Things
have been heating up down here at Pixel HQ (literally...),
with this hot-as-hell weather keeping us indoors unless an
abundence of cool, alcholic beverages presents itself as
an option any time after 5. But moving back to the original,
non-weather related point, we have been busier than ever
before!
Of course, we are hitting you up with the usual assortment
of articles, creative Australians, hot
websites, resources,
and our usual visual delight from
Blue
Giant, but we have also been hard at work on the new
site layout and a bunch of spanking new features that wil
get you drooling on your keyboard (we recommend Viva brand
paper towl, and don't say we didn't warn you...).
But before you see some changes, we are proud to
present to you Issue #09 in all its glory. Enjoy!
ARTICLES
Reign of the Raw Idea
Born in Yorkshire (UK) and currently
in Australia, Dyzla is one of the most outstanding urban
artists we have ever come across. His unique style and stunning
use of colour and form leads to the creation of beautiful
eye-catching pieces that can be found anywhere from canvas
to walls, floors to vinyl toys.
We caught up with Dyzla to find out a bit more about the
man behind the art, and to discover just how he does what
he does.
A Darker Tone
Ellen Duffy is one of the new generation
of up-and-coming photographers who, rather than being motivated
by the lure of a quick buck for pointing and shooting, has
a real passion for the craft. The problem is that a true passion
for anything doesn’t allow anything except the best,
and Ellen is her own conscience when it comes to producing
high quality work...
Simon Smithson (of The Double Agent fame) grabbed Ellen for
some Q&A to find out more about her style and the person behind
the lens.
Don't Think
It, Do It
24 year old Sydney resident Jeremy Somers
is one of the few creatives whose work left
us speechless from the start. Excelling in multiple
fields including design, illustration and web design,
Jeremy has a unique and expressive style that's at
once familiar and comforting in it's creativeness,
yet bold and impossible to squeeze into the confining
label of a genre.
We grabbed Jeremy for a few minutes to find out more
about just who he is, and to get a better grasp on
his personal views and what goes into his work.
To Change the World
With the esteemed title of 'First Comedian on Melbourne Pixel'
up for grabs, what better choice than ex-pat Georgia Van
Cuylenburg? We couldn't come up with an answer
to that question, so here she is! Georgia moved to LA to
follow her career as a stand up comedian, and is building
herself into one of this countries greatest exports...and
one of our funniest too!
Simon Smithson caught her when she wasn't on stage to chat
about her move, and find out what's going on all the way
over there in the land of 'high fructose
syrup'.
Changing Your Sense of Self
Love Me & Leave Me is the youTUBE of the fashion world as
far as we are concerned. Our sense of fashion is not what
you would call a bullseye, but the basis behind LMALM is
unique and brilliant, and so far the people we've explained
it to get excited and start leaping for their browser window.
We can just imagine what this innovative website could mean
for the more fashion consciece of you out there.
As we have said, we are not exactly savvy when it comes to
fashion (my clothes are only 'vintage' because they're old...)
which is why we are proud to welcome Nadia
Saccardo to the
fore, and she sat down with Simonne @ LMALM to chat
about her inventive creation.
