The Illustration Work of Louise Byng as seen from Earth.: June 2015

http://blog.louisebyng.co.uk/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, 29 June 2015. Last week I did some illustration work for a forthcoming children's summer school at Birmingham Open Media. Drawing characters made up of electronic equipment such as wires, transistors, speakers, batteries and bulbs all having fun together at some kind of groovy circuit party. Taken from the event brief: Perfect for budding inventors and restless minds, this week-long summer camp teaches kids how to solder, build and program objects that respond to commands! How The Light Gets In.

Well monthly i...

http://blog.louisebyng.co.uk/2015/08/best-of-biennale.html

Tuesday, 18 August 2015. Best Of The Biennale. Picture the biggest exhibition you've ever seen and times it by 3. Then imagine there's two of them. Now throw in 89 pavilions representing an entire country each, and 44 collateral events across different locations, and there you have La Biennale di Venezia. Of course it would have been wholly inconceivable to get around it all during a 5 day stay, but here is a run down of the top ten tasty artefacts and experiences I consumed during my visit:.

Tuesday, 9 June 2015. Paying Artists Is Good For You. I attended a discussion at Eastside Projects entitled Not Paying Artists Is Bad For You. A public sounding board for the Paying Artists. The panel: Elizabeth Rowe. The ideas raised here have been rattling around my noodle ever since. Here are some of them:. SW shared that his mom will ask 'Are you busy?
