It feels great when people show up to the things you put on. We didn't really ask anyone to come to our inaugural Junior Film Festival last Monday night; we never pleaded or begged or employed henchmen to break knees. Normal, everyday folk, much like you, just started buying tickets until it was sold-out -- which probably had more to do with the fact we were screening the seminal documentary, Art & Copy, than anything remotely associated to us personally. You know, cause just like any ... Read More! »

It's back! Remember the last one? Sure you do! Everyone was talking about it. This time round our fantastic Mixtape Director, Patrick Collins, has toiled for days at the fields of music blogs to bring you the perfect music to brain to. It's also ideal audio to illustrate to, maybe even while ruminating on your life's purpose, whatever you do, it's roughly thirty minutes of quality tunes, tunes, tunes. [audio:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5619898/Junior%20Mix%20Tape%2002.mp3] Or, right ... Read More! »

Meet David Klein. He's the Associate Creative Director in charge of BMF’s new Melbourne office. It's easy to see why BMF (one of Australia's better ad agencies) put this hokey-faced bro in charge. You've probably seen his work for Nestle Drumstick or that shining beacon of football advertising, Toyota AFL ‘Footy Moments’. It's all gold! And you know why? Cause Dave just gets it. He knows his shit. We've done our fair share of these interviews with advertising bros and this one takes ... Read More! »

If there's one thing you should have learnt by now after seventy lashings from Stan, it's that your folio is never finished. Time and putting in the hard yards, can equal a bit of folio brilliance. It’s very rare to see a junior creative folio where every idea is brilliant. More often than not, there are generally one or two ideas in a folio that really aren’t folio worthy. Thing is, many of these ideas could easily have become folio worthy if the person who created them had spent ... Read More! »

Sometimes a room fills with incredibly creative people and you can't help but smile. That's how we felt last Wednesday when Ghostpatrol gave his ten tips in, well, a few more than ten minutes. But we were secretly glad it was a little longer -- there was something about his chilled demeanor, humility and beautiful illustrations that inspired everyone on a really deep level. Yeah! See what you missed out on! Everyone had a blast, and we transcended spiritually. Can't get much more ... Read More! »

You may say you're not afraid to fail, but are you really? It's a question that deserves some deep thinking. Stan's got the perfect thought starter in a man who embraced it more than most... One of my heroes died last week. Malcolm McLaren. As a young person looking to live a life of creativity you can learn a lot from Malcolm. He was an innovator. An instigator. A trouble maker. And a man of intense passion and belief. These are traits shared by many (if not all) truly great ... Read More! »
