HiiRagi invades the MONA shop
I don't play well with others. As such I don't really seek stockists but occasionally someone contacts me and makes a pretty good case for me to put aside my childish attitude. So having made this breakthrough you can now find HiiRagi toys at the MONA shop! Hurrah! And if you are looking in town you can find them at Spacebar Gallery (along with lot's of other special designer stuff, meaning take money because you will not be able to resist the goodies in store, trust me I know). And that is all.

where will the wild things go now?
I was a little bit sad to hear Maurice Sendak had died. I grew up on the book Where the Wild Things Are and made sure that my nephews all had copies too. AH well, he helped make me the creature I am today. I think we should all go forth and embrace our wild thing, or at least put on a wolf suit.

Design;made Market on this Sunday!
Yes, I know I trawl off to Salamanca Market on weekends but on Sunday there is to be another awesome market:
Yep, Designed;made this Sunday (6th May) from 9am to 3pm you can see a huge range of Tasmanian Designers selling their wares in the Princes Wharf Shed No.1 (inside! out of this weather! Hurrah!). These is a great range of stuff from my own toys, tees etc. to beautiful jewellery from the super cool Emily Snadden and Otekah to furniture (it's put on by the Furniture Designers Association) to ceramics and gorgeous hand made knives by one of my personal favourites. Oh, and the infamous El Capitano Blueberry will be there too.
Oh, and I will have some exciting new things (beside the new tees), if I get time today I will post some piccies....as a hint, I'm giving you two words: ART PRINTS. Oh, you KNOW it.

Terrain Training Tuesday: Is the best outfit to wear nothing at all?
When looking at villians or merely those wanting to do as they wish, is it perhaps better to not have an earthly body at all? First that springs to mind (for me being the nerd burger that I am) is Sauron from Lord of the Rings. Now he did have a body but lost it (how do you lose it? I think it is best done during a scientific experiment or being struck by lightening or exhausting your power beyond everything, however from there what he got was the look of a great all seeing eye:
Now this is more of an elemental look. Here he is constructed out of fire (nice and destructive) and in the form of an eye, which makes you think that he can see everything. Now you can go beyond this and make your body out of anything such as water, air, earth or other choices like wood, metal or electricity, all effective choices. One drawback that was brought to my attention is that if you say went down the water route and took on the form of a huge wave, wrecking havoc along the coastline, unless you have laid some extensive publicity ground work people may not know that it is you, and even, that maybe it's just Mother Nature....not that would be humiliating to say the least.
The next thought was maybe you could just be intelligence transferred into a computer. Then the whole world would be your oyster as you ride the internet highway and if your opponent destroyed your computer you could just pop int another one. Genius. I mean we've all seen 'Electric Dreams' (haven't we?). The benefits are endless with limitless information at your fingertips. You can set yourself up in the core of the Earth, set up cameras to act as your eyes and ears and robots as your hands. Again genius. You will also be immortal and immoral as transforming yourself into a binary code will definately have an impact on your humanity (or lack of), making your destructive ways just that little bit easier to live with.
BUT then maybe the best way is to never reveal yourself at all.... Become a mysterious force that no one ever sees but they know you exist because of the trail of destruction that you leave. The fact that you remain unseen will only add to making you some kind of children's nightmare creature of legend. Imagine the freedom! Claim others wrong doings as your own, run amok! We all know that people fear what they do not know and understand (fools), add to that that you may not exist and it's a winner all round. I like it.
