Welcome
I’m leaving on a jet plane and don’t know
when I’ll be back again...
After weeks of preparing, packing, and saying
goodbyes I’m about to embark on the biggest
move of my life - overseas! In just a few short
weeks I will be moving to Manchester in
the UK. I’m looking forward to discovering a
new city and a new country. Waking up in a
strange environment and going out to explore
it! Discovering new artists, designers and
photographers...

Don’t worry I will still be bringing you Blanket!

I joke that it means we have now gone
international!

This issue is devoted to Travel. Inside you will

find amazing images to inspire your next trip!
Enjoy!

CAITLIN GAHAN
Assistant Editor
Caitlin Gahan is a Graphic
Designer and Writer who
never learnt to ride a bike or do
maths of any kind. She loves
being a Graphic Designer for
two reasons:
1. She can Photoshop photos
of herself and
2. She gets to be involved
in Blanket and remain in a
constant state of schoolgirl
awe of the talent of the artists
and designers she interviews.
When she is not near her
beloved Mac called “Velvet”,
she likes to read every book
and magazine in sight.
Then, her fingers get too itchy
and she has to get back to
her desk.
DAVID SELF
Writer
Selfy is a guy who knows a
little bit about pretty much
everything. Ask people what
he does, and they would
call him a Graphic Designer,
Photographer, Musician or
Writer. In truth he is only one
of these things, but we’re not
quite sure which.
A self-confessed “Internaut”,
he revels in the geeky and
is most comfortable when
there’s a Firefox window open
in front of him. If you feel like
forwarding him a funny email
that’s going around, chances
are he saw it before you were
born. Why not ask him about
web comics instead?

Jek takes us on
a Roadtrip with
a difference...
Truth be told I’m not exactly a world traveler.
I’m a California native who has been out of the
country once, to Mexico, and I don’t think that
counts. It’s too close to home. So, while we in
the A-go-go household haven’t taken trips out
of the country; though the mister has taken
many, we do fancy a road trip now and then.
A road trip is honest traveling and can be full
of it’s own adventures.
Whether it is a day trip, an overnight or a
full-blown vacation, road tripping can be full of
surprises. I think that is why I like it so. Once,
we woke up before dawn to adventure to the
snow in a tiny town about three hours away.
The town turned out to be a dud but the sites
we saw along the way and the detour we took
to take the long way home was delightful. How
else would we have happened upon a roadside
museum of small candy colored houses?
No matter where I go, whether it is on a walk in
the neighborhood, on a mini adventure or a full

Roadtrippin...
blown road trip, I find myself picking up trinkets
and found objects that remind me of where I am.
I always toss them into my backpack or pocket
or shopping bag with the intention of making
a keepsake or memory book. Because I never
keep it all together, the tiny items, slips of paper,
matchbooks, etc. get lost and I never get to
putting them anywhere memorable. My solution
is to make a quickie envelope book. With just a
few envelopes you can create an accordion-style
book complete with pockets to tuck away all
those found (flat-ish) treasures.

sure you use it!

Here’s how:
First up, stack your envelopes, you will need at
least three.
Take the top envelope off the stack and set aside.
Pick up the bottom envelope and get that sticky
strip all gummed up. Either brave it out and lick it
or use a damp sponge to get it wet. Place down
on flat surface with the sticky flap to your left. Hold
your second envelope up in the same manner and
place the bottom edge (the one that is now facing
your right) directly on top of the gummed up flap
(keep the edge of the top envie even with the
edge of the flap). Press to ensure.
Next up, gum up the second envelope, the one you
just stuck to the first, and adhere the third envelope
in almost the same manner except flip it over so the
flap faces down. There will be a smidge of gummy
flap that wants to stick to the inside of the envelope,
just tuck it under and you’re good to move on to the
next step.
Accordion fold your envelopes into a single stack and
flip over so that you unstuck flap faces up on your
right side. Fold the flap closed and cut a smidge of a
notch, like a “V” shape into the fold. This is where you
will thread and adhere your ribbon or string or yarn or
whatever you have decided to use for your closure.

Could you tell us a little about
yourself and your background?
I was born in Fortaleza (a beautiful
city in north-east Brazil) but I
grew up in Porto Alegre (the
southest most metropolis in Brazil).
Since I was 4, I used to live in a
neighbourhood called Navegantes
on north area of Porto Alegre. It
was that kind of neighbourhood
filled by big company sheds - a
kind of industrial district. During
the week it was pretty busy, but
on weekends it was pretty calm,
almost empty. So I believe that
all I’ve experienced during my
childhood is still influencing me,
45 46
blanket magazine
9Li
especially the emptiness. I had
to use a lot my imagination to
create my own world. I used to
find industrial garbage and have
fun with that, it was a mix of
natural and industrial influences. I
remember I used to hear a singular
bird singing in the morning while
sounds of big machines were
taking place. It’s a huge contrast.
It’s hard to describe when exactly
I start to draw… Since I was an
adolescent I knew that I was going
to work with my drawings. Every
time I went off that path I would
have an internal conflict.
 t
r
a
n s f er
Have you finally found your
‘style’ or is it always an evolving
process?
As I just mentioned before, yes, it’s
an evolving process. If I am always
trying to learn, it will influence my
drawings. I believe that my style
manifests my way of thinking – it’s
a kind of “road”. If I believe that I’m
in my way, it’s all clear in my mind I
can see my way in details.
The subjects in your art are quite
surreal. Do dreams ever influence
your work?
I believe that my drawings become
more chaotic because they are built
in an intuitive way. When we dream
all our archetypes, all symbols,
images and experiences flow in our
minds in a natural way and I believe
that during our dreams we can
“touch” our spirit. So I believe that
my dreams influence me a lot, but
in a drawing I try to create an order
to all that content.
You have had many solo
exhibitions recently - what has
the response been to your work?
In the last 3 years I’ve shown my
work frequently. I especially like to
produce work for solo exhibits so
I can focus on an entire series of
work. It has been pretty good for
me to get in contact with collectors
and talk about the universe that
comes through my mind.
Your art has allowed you to
travel to different places to
exhibit. If you could choose
anywhere in the world where
would you like to exhibit next?
That’s always a great pleasure
and honour for me to visit a
different country to show my work,
I don’t have in my mind any special

What influences and inspires
your work?
My real inspirations come from the
sacred nature and it’s manifested
by the repertory that I’ve working
on in my mind. I’ve spent the
last months reading a lot about
Spiritism, UFO, metaphysics
and Hermetic Philosophy. Ancient
forms of religious representation
are a big influence for me. It’s
incredible how many religions
can represent their Gods and
myths graphically. All that caught
my attention. I could list many
different things that inspire me,
but in the end, what makes me
keep going forward is the mystery
around us all, what is beyond the
veil of routine.
What mediums do you use?
Basically 100% cotton paper, Indian
Ink and acrylic paint.
Your earlier work (in 2004) is less
detailed than the work you are
producing now. How has your
creative process changed over
the years?
I started to draw in it’s basic idea
of duality (black and white) and for
many years I’ve put all my energy
trying to represent my thoughts
using lines and textures. It’s a kind
of binary process of representation
that fascinates me. You can see
lines, drawings in every image. It’s
the foundation of an image,
the most ancient, powerful and
cheap form of representation
and self-teaching.
My drawings are intuitive forms
of manifestation of the spirit. My
drawings are getting more detailed
and deeper because I’m always
learning, not only new techniques
but to my life on earth.

place I would like to visit right
now, but if I have to list it would
be those countries that I’ve never
been
to before.
Have there been any challenges
in your career so far?
Yes, for sure. Every day is a
challenge. Five or six days a week I
spend from 8 to 12 hours drawing
in my studio. And to look at a blank
paper and create a view of my
universe from a simple line is pretty
hard. Drawing is the most ancient
form of expression but at the same

How long have you been
designing posters and how
has it changed from when you
first began?
I’ve been a professional designer
since 1993, but have only been
making concert posters since
around 2000. I think even in that
relatively short amount of time,
I have seen some pretty major
changes. The most noticeable
change is the increase in number
of poster artists. I credit a lot
of this increase to the website,
gigposters.com. Gigposters is an
57 58
blanket magazine
Dirk Fowler
awesome archive/resource for any
artist, but I think it has also taken a
lot of the “magic” and “mystery”
out of what we do, which has
opened the door for a bundle of
new/young artists. Don’t get me
wrong, I see this as a good thing,
not bad. The more aware people
become of this art form, the better
it is for all of us. The downside is
there are far more artists going
after the same gigs.
I’d say the other change is that
bands, management and fans alike
are more in tune to the scene than
they were eight years ago and are
more willing to pay for posters
than they were then. Bands will
seek out specific artists to create
their tour posters. That has taken
away some of the regional flavor
of poster art. It used to be that if
you lived in Austin, you only made
posters for Austin shows. Now
people are living in Austin and
making posters for shows all over
the world.

You choose more traditional
methods of printing - what is
it about the handmade that
interest you?
I guess a lot of my love for hand
printing comes from almost 10
years spent as an advertising
art director. I realized that I was
spending hours, if not days,
creating mass-produced crap
that usually went straight into
the garbage. I wanted to make
something that people would want
to keep. Something special. Also,
I just love the tactile quality of
the things I print. I love that you
can feel the type and see little
smudges of extra ink. The prints
are individual and unique. Most
of all, they have soul. An offset
printed piece of collateral made by
the thousands has NO soul.
You get asked a lot of questions
about your vintage letterpress -
do you get jealous that it gets all
the attention?
No, I don’t get jealous. She is a lot
older than me and I respect my
elders. She has put in a lot of
years of hard work and I keep
her well oiled.
t
r
a
n s f er
In such as small industry why do
you think there is camaraderie
between poster designers
instead of rivalry?
Probably because there isn’t a
ton of money involved. Though I
mentioned earlier how many more
people there are doing it now, we
are still a pretty small community.
We all share a love/passion for
making posters and we obsess
about music. No one (well, almost
no one) is going to get rich making
posters and we all know it. Doesn’t
most rivalry really come down to
money and the competition for it?
We really are a tight knit group.

Dirk Fowler
I count a few people I have met
through making posters as my
closest friends.
Are you commissioned by the
bands to make your posters?
Yes, most of the time these days.
It hasn’t always been that way,
but luckily, my style has become
somewhat recognizable and bands
that like my aesthetic seem to
find me. I really prefer working
directly with bands and band
management as it makes life much
less complicated.
60
blanket magazine
Do bands ever comment on the
posters? And if so what have
they said?
Well, the bigger the band, the
less likely I am to hear directly
from them. I usually deal with
management for the larger touring
bands. Occasionally I will get an
email from a fan that bought one
at a show and they will pass along
comments like “I got your poster
signed by Jack White after the
show and he really liked it.” That’s
really enough for me. I can also
usually gauge how much the band
liked the poster by whether they
hire me to make more.
I think your posters are witty and
clever - how do you come up
with your concepts for a poster?
A little fairy whispers the ideas in
my ear while I am sleeping.
Actually, I’ve never quite been
able to articulate how or where
an idea comes from. I am very
interested, as I am sure you can
tell, in stripping the art down to
the bare essentials, so that in
some cases, all you are left with is
concept. Many of my images look
very simple, but are fairly complex
in meaning. I like the idea that
you might not initially see all that
is going on, but on the second or
third look, you get it.

I’ll admit that a lot of times the
concept comes from something
that happens accidentally. I think
the mark of a good designer is to
be able to see a good idea that
comes from an accident and be
happy with it. When I was younger,
I didn’t think something was good
unless it was planned. I’m over
that now
I usually do some quick thumbnail
sketches, sit down at the
computer, scrap all my sketches,
draw a few simple shapes, piece
them together and miraculously,
the poster just happens.
You influence many but who are
your influences?
There are so many. Can I list 100?
My college professor, Bob
Caruthers has the best imagination
ever. We are good friends now
and after almost 20 years, he still
inspires me.
Probably my most constant
influences have been my wife
Carol, also a designer, and my two
young sons, Dyson and Jack, who
are by far, the most creative souls
I have ever met. Children create
art that is innocent and perfect.
They have no concept or care for
history. So far, no one has told
them “that’s not the way you’re
supposed to do it.” I am constantly
amazed by what comes from
their minds and both of them
draw obsessively.
I, on the other hand do have a
care for history and I am a huge
fan and student of mid 20th
century American designers like
Paul Rand, Lester Beall and Saul
Bass. I’ve also been influenced by
contemporary poster artists like
Jeff Kleinsmith, Art Chantry and
my good friend Jason Munn and
all kinds of ephemeral illustrators
from Norm Saunders (Topps Uggly
stickers) to Charley Harper.
You teach at the Texas Tech
University School of Art - what
words of wisdom do you pass
on to young designers?
They would probably say my most
frequent message is to “keep it
simple.” But, I think what I try to
teach them most is to be honest
t
r
a
n s f er
designers and honest people.
That may sound trite, but I think
there is a lot of dishonesty in the
design world, especially in the more
commercial areas. Be honest with
yourself. Don’t try to be trendy,
unique, etc. Just be honest about
what you do, and eventually things
will work out and you will be happy
with who and where you are,
like me.
Do you fail a student if they
use the font comic sans or is it
important for them to learn from
their mistakes?
Yes, automatic failure. What better
way to learn from your mistakes
than by receiving a big fat F?
Actually, I sort of live by the old
adage, “there are no bad fonts,
just bad use of fonts.” Comic Sans
may be the exception to the rule
though. It really does suck.
Our theme for the issue is
‘travel’ - if you could take off
anywhere tomorrow where
would you go?
That may be the toughest
question you’ve asked me. I want
to go everywhere. To be honest
though, I would probably end up
in some remote, high meadow in
the mountains of northern New
Mexico. I like quiet, at least for a
few days.
New York is nice too.

Travel
Surviving Long Distance
Flights
As a product of divorced parents
who live on different continents,
separated by a 12 hour flight
across the Pacific Ocean, I have
sat cramped in economy class for
years, at hours on end and thus,
learned a few tips to make long
haul flights more comfortable.
Project
1. Airplane food. Pre-order your
meal. Vegetarian, allergies to
nuts, lactose intolerant; whatever.
You will get fed first and collect
looks of jealousy from fellow
passengers. By the time you are
finished, the airline staff will be
back near your seat handing out
everyone else’s meals so you can
give them back your tray.
2. Seating. Get an aisle seat. The
only good part of the flight is the
10 minutes during take off and
landing anyway and having an
aisle seat means you never have
to climb over anyone on trips to
the bathroom. It also makes it
easier to curl up in your seat as
WORDS AND you have room to dangle your feet
into the aisle.
PICTURES ON 3. Temperature. Airplane cabins.
THE THEME OF Freezing one minute, hot and
stuffy the next. Take a jacket,
TRAVEL... sarong or even your own blanket.
Yes, most flights provide blankets
but these are usually scratchy,
itchy and never seem to be the
63 64
The Travel Project
blanket magazine
right size. Hermes cashmere
throws are best.
4. Entertainment. Note to self:
sometimes, the inbuilt television
fails. Cue hours of innate
boredom. Bring other stuff to
do. Books, journals, magazines,
iPods, portable video game
units, crosswords and Sudoku
puzzles. You will thank me when
it eventually happens to you.
Another note to self: do not bring
nail-polish. Unless you want to
endure dirty looks and eventually
have an airline hostess tell you to
please put it away as the smell is
nauseating other passengers.
5. Neighboring Passengers.
Never assume because you have
headphones on or are deeply
engrossed in your reading that
the person sitting next to you
will take that as a ‘do not disturb’
message. At one stage in your
travels, you WILL sit next to some
obnoxious person who will not
shut up. Ever. Aside from faking
sleep or telling them to be quiet
(in which they will always act
deeply offended and then sulk,
leaving you with inexplicable guilt)
learn how to say ‘I am sorry, I
don’t speak English’ in a few
other languages.
6. The Mile High Club. No matter
what maneuvers you and your
beloved work out in terms of
getting to the bathroom, such
as during a movie or meal,
everyone still knows what
you are trying to do. Airplane
bathrooms rarely have enough
space for one person, let alone
two, and once you add flailing
limbs into equation all you get
is an uncomfortable, awkward
scenario. All that said; go for it if
your curiosity takes you. Just be
prepared for the smug glances
and winks from fellow passengers
and flight assistants afterwards.
7. Avoid stimulants. No matter
what the experts say, you will
feel like crap after the flight NO
MATTER what measures you
take. I have tried avoiding caffeine
and alcohol, slathered my face
with moisturizer to avoid my skin
drying out and brushed my teeth
neatly before settling in with a
valium for a nap. I have also tried
drinking miniature sized bottles
of wine, getting tipsy as the
altitude lowers my tolerance to
alcohol before passing out and
drooling on my fellow passengers.
I never find my recovery from a
flight easy.
8. Baggage. While waiting for your
luggage at the baggage carousel,
you will notice just how many
black suitcases there are and
how alike they all look. To avoid
confusion, buy a hot pink suitcase
with giant purple polka dots. Or,
go crazy with coloured ribbons
and strands of glittery sequins and
decorate every handle and zipper
you can. While your suitcase may
look like clown vomit, it will make
it impossible to miss.

Xie Xie for the memories
In 2007, I went on a world trip
with my best friend and endured
all the triumphs, joy, fear, stress,
strange food, diahorrea and beauty
of quitting your job and wandering
into the great unknown. But of all
these emotions, I think the one
that captures the true spirit of my
trip is outright humiliation. To be
honest, I’d like to think of myself
as a culturally sensitive renaissance
man with a highly attuned ability
to feel and empathise with
those around me. Sadly, my trip
highlighted that I have all the
cultural sensitivity of a triple
bacon, double meat McBurger
meal with extra beef gravy at a
vegan barbecue.
Firstly, there was language. There
are times when I can barely speak
English but I was determined to
at least speak a little bit of the
language in every place I visited
mainly focusing on hello, please,
and thank you. Unfortunately,
my attempt to speak in a foreign
tongue was the linguistic
equivalent of Hurricane Katrina
- wherever I spoke devastation
and confusion would follow... and
laughter, don’t forget the laughter -
the kind of laughter that keeps you
awake at night.
For example, one of my main
hurdles was trying to master
‘thank you’ in Mandarin. The word
in English translates to xie xie
(pronounced zhay zhay) and every
time I attempted to say it I found
some new way of mispronouncing
the word to either the confusion
or hilarity of the local I was talking
to. Most looked at me like I was
saying some weird English word
and by the time we’d gotten to
Beijing after six weeks of travel
through China, my xie xie had
transformed something vaguely
resembling the word ‘zhoush’ that
Carson Kressley says on Queer Eye
for the Straight Guy.
The Chinese people were kind
and just dismissed me as an idiot
but in places such as France,
where they care deeply about
their culture and language, their
tolerance was less apparent. I had
been told before going to France
that the locals were receptive to
anyone trying to speak French
rather than assuming everyone
speaks English. Apparently, this is
true - except for me. To hear me
speak French is akin to listening to
a dog singing opera and any local
would immediately hold up their
hands and go “I speak English, I
speak English” which was subtext
for “Shut up and stop murdering
t
r
a
v el p ro ject
our language, you stupid man.”
By the time I got to Germany, I’d
given up which was ironic because
it was the one place we stayed
where our Hotel Manager spoke
no English whatsoever and talked
to us endlessly in German, none of
which we actually understood.
Worse still were my attempts
to blend in with the locals. In
Cambodia, they have a traditional
scarf called a krama that is used
in a variety of ways. On a trip out
of Phnom Penh, I used the krama
as a headscarf to ward off the
dust on the dirt roads we were
traveling. As we passed small
farms, children would run out onto
the road, pointing and laughing at
me. As we slowly moved by them
they would call out to their friends
who would similarly be gripped by
fits of laughter at my appearance.
Thanks kids.
I could go on but I think you get
the idea. While traveling the world
was life changing, the biggest thing
it changed was my perception of
myself. Once I thought of myself
as an intelligent, sophisticated
citizen of the world. Now, I can only
see myself as a child still trying to
work out how to say thank you in
Mandarin without sounding stupid.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF
THE THIRD KIND…
One of the joys of travelling in
the heart of Winter was that I got
to see attractions like the Great
Wall of China unencumbered by
tourist crowds. In fact, as my best
friend and I stood on this colossal
structure, we were alone. Well,
apart from four Chinese teenagers
eating Big Macs, a wizened little
man selling Coke and a magnificent
expanse of snow, stretched as far
as the eye could see.
Despite the temperature, I was
not feeling cold, having bounded
up the thousand stairs that lead to
the Great Wall. After five minutes,
the burger boys departed and
we moved away from Coke man
because quite frankly, it was
getting awkward. We proceeded
to pose for photographs, write our
names in the snow and marvel at
the history of this landmark.
It was as we decided to leave that
I was overcome by a very peculiar
feeling. Suddenly I was hot and
shaky. The thousand stairs, which
I had so eagerly climbed, now
stretched ahead of me, mockingly.
I had no idea what was wrong but
as sweat dripped from my face and
my feet stumbled uncertainly, I was
sure that it was bad.

One of these things is
not like the other….
It was clear in early discussions
that I had a different ‘style’
of travelling to my two travel
companions. I wanted to discuss
our visa applications; they wanted
to discuss… nail polish.
“What shade are you taking?”. She
was obviously joking. “Red” I said
in a sarcastic tone. “You can’t take
red, I’m taking red!” She was
serious. “We’ll I’m taking pink” the
other said “so you can’t take pink”.
Oh god, they both were.
I started to wonder if I knew what
I was getting myself into. How well
did I really know them? But with a
$3000 non-refundable plane ticket
in your pocket you tend to ignore
any blaring alarm bells in your head.
To my relief there was no more talk
of nail polish in the weeks leading
up to the trip. As we waited at the
airport they even jokingly presented
me with a bottle of ‘travel size’ nail
polish remover. I laughed. We all
laughed. That was until we arrived
at our destination and discovered
that during the flight the cabin
pressure had caused the bottle
to explode in my backpack. Was
it an omen?
After my resistance on the nail
polish front I was excluded from
their plans to co-ordinate their
entire travel wardrobes. Every
morning they would bond over
what they were going to wear
that day – who was wearing the
pink top with the pink Havianas,
or the brown skirt with the
brown Havianas.
They didn’t think I would be
interested in matching the colour
of my handbag with footwear.
They were right of course. When I
travel I don’t care about the usual
pressures of conforming to fashion.
No makeup, no hairdryers, no
shaving… total freedom. It’s not
that I don’t normally care about
how I look, it’s just that I figure
that most of the people I encounter
overseas won’t ever cross my
path again, so why does it matter?
For me it was a cheap t-shirt
from Target, sensible walking
shoes, an over the shoulder bag
(with a padlock of course) and
an unflattering hat that clearly
favoured practicality over fashion.
But I must admit that, watching
them, I wished I had made
more of an effort with my
travel appearance.

That was until we were mugged.
I was lucky. I obviously looked
like I didn’t own anything worth
stealing so they didn’t go for me.
They went for the girl with the fake
black Gucci bag (with the matching
black Haviana thongs of course).
They ripped that little piece of
coordinating style straight off her
shoulder - only the straps were left.
It might have been the near fatal
mugging (like any good traveller
I must embellish stories) or the
weariness from cancelling bank
cards and dealing with foreign
police but that night I couldn’t
fight it anymore. As we sat and
dissected the days traumatic
events I surrendered to the peer
pressure and painted my nails - and
you know what? It made me feel
good! I finally understood how a
little indulgence on your travels isn’t
such a bad thing. Sometimes after
a long, hard day of exploring you
need a little pick me up. So now
every time I travel I pack a little
bottle of nail polish in honour to
the lesson I learned. And I never,
ever pack nail polish remover in my
carry-on luggage.

WHAT’S BEHIND THE IRON
CURTAIN…
The Cold War was still being waged
when I was at school in the 1980s
and the countries behind the
Iron Curtain – Poland, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania
– were names on the map with
populations to be pitied because
they didn’t share in the delights of
Western life. We didn’t learn much
about these places beyond basic
anti-Soviet propaganda that painted
these countries as bleak places, full
of concrete apartment blocks and
empty shops.
So when my sister and I decided
to travel to eastern Europe in
2003, we had a lot to learn about
these former Soviet puppet states.
Although the Berlin Wall had long
fallen and the Cold War ended, our
knowledge had not progressed
much beyond these stereotypes
and the countries we chose to
visit – Hungary, Poland and the
Czech Republic – barely featured a
mention in the media.
We travelled before these
countries joined the European
Union, so we happily traded our
dollars for zlotys, forints and
korunas and found that, unlike
much of western Europe, the poor
Aussie dollar fared very well in
these currencies. In fact, much
of the charm of western Europe,
which has long been tainted by
glitzy, overpriced tourist traps,
still existed in eastern Europe. As
well as ugly, drab concrete blocks
of units, we also found well-
preserved medieval villages, lush
71 72

farmland, efficient public transport,
great cafes and restaurants serving
authentic food and capital cities full
of photo opportunities that weren’t
overrun by hordes of tourists. But
we also found that we were more
used to a well-trodden tourist path
than we imagined.
With a less well-developed
tourism trade comes interesting
challenges for the mono-lingual
Aussie traveller, not least being
the language barrier. You can
always have a stab at French,
German or Italian and hope to
get by without too much trouble.
It’s almost impossible to attempt
the same in Polish or Hungarian,
with the unfamiliar jumble of
consonants, like rz, cz and dz, and
strange symbols like an ‘l’ with a
line through it that is pronounced
‘w’. While the language barrier
is not insurmountable, it feels
overwhelming at times. Without
basic language in common, even
a casual hello to a shopkeeper is
off limits and the muteness and
incomprehension is frustrating.
Spending just a few weeks in
a foreign country gives me the
utmost respect for any migrant
who manages to learn the
language and start a new life in a
new country. Language barriers
can also lead to some interesting
situations, such as when we found
ourselves stranded in eastern
Poland, well off the tourist track,
in a town we didn’t want to be
in, with no map and no English
speakers to help point us in the
right direction. Fortunately sign
language and gesticulation, as
well as some pathetic attempts
at pronouncing Polish words,
managed to save us!
Throughout Hungary, Poland and
the Czech Republic, we found
ancient towns, dating back 500
years or more, full of history,
cobble-stoned streets and well-
preserved houses and buildings.
Quite often, these beautiful old
buildings, which would be featured
on countless postcards if they
were located in western Europe,
seemed to be taken for granted by
the locals, and seen as part of the
historic fabric of the town, rather
than as special tourist icons to be
shut up and admission charged for
entry. Walking down the night-time
streets of Sopron, an ancient town
on the border of Hungary and
Austria, we could have been in the
1600s, as it was so dark and quiet
and there were not many signs of
modern life around.
Modern life has made the
world smaller and travel easier.
But in these days of mass
commercialism, environmental
concerns and awareness of
preserving local culture, it is right
to be concerned about the damage
that rampant tourism can do,
particularly to local customs and
ways of life. I hope there will be a
way we can balance tourism needs
with these concerns, because
it would be a shame if people
stopped travelling. Travelling to
another country and culture opens
your eyes to different ways of life
and hopefully encourages greater
tolerance and understanding
between people.

suddenly I didn’t want to leave.
Brisbane – Sydney – San Francisco.
15 hours. Sat next to a 28 year
old computer engineer called Phil.
Talked about music, art, travel and
Las Vegas. Mentioned I was going
to a gaming convention, received
blank look. Served dinner last on
the plane. Only chicken left – cold.
Seats comfortable enough but only
cause there’s two of us between
three seats. Hope for similar
conditions on return home.
San Francisco is a beautiful city.
Reminds me of Melbourne with
its hidden treasures and light rail

Meet the first of my internet
friends at the Airport. Viv (coming
in from China), Kaz, Kusu, get
along straight away like we’ve
met a hundred times. I eat grilled
cheese and curly fries and we go
catch a movie. Viv hasn’t seen the
Dark Knight yet so I see it for the
third time (Kusu for the fifth). We
check into the motel six and go
eat. One of the most important
stops of my trip, In-n-Out Burger.
The finest cheeseburger in the
world and fries – animal style.
Uncomfortably share a tiny hotel
room with an uncomfortable road
trip the next day.
Wednesday August 27th
Sacramento, Bay Area California
to Seattle, Washington – Interstate
Highway 5 – 13 hours. But old
friends, meeting for the first time
and gorgeous scenery make
the trip a good one. We arrive in
Seattle as the sun sets. Windows
rolled down, Bohemian Rhapsody
playing and four voices singing a
strained unison – a grand entrance.
Friday August 29th-
Sunday August 31st
PAX. The fifth annual Penny Arcade
Expo, second largest game expo
in the world and the main excuse
for my trip to the United States.
Webcomics run wild on the
Internet, like weeds in an

abandoned corn field. And Penny
Arcade is the big, juicy king weed.
Been reading the comic for seven
years and talking to people on the
forums there for six. People I’ve
come to count as friends, people
I’ve come so far to visit.
Earlier this year, a regular on
the forums died tragically in a
motorbike accident. His death hit
me harder than I expected and
set in me a resolve to meet these
people who are more a part of my
life than I’d realised.
With PAX as an excuse, the
forums converged on Seattle. We
ate and drank and partied together
(with many drinks dedicated to
our fallen comrade). What an
insane few days. I leave Seattle,
overwhelmed in every sense.
Friday September 5th
Did the tourist thing today. Riding
street cars and looking at bridges
and eating chowder. Thank god I
don’t do this kind of thing often.
The four blocks of waterfront
are deafening, choked with
cookie cutter souvenir stores
and profiteers, preying on the
accented masses. I break away
and get a street car to The San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art,
my first Gallery of the trip. It’s the
perfect elixir to get me in a good
mood again, and a great way to
end my time in San Francisco.

Something to be said about long
haul bus trips. One third the
price of a flight and one tenth
the drama. The nine hours from
San Francisco to Los Angeles
is a bit much, but at least I get
to see some countryside; and
breathtaking countryside it is too.
Wind Turbines in their natural

rivers, mountains, valleys, fields,
cities – California. Tonight will be

LA Ink (High Voltage Tattoo). 1259
North LaBrea West Hollywood.
Got directions from my hotel
in Inglewood to LaBrea which
was only a mile or so away
and expected to walk maybe a
few blocks before I got to my
destination. Little did I know, there
is not one “1259 North LaBrea”
but about 15. Numbers go from
1 to about 2000 then inexplicably
start going down back to 1, then
back up again. I was dealing with
some devil road. Finally I found the
shop. Made an appointment and a
few hours later had new ink from
one of the world’s most famous
tattoo parlours.
Tuesday September 9th
My friends from home, Shay and
Brian arrived in LA and picked me
up. Brian grew up here in LA and
met his future wife Shay when
he visited Australia in 2000. They
pick me up in a big rental SUV.
When in Rome I guess. We make
a B line to the South Bay where
Brian grew up. A part of LA I never
knew existed, gorgeous, long
sandy beaches on the Pacific. They
show me Palos Verdis, Long Beach
and Redondo, we stop to watch
the sunset over the ocean, Brian
explains that this is what he thinks
of when he thinks of LA and why
wouldn’t you? Forget Hollywood
and Downtown, if you visit LA,
come to the South Bay.
Thursday September 11th
We just had to pick 9/11 to fly
across the country.
With Shay and Brian and their sons
in tow we jump on a plane from
LA to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. I
consider this the midpoint of my
trip and it’s been pretty great so
far, running out of money and still
have New York City to go which is
an expensive place.
I’ve got friends to meet and
museums to visit, excited about
the Guggenheim and the Natural
History Museum, and about eating
some pizza on the street and riding
the subway again. I’ll let you know
how I go. See you soon.

Fleur Harris Could you tell us a little about
yourself and your background.
I grew up on a vineyard on the
Mornington Peninsula and had a
gorgeous childhood on the farm
with my brothers and sisters.
My art was noticed when I was
very young. I received my first
big commission when I was 16. It
was full on, having meetings with
business people about my art so
young, but it was a huge learning
experience. I moved to Melbourne
for University and I ended up
studying my Fine Arts degree in
Italy and Melbourne. I went on to
study Interior design but left after a
year as I couldn’t see that industry
as an enjoyable place for me. I
studied for my Dip. Ed in Visual
Arts at Melbourne University and
simultaneously began working for
Melbourne artist Beci Orpin in her
studio in Prahran while studying.
My life took a huge turn when I
lost my Dad suddenly in April this
87 88

Fleur Harris
year, and so I had time off from
everything to get my head around
what had just happened to my
family. Now I work as a freelance
artist and also work an amazing
job part time as an Art and Graphic
Design teacher. I also manage my
toy company Kooky Spooks which
has been around since 2005 and
have a clothing label and a few
upcoming exhibitions in the works.
What is inspiring you at the
moment?
The Autumn we just had in
Melbourne was amazing, my street
was full of gorgeous auburn leaves.
I’d never seen so many leaves in
one place. One afternoon my friend
and I were very hungover and
we spent our time sitting on the
nature strip outside her house and
buried ourselves in leaves and had
a photoshoot. We were so tired but
the colours were phenonmenal, it
really lifted us up. I find things that
give me ideas without meaning
to all the time, I like it that way –
either things find me or I find them,
and I get this feeling as a response
to it, and then I have to draw. If I
don’t have a book or pen on me I
will go and buy one as I can’t stand
wanting to draw and not being able
to. It’s sort of OCD.
You seem to have a large body of
work. Do you ever hit a creative
wall? How do you overcome it?
I draw everyday, all the time,
sometimes when I shouldn’t be,
like at work, so naturally I build
up a large body of artwork. Also
if I have an idea I have to follow
through with it, so I guess I have
as many pieces of work as I have
ideas. I hit creative walls all the
time, on different levels. Most of
the time they are little ones but
a couple of times I have hit the
wall catastrophically. It’s times like
these where I wish I could just

be an accountant or something
9-5 that doesn’t require you to dig
very deeply into yourself. I start
thinking “Why the fuck do I have
to be good at drawing, who needs
drawings???, NO ONE needs my
stupid drawings!!!”…it can get
really stressful but I try to use this
as an opportunity to refocus on
what it is I’m actually trying to do.
Has your style changed since
you’ve begun?
So much so, and I can see how
I’ve changed alongside it. It’s kind
of like I’ve kept a diary without
meaning to. Certain things I’ve
seen and done have made my
art change dramatically, and
sometimes my art doesn’t change
very much for a long period. When
I look at my folio I don’t see it as a
body of work that has recognizable
characteristics throughout it, I’m
versatile in my style and ability and
my work is always evolving. I like it
this way.
Have there been any major
challenges to overcome?
My Dad died this year. He was
incredible and I loved his company
more than anyone. Losing him
suddenly has made everything in
my life a challenge. I now have a
tattoo of him on the arm, so if
ever I need help I look down at
my arm and the thought of him is
instantly uplifting.
What is the hardest thing about
being a freelance artist?
I spend a lot of time alone, which I
really love, but every now and again
I wish I worked in a big busy office
just for a change. I listen to a lot
of my music up really loud when I
work and I sing and probably talk
to myself while I’m working. I don’t
know how well this would go down
with other people!!
What is on your desk/workspace?
My actual desk has a laptop, and
a lightbox that my neighbour gave
me. I don’t use the lightbox a lot
but I was so touched when she
knocked on my door one day and
handed it to me. She had overheard
I needed one so when she came
across one she kept it for me.
That meant a lot to me. I have only
recently moved into my new space,
and am going through a simplistic
phase where I am content with the
bare essentials. My last studio had
stuff everywhere, I will probably
build this new one back up to that
eventually but I love it how it is now
What is your creative process?
I usually have an idea, and work on
it until I’m over it. How long this
takes varies on how good the idea
is. If it’s a crap idea I’ll know and it
will be over in five minutes. Some
concepts I have worked with for a
long time and pushed and pushed
them until even I am surprised at
t
r
a
n s f er
the outcome. Perseverance and
planning are worthwhile, if the idea
is good.
Where do you see your art taking
you in the future?
It’s impossible to know what will
happen, so much can change in a
day! Creating is something I will
always do, I can’t imagine enjoying
my life without it. I can only hope
that my art will continue to be
appreciated on some level and that
art and design remain and grow as
an integral part of our society.
The next issue of blanket
magazine is themed “travel.” Are
there any places that you wish to
travel to and why?
I have traveled overseas a lot
over the last few years. The
world is a scary, beautiful, sad,
phenomenal and inspiring place,
and for this reason I love to explore
it. I especially love the process
of traveling. Researching and
organizing where I will go and what
I will do is as fun for me as the
actual trip itself. I love the feeling I
get as I’m approaching the airport
and I love the feeling of touching
down when I’m coming home.
There are so many places I am still
busting to get to, particularly Japan,
and I want to see more of Australia.

of commonly misplaced objects
(car keys, passport etc) down a
hole in the ground.
What inspires you?
The usual stuff: music, pop-culture,
art, my family. All those tiny dramas
that unfold infront of you in day to
day life that make for interesting or
humorous subject matter.
How long does it take for you to
think of and draw a design?
That differs wildly depending on
the method of execution. Some
of my designs I have finished up
in a day but some can take up to a
week. I guess normally 2-3 days.
I usually have 20 or so ideas in my
diary at any one time, some of
which I will develop some of which
will not make the cut.
Do you have a “day job”?
I am a senior designer for Kona
Bikes Co. My roles include
designing all the paint and decal
packages for Konas bikes,
graphics for their clothing ranges,
advertising and all the usual point
of purchase materials. I also
freelance, designing snowboard
decks and clothing for a range
of clients.
What design do you currently
have on threadless that could
clothe the readers of blanket?
A couple of the latest prints are
Pulp and SPRSTR. Pulp is a pretty
much straight parody of all those
cool, 2 colour pulp sci-fi covers
from the 50s with a modern twist
and SPRSTR looks like a stained
glass window scene with Jesus
busting out some epic moves

aaron hogg
Describe your style on
threadless...
Just about all of my designs on
Threadless are hand drawn with
a lot of texture. I like having little
imperfections because it seems
more relatable.
How long have you been
winning and selling on the site?
I started submitting in November
2006, I got notice about my first
print about a month later and it
went up for sale in January 2007.
What inspires you?
Music, people and places really
seem to inspire new ideas for me.
I also like doing a lot of animal
themes so I think being in an area
that’s rural enough to have some
wildlife is a good source as well.
On a more subconscious level, I
think whatever I’m feeling at the
moment plays a big role in the
priscilla wilson
ideas I come up with – but I’m
sure it’s like that for everybody.
How long does it take for you to
think of and draw a design?
I come up with new ideas fairly
often and usually just work out
how the overall composition is
going to look in my head. I’ll do a
really fast sketch (it probably looks
like a little kid drew it!) and then
get going on the actual piece. So
the prep time for a design goes
by very quickly. The design can
take anywhere from 12-20 hours
depending on how complex it
is. There’s a lot of hand drawn
textures which have a tendency
to eat away at time.
What does your workspace
look like?
It’s usually messy. I draw on the
floor and when I color my designs,
I work on an iMac with Photoshop.
Do you have a “day job”?
Yes, I work at Kraftwerk Design
(kraftwerkdesign.com) which is a
graphic design firm specializing in
design for the wine industry. It’s
something a little different than
the world of t-shirt design, but I
like the variety.
What do you currently have on
threadless that could clothe the
readers of blanket?
There are a couple of designs that
I did that are still in stock: Topiary,
Piñata and a few left of Wayfaring
Waltz.

Describe your style on
threadless...
Originally my illustration was a
mockery of art; I intentionally
drew the worst pictures I could.
I actually enjoyed drawing my
oddities and so spent more time
developing them. I wouldn’t say
I’m very good at drawing, but my
style shows I’m quite good at
being a bad illustrator. My style is
naive, loose, dark and strange.
Can you tell me about your first
winning design?
“Doing The Things A Particle Can”
was submitted in August 2006.
That answer surprises even me, I
guess I am an old bugger around
Threadless now. It’s a big bundle
of graphical bits and pieces
centring around a mysterious blue
figure (presumably particle man, as
inspired by They Might Be Giants)
and features a whole lot of ‘They
Might Be Giants’ references as

blanket magazine
well as some of my own obscure
nonsense, such as the line “Maori
tattoos are tough and significant”.
I’d like to think that the New
Zealand voters put me over the
line. Cheers Bros!
How long does it take for you to
think of and draw a design?
I used to think of about 20 designs
a day when I was on the train
home, but these days my brain
isn’t as tuned. My ideas come
completely out of the blue, I’ll
spurt out some odd words and
quickly scribble notes in the
notepad I always keep with
me. Drawing takes 1 - 4 hours
depending on complexity. Then
I convert my lines to vectors in
illustrator, clean up, and colour.
Do you have a “day job”?
I work as a senior designer and
photographer in the Queensland
Government. Currently I’m
working on the Annual Report for
a division of 7000 employees. As
a senior designer I also regulate
other people’s work, or provide
advocacy for departments needing
exceptions from these practices.
See what happens when you
mention government employment?
I am speaking jargon already!
What design do you currently
have on threadless that could
clothe the readers of blanket?
“Inside You” seems to be a
favourite at the moment, with
the design almost sold out for a
second time. It’s naughty, cute,
and tasty. For a complete list of
t-shirts currently available, the

Web 2.0 has done some great things for travel. Instead of getting all your info from
travel books, the writers of which are always on someone’s payroll, get it from
a traveller just like you. Next 89 is a great example of this. An online travel guide
to Australia with content provided by users, it’s a great place to check out hidden
spots, organise a car pool, buy and sell some travelling gear and find a place to
stay. And when your trip down under is over, you can write about your experience
and post some pictures.
The last thing we need is another Myspace or Facebook right? They already suck
precious hours out of our work day and threaten to get us fired whenever the boss
walks past our screen. But listen, Where Are You Now (pronounced Wayne in your
best horrible Aussie accent) is a different kind of Social Networking. This one is
built around travel. List in your profile where you are and where you’re going and
if you’re open minded, you can make some really valuable contacts to help you
when you get there.
Lastly from me, something really cool. These guys take parts of old, retired planes
and turn them into gorgeous, one-of-a-kind furniture. If you’ve got a spare fifty
grand and want a board room desk that will derail all of your meetings into talking
about how awesome the desk is, then this is the site for you. I must’ve visited this
site twenty times and I still can’t get over the 747 Engine Cowling reception desk.
Look at how cool that thing is, damn.
