WEBUYYOURKIDS
Ok. I must say, out of the past three years of waking up early, deciding what to wear, will I be warm enough, should I bring a bag to carry everything I buy for the next three days, I most definately should eat a little breakfast or grab a coffee down Degraves before the conference begins, this year at agIdeas, I've come away feeling a little tired, slightly disappointed and sheerly unsexy. With significant weight on the supposed celebration of the 20th year anniversary considered, one would envision an explosive golden platter of speakers, loads of international sensation, gushings and endless helpings of delicious design gravy and something to write home to mum about. Wrong. It was rather ordinary. Unthankful. Dismal. Tiring. I actually fell asleep during Amanda Henderson and woke up to Dean Poole, whom happens to be a brilliant. Hmmmmmm. Anyway, insipidness aside, there were a few stand out speakers including Agnete Enga from the Femme Den based at Smart Design, Michel Bouvet, Moose (Paul Curtis) and the lucrative lovelove-makers, Webuyyourkids. They flew down from Sydney to share with us some of their work and talk about their joy for illustration and design.
So here. I just wanted to show a few of the posters i find edible.

A JOURNEY AROUND MY SKULL
─ Burning Star Core - Challenger album cover. Illustration by Robert Beatty 2008
Through an undecidable day off of class today, I decided to skim through bookmarked blogs and websites as a distraction from guilt, and BAM!!!....I found this. A Journey Through My Skull is a deep deep well of era-clad book covers, illustration and design from all over the world, as part of an obsessive collection which seems to be fed rather regularly. There is so much to look at go completely mad over and here is just a few I found incredible. These are scanned images of some pages from Children's books taken from the blog and you'll find they've been reposted a million times on other sites..but..oh well. You'll be wiping the sweat from your brow just as I was...
─ The Miracles of Life 1992. A russian elementary school text book for children.
