news from inside the bubble september 2010

The election campaign is (kind of) over, but I am happy to say that working with Yut Art, my friend Andrew Maj and make-up artist Alex Hiller, altogether as The Great Big New, was interesting, instructive and rewarding. I had a good go at being Julia and Tony Abbott, and we developed a 'newsreel' style sketch form to mix it up a little. All our work is available on The Great Big New channel on YouTube. As with last month I include a sample here. The response has been most positive, and may EVEN LEAD TO SOMETHING.... magic words in this weird industry.

 

You can check out some other sketches I've had put on YouTube embedded on the corporate page of this site, too...

 

Here are two of our 'newsreel' sketches...

December 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of Dave Taranto's passing. If anyone reads this news page apart from me, please do yourself a favour and visit The Taranto Show to grab just a taste of what Dave was and why he continues to mean so much to so many.
