So abit of a mix-match of responses. Do you all consider writing a traditional art form? Because we could always have a Traditional Art / Writing Contest. Where you have the choice of either drawing or writing. Its really up to you people?

<sub>-------
To keep the flow going here at the club. Do you have any ideas for the next contest? I've had one yesterday in the wee hours of the morning from *dunasmelly

It is clear that photography dominates a large chunk of this club. It would be great to see the more Traditional Art have a fair go. So it's been suggested the next contest should be solely for the Traditional Medium. Get all your hands on creative juices flowing! There already is a few members who are strong in the area but I'm sure theres a few others hiding in the membership.

~BrentJago suggests we have a writing competition. Can be based on Tasmanian, living in Tas, Tasmania value/spirit. Within any style prose, poetry or even essay. Its really worth considering. Everyone can write its just none of us are willing until prompted?

Any thoughts? Other ideas? I usually try to make the contest available for all mediums to enter. But its really up to you lot lol I just set it up ^_^</sub>

Applications are open lol I'm curious to know if there is anyone who wants to take charge of running contests? I'm trying to off load work to someone else hehe

Send in a note if your interested

As usual I'm going to apologize for lack of updates lol!

The main thing I better say is there are brand new features at the base of the journal. To excite, shock, amaze, erm erm enjoy. Hope you all take a look and head over to their respectable owners pages for a look further at their work.

Hi everyone
I'm currently working on organising a Devmeet for this summer, but I need a bit of feed back to see what works best for people.

Would you prefer the one date but three locations e.g. Dev, Launie and Hobart (in which case volunteers would be really helpful)

Three dates, three locations (also needs local volunteers)

or just the one day and the one location?

And what date suits you guys best?


I'm totally open to suggestions so feel free to note me at =missmixedup anytime, you can find my email listed there also.


The base idea I'm working with for the moment is an Artists Picnic type thing. So basically turn up with any art suplies you want, a bit of food to share and have a day of being creative with great people.

So food, fun, art, people. Sound good?


=missmixedup


any minors wishing to attend can come with a guardian if they wish.

Any news or local events you like to share. Send the club a note.

Hey all,

Sorry for the lack of 'happenings' here lately. End of year and all... But that's not the point.

Either way it's good to see there are more people using the gallery submission option. Instead of our usual 4 members lol Great to have a bit of variety outside of photography ^^ So keep sending the club your work and I'll add it to the gallery.


Well guess we should think about the next contest. From memory the runner up was night. But to be fair we will run another.. suggestion box lol So please suggest some new contest ideas and I'll run a poll in a week or so.

Current Suggestions:
• Water

Yeah i know im slack.. i keep getting told that

*littlepinkelephants has volunteered to help me with the launnie devmeet and this is the info we have come up with

Date: Saturday 8th of December
Where: Royal Park opposite LC and TAFE
Time: 1pm sound ok???
Who to look for: A girl sitting there like a loner with really really long hair and a little pink elephant ( i will get shot for that *hides*)

I still need help with the other 2.. ort should i just organise one at a time??? i need feedback or i can try to please you all ( and not in a dirty way!)

i need your help people to ensure we have successful devmeets.

i will be organising 3 different ones again ( Launceston, Burnie and Hobart) but all on different days.

so i need you all that are interested in the devmeets to answer these few questions.

• What devmeet will you hopefully be attending?


• What dates suit you best?


• What day of the week is best for you?

And will you bloody attend it this time ( those who did manage to make an appearance last time and look like idiots there by themselves dont have to answer this question)

i am thinking i might need a few helpers. *littlepinkelephants has already said she will help me organise the Launceston one. but i need help with the Burnie and Hobart one.

Yay members care about the club. Someone out there has donated us a sub for a short while. Maybe the Tasmanian Tiger is still alive too? Maybe the Tasmania Tiger has a credit card and donated a subscription? Who really knows...

so a massive thanks to for the sub!!!!!

Still want to ask other members to help support the club. Any amount of subscription time is great. Long as it comes from the heart. Aww ^^

Well Well, im back and please dont shoot me i have good reasons for being a slacker. Who ever says being pregnant is easy needs to be shot!!

ok now a friend of mine (*littlepinkelephants) mentioned it would be a good idea to have a devmeet before all the exams start up for those of you still at school.

i need your help people to ensure we have successful devmeets.

i will be organising 3 different ones again ( Launceston, Burnie and Hobart) but all on different days.

so i need you all that are interested in the devmeets to answer these few questions.

What devmeet will you hopefully be attending?
What dates suit you best?
What day of the week is best for you?
And will you bloody attend it this time ( those who did manage to make an appearance last time and look like idiots there by themselves dont have to answer this question)

i go to burnie ever few weeks for appointment so hopefully if we orgnaise it right i may be able to go. ( mind you my appointments are usualy on Tuesdays but i can change them)

i am thinking i might need a few helpers. *littlepinkelephants has already said she will help me organise the Launceston one. but i need help with the Burnie and Hobart one ( especially the hobart one as i dont know hobart at all except how to drive from zeehan to bellrieve and hen down to eastlands. lmao)

i better stop babbling..

For all potential members of this club, i would like to point out that we do have methods for joining up!! Over the last month or so I've had people the club but received no note asking to join up. Therefore I would like to suggest reading our journal on
"How to Join" / "How to Submit Artwork"
before you do anything. By following the guide lines you'll find there you'll save me lots of time, confusion and needless searching through lists to try and figure out if you're a member already or if you're wanting to join up.

Also, for members already watching us, note the club titled "watch me" if we aren't watching you still it's hard to keep up with who we have and haven't watched and will take way too long to find out. Plus another reminder for those who we're watching but aren't watching us yet.

Anyway guys, my rants over...for now please help me out where you can. Any questions can be sent to the club by note please...
