First up today we heard Frankie Magazine talk openly about the power of the collective, their tips for success and some of the mistakes they've made along the way. Founding Editor Louise Bannister referenced The Photo Album as something they were really proud of, but that they probably wouldn't do again. Then we heard Travis Millard and Mel Kadel share some of their work. Travis likes it when people fight... ...and when they make up. Craig Schuftan read from his new zine, From the Mess to the Masses. His analysis of popular culture, trends and music was pretty staggering. We'll be picking up a copy from here when it comes out later this month. Then John Trippe talked about his experiences running art blog + gallery Fecal Face. And then we had to duck off to do some real work. More tomorrow... ******************** Semi-Permanent is in Sydney and we'll be updating you live from Darling Harbour on all of the creative goodness that's going on down here. You can follow us on Twitter for regular updates, and we'll post images and some other tasty things here as the day progresses.
