Ok,
Aniscape is over. I’ve spent a few days getting used to that fact, and now I’m ready to blog about it.
Aniscape took roughly about 6 months to plan and organise, with most of it being done single handedly in my spare time, so I’d grown very attached to it. I’ve loved and hated it in equal measure, so the day itself was fairly emotional for me.
So I got to phoenix for 8am, and didn’t really stop running about until the end, but it was great. We got t..

Ok, now to a little profile piece. The Friday before aniscape, we’re going to have an education day (that’s why on some aniscape logos it says the 23rd! Confusing, I know.) One of our main collaborators for the education day is Dean T..

Ok, so you may have noticed news on Aniscape a little quiet over the past few days, and there’s an unfortunate reason.
One of our speakers, Szofita has been forced to cancel. It was tough for her to do, but it was a choice she had to make, and she made the right one. It’s just a shame for us that we wont get to see the talk she was going to give, I’m sure it would have been fantastic! She will be sending her work over still, so ill make sure it gets shown so you can all see h..

Wow, I’ve been so busy I entirely missed someone great doing something great to announce their involvement with Aniscape!
Rachael Smith will be at aniscape, doing some drawing, showing off her art, and generally being a great creative talent in whichever way she wants to. She announced this on her blog ALMOST A MONTH AGO when I asked her to be involved, and I totally missed it. In her typical style, she captured the moment like this:
