at Dumbo feather HQ! It’ll arrive in subscribers’ letterboxes this week, if not, then after Easter, and into stockists today - ask if you can’t see it, sometimes putting them on shelves isn’t a priority. If you’re from further afield than Australia, it will take longer… but rest assured, it’s definitely on its merry way.

Matthew Bax : From tax accountant to painter to bar-owner to Grand High Poobah… Matthew Bax manages to juggle paint brushes and cocktail shakers with equal mastery. The result are artworks collected worldwide and more awards for his bar, Der Raum, than even this ex-accountant can count.

Lisa Gerrard : If you’ve seen any of the films; Gladiator, Heat, Baraka, Ali or Whale Rider, then you’ve heard Lisa’s work. For the Gladiator soundtrack she won a Golden Globe and for The Insider she was nominated for an Oscar. Her music can, and regularly does, bring people to tears. It’s almost as if because it springs from her soul tissue it goes straight to ours.

Thank you eternally for getting the little mook out just before Easter. It kept me sane and came with me everywhere on what would have been a much longer and lonelier weekend otherwise.
Does anyone have any interest in starting a mook club, a la the NZ group, in Melbourne?
I picked up this little mook today, was looking for inspiration, and I found it. I went straight to the last story, (Lisa Gerrard) and it touched me, I felt so many emotions. Artistic expression is so intrinisc to developing ourselves as individuals and to spreading love… I won’t get too warm and fuzzy, but this little piece of heaven is now staying close to me, and believe you me, I am passing the word on.
Thank you Kate et al…. you are on the same wavelength with this little baby…. best for the future .
