Ideal Specimen DVD

Finally got a chance to pick up a copy of the ideal specimen DVD. Looks fantastic! Just wanted to say thanks to the DVD team and all the others that were involved in putting it together. You guys did a brilliant job! I’m sure there are probably plenty of copies left for anyone who still hasn’t picked theirs up.

Monique and I are quite proud of this website, as it is our first project to go online since we began the graduate program at GPYR!!!! Monique designed it, and I helped build the assets and managed the project. We has quite the hairy adventure getting it done, but hey, the result is pretty cool...

Last year there seemed to be quite a few people from ADoM that were in bands. So if any of you guys have a gig coming up, feel free to post the details up here… (or send the info to me and I’ll be happy to put it up for you. s_barbic@hotmail.com).

That being said, check out the one that’s on tonight… details below.

Latest Adomite event:

Saturday Night – 10th Feb. Limerick Arms Hotel, Cnr Park & Clarendon St, South Melbourne, 9pm onwards. Suffering from ADoM withdrawal symptoms? Then come along and hang out with some Adomites. Backman Allen are playing a few sets of killer covers.

Semi-Permanent07

Well semi-permanent is back, and this time bigger and better than ever (well… actually I wouldn’t know as it hasn’t started yet, and I have yet to ever attend the event). Anyway if there is anyone out there that has been before, and can tell us a little about it leave a comment.

The speakers they have lined up for Sydney so far are….

Blk/Mrkt / Dave Kinsey - Studio / Painting / Illustration / Gallery
James Jean - Illustration / Painting
Jonathan Zawada - Designer / Creative
Marmalade - Magazine
Tiffany Bozic - Painting / Illustration
Motion Theory - Music Videos / Film
Mike o'meally - Photography / Skate
si scott - Typography / Graphic Design

Little disappointed that I probably won’t be going this year cos James Jean is going to be there. He’s a really great illustrator.

Anyone interested in going this year? I've heard that a few people might be heading up there.

Welcome

Welcome to the “ADoMITES” site. The main purpose of this site is so that all of us ADoM Alumni can keep in contact with each other.

This way we can chat with Adomites on the other side of the world, list local events, post & get feedback on our work, get in touch with Ex-ADoM students about project collaborations, post jobs, organize get-togethers, talk about movies, write a tutorial, tell us what you had for breakfast etc… and generally just keep in touch.

Enjoy!
