<p>Semi Permanent book 2010 (2nd edition) is in my happy hands! Super, super stoked that my &#8216;Monster Tour&#8217; illustration was selected to be in there <img src='http://www.spore.co.nz/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Was very exciting to be flicking through the beautiful (hard back!) book  and seeing it looking out in all it&#8217;s grumpy monster glory.</p>
<p>As always the semi-permanent book is filled to the bindings with superb works from all around the world, a feast for the eyes and mind. Head on over to the <a href="http://designiskinky.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Design is Kinky shop</a> to get hold of past issues and look out for the release of the 2010 book 2 above when they do a reprint (they ran out at the <a href="http://www.semipermanent.co.nz/" target="_blank">semi-perm nz</a> event!)</p>

<p>Semi-Permanent 2010 ! Yes I was there&#8230;.thus giving me a proper reason for the late pic this week, or rather last week <img src='http://www.spore.co.nz/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The photo above is of the big screen at the superb New Zealand leg of the great <a href="http://www.semipermanent.co.nz/" target="_blank">Semi Permanent</a> design event. The image itself was orchestrated live  by none other than the legendary <a href="http://www.stormthorgerson.com/" target="_blank">Storm Thorgeson</a> (if you don&#8217;t know the name check the link and see that you definitely know his amazing work!). It took a couple of attempts to create the piece that was simply entitled &#8220;4D Fuck Avatar&#8221;. A small example of Storm&#8217;s fine British humour and his willingness to express his thoughts on the way things are. Great stuff <img src='http://www.spore.co.nz/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And yep if you look close you can even spot me in the crowd, haha! (pic is also up on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spore-Design-Illustration/125111894171170" target="_blank">my Facebook</a> if you want to tag yourself on there)</p>

<p>Stoked to find out the new board graphics I did for <a href="http://www.carbonartwindsurfing.com" target="_blank">Carbon Art</a> boards got featured in the latest <a href="http://www.windsurf.co.uk/the-uks-best-windsurfing-magazine.php" target="_blank">Windsurf</a> (UK) magazine! If you missed it I did a post before showing the new 2010 illustrations and designs I created which you can <a href="http://www.spore.co.nz/blog/2010/04/waveboard-graphics-design-illustrations-2010/">check out here</a>.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why it says &#8216;Recycled Carbon Art&#8217; it&#8217;s due to the use of a great new fibre in the boards called <a href="http://wikinnegra.com/Wiki%20Pages/Green%20features%20of%20Innegra%20S.aspx">Innegra</a> &#8211; it&#8217;s made using a green factory process.</p>
<p>Apparently the new waveboards also got a show off in the latest <a href="http://boards.mpora.com/magazine" target="_blank">Boards</a> mag too&#8230;just trying to track down a copy here in NZ so I can have a look!</p>
