I went down to the launch of the Artopia festival in King Street today to support Drive presenter and Weatherman Russell Woolf. Russell was the MC for the official opening. Well I say support… really I wanted to see him draw. You see Peter Kendall had told me what he planned for Russell to do – take him right out of his comfort zone – and I wanted to see it!
Peter Kendall gives instructions as Russell draws.
This is what (kind of) ended up on the page. Mona John?
Jason Chatfield spent the day doing caricatures of the speakers.
Russell thought he could have been kinder.
Artopia is now in full swing. There is a lot you can do and take part in.
