FYI, if you ask me, an Autistic person, if I want to info-dump about a special interest of mine, my answer is yes, I don't need to know how many subscribers are listening, my answer is YES!! The D.D.C (Adelaide Fringe 2021) https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/the-d-d-c-af2021 Is your Dad dead? Ours are. Is this a terrible premise for a comedy show? Probably. This multi-award winning line-up includes some of the best local and international acts (lucky for us, some of the best international acts got stuck here because of the ‘Rona). You don't have to be a member of the Dead Dads Club to enjoy the show, just be aware that you are not really the target audience… yet. Also, if you were offended by that last line, you should be aware that it gets much worse, you've been warned. If you are a member of the D.D.C. you should know that seeing this show will not fill the void, nothing does… Did I mention it's a comedy show?

    Zjál – Independent Artist. Singer, Songwriter, Producer and painter has started her own record label and signed herself. Zjál https://zjalofficial.com/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/zj%C3%A1lofficial Facebook https://www.facebook.com/zjalofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zjalofficial/     Zjál There is a myriad of fiery and beautifully complex energies broiling within the soul of R&B pop singer Zjál. There's the desire to be sensual and purposeful. There are the competing pulls of Zjál's traditional Lebanese culture and her cavalier femininity. And there's the restless determination inherent in her birth sign, Capricorn. The Australian-born, London-based artist is a songstress/warrior who achieves a poetic Zen within her hip-hop tinged R&B. With her debut EP Home, she's sure to inspire and seduce. “I have this fire inside of me. It's a weird balance of being a rebel, but also a lover and a healer. I don't follow rules, I follow my heart and my intuition.” Zjál's aesthetic is exotic with an urban flair. She draws from the heritage of poetry as a medium in hip-hop, the sultry hooks of pop-filled-soul, her experiences as a citizen of the world, and her journeys in love and femininity. She's garnered favorable comparisons to the likes of Tinashe, Sevyn Streeter, Kehlani, and Zendaya. The London-based singer grew up on a secluded farm in Adelaide, Australia with a traditional Lebanese family that held a progressive outlook. As a child, she veered between being introspective and reflective, and bubbly and extroverted. These strong shifts in dynamics would come to define her as she embraced the duality within. As a child, she created a world around her populated by Michael Jackson, her writing obsession, and Kahlil Gibran's epiphanic essay collection The Prophet, given to her by her father. Zjál was born Yasmine Andary, and through her name change, she was finally able to harness the power of spirituality bubbling inside. “Zjál is the name of an ancient form of a Lebanese poetry slam. The name made me feel connected to my roots and represented my literature side. Taking the name helped me break away from my reserved nature—that soft-spoken girl who grew up on a small farm. It helped me go from Patience Phillips to Catwoman.” Hayati means “my life” in Arabic, which is what most couples say to each other to express just how far their love for each other reaches. The word can be found most often in Arabic songs about love and spoken in the Lebanese dialect.

    Hints and Spices was first established in 2010 by Adelaide designer Shane Haddy. Dedicated to producing work that evokes enjoyment through the medium of art toys. Ranging from one off sculptures to production pieces, Hints and Spices' work have been on display in galleries and museums around the world.     As a relatively new art form, encompassing a broad range of styles and influences, art toys, in essence, are sculptures influenced by childhood toys. Hints and Spices follows the Japanese methods and practices of toy design commonly referred to as ‘sofubi'.   ‘Sofubi' is a Japanese coined term for ‘soft vinyl', a type of manufacturable plastic. Sofubi can be used to describe any soft vinyl product but colloquially, ‘Sofubi' refers to vinyl toys made in Japan. What mainly separates Japanese vinyl production as a medium is the skilled use of slush moulding techniques. An early plastics manufacturing method that is no longer in use for mass production. As this method requires a very hands-on, skilled approach, it is considered work of an artisan, akin to handmade pottery or blown glass production.     Even though the design needs to adhere to Japanese slush moulding techniques, ‘sofubi' is not a genre or style.       CwC - Character Works Club Website : https://www.characterworksclub.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/characterworksclub/   Hints and Spices Website : http://www.hintsandspices.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/hintsandspices/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/hintsandspices/   Renew Adelaide  https://renewadelaide.com.au/    Sofubi  https://features.japantimes.co.jp/sofubi/    Sunguts http://www.sunguts.com/   Zarigani Works http://www.zariganiworks.co.jp/  A small, independent design house specializing in character and toy development.

    In this episode Paul discusses discovering his love of wooden boats at a very early age, building one at 18 and why you need to be very careful when you put boats in paintings. PAUL ATKINS Paul Atkins runs a third generation family business with his wife Kate. The business, Atkins Lab, prints, frames and make albums for photographers. Since childhood, Paul has been bewitched by boats, particularly traditional wooden ones. Paul thinks it began with Scuffy The Tug Boat, a kids book in the Golden Book series. While firmly photographers, Paul's dad John had built a speed boat when he was 16 which made the idea of owning such a beautiful thing as a boat a reasonable idea. This idea led to Paul's first boat build thanks to a chance meeting with Robert Ayliffe who had guided many first time builders into the craft. Robert led Paul to designer Iain Oughtred and Bruce Kirby, two living masters who have bridged traditional boat design with modern building methods.
