Changed Date!

September LDA will now be held on WEDNESDAY 25TH instead of Thursday 26th September.

The reason is because LDA alumni Mandy Ord will be launching her new book NY at Readings, 6.30pm that on the Thursday. More details of Mandy's event here: http://www.readings.com.au/event/finlay-lloyd-smalls-launch

So go to Ladies' Drawing Auxiliary on Wednesday and then Mandy's launch on Thursday!

Lee Lai (previously working as Marisa Lai)

Mandy Ord

Lee Lai and Mandy Ord are our guest speakers for September. 7pm, Thursday 27th.

Questions to ask Lee: 

• Which train or tram line do you find the most inspiring for interesting overheard conversation?
• You have been studying drawing at Victoria College of the Arts, how are you finding this? How open are your lecturers to your sequential work?
• When did you start making animation? Is animation something you still plan to pursue or are you focusing primarily on drawing?

Questions to ask Mandy:

• People are often intrigued by how you ink, do you use brushes, marker pens or a mixture of both?
• Your comics used to feature white text on black speech bubbles but more recent comics have black text on white speech bubbles, what inspired this change?
• You create a monthly three or four panel strip for Trouble magazine, how do you find the experience of delivering shorter, often gag based comics?
