Its kind of like feast and famine coming from fairly solitary work in quiet Canberra! Its really good, though, I'm loving it. You know I hadn't made that connection with the plague doctor masks, and its an arresting one. We should make more of it given a chance. I was asked to quote for a plague doctor mask a while ago, but the work didnt come through.

Sounds fun and crazy, visually. I think I might be overwhelmed by the Extreme Visual Stimulation. Wanted to comment on the penguin masks. You know what stuck me on first glance? Not the cute nature of penguins but a more forbidding association with those masks worn during the plague which I never quite understood (but admittedly I never looked into). They're shown in the biopic about Nostradamus. Kind of fitting, though, in a way... Hope you’re having a good time at the conference. Sounds fun and crazy, visually.
