The Thousands

With the death of the polaroid ominous and little Kmart 1-hour photos labs closing down all over the nation, it’s hard to get a ‘to have and to hold’ happy snap these days. Sure we have digital! But when was the last time you got those 300 MySpace profile perfect picture shots printed on real photographic paper instead of your canon bubble-jet? And you can forget the element of surprise! Digital is for frauds! OK, so maybe that’s a little too outrageous coming from an online publication.**We don’t have ALL the answers OK, but we do have Girlie Pains. Mel Stringer is an ex-brisbane illustrator who can do amazing things to your digital (or analogue) photos – she can turn them Jetsons! (aka into vibrant cartoon like versions of yourself) – but right here on planet earth! Give the gift of CMYK this Christmas – need we remind you there are discounts for lovers /twins/ besties/ two-headed freaks and including your pet parakeet is nada.
