Apology

A big part of putting together Thaw are the wonderful contributors who do it for the love, and not for the money. We couldn't put Thaw together without them, and we always are very thankful to the creative folk who help us create our little publication. We always make it our mission to give credit where it's due, but unfortunately in the last issue, we forgot to mention someone who helped us out by supplying photo's for one our articles. Jade Smithard took photo's for our piece on live music in Ballarat, The hills are alive, and we forgot to put her name in the credits. Sorry Jade, and thanks.

Please check out her website if you would like to view more of her stuff.

Positive Posters

These guys have been in contact with us, as they thought we might be interested in what they are up to, and we could encourage people to get involved. They were right! Unfortunately their current comp will be done by the time we have our next issue out, so we can't do it via our mag, but I thought I would give them a shout out here.

"Positive Posters promotes positive thought in places that need it most. The idea is simple. What if we ask designers from all corners of the earth to submit poster designs that convey positive messages eg. world peace. to us and we pasted them up around the streets of Melbourne other major cities around the world ."

Check out their blog.

Cheers,
Kim

Deliveries

Today I made deliveries of Issue 5 to most of our stockists, and was excited to hear that people had already been asking at a few of the cafes whether they have the new issue of Thaw in stock yet. Thanks for the enthusiasm people. Sorry I didn't have it there first thing this morning whoever you are. Hopefully you picked one up at lunchtime.

Am investigating getting the mag into some new stockistss in Daylesford next week, and then venturing to Bendigo soon after. Let me know if you have any suggestions of places to approach.

Cheers,
Kim

Issue 5

Finally Issue 5 has gone off to the printers and we have just signed off the proofs. Won't be long 'til we have our hands on a copy. We have been madly stamping envelopes with our new Thaw stamp, in preparation for Subscribers mail outs. Very exciting.

Print time

We are just putting the final touches on Issue Five, and looking forward to sending it off the the printers. It's been a hard week, with both Rohan (Creative Director) and I being really sick last week. We are on the mend now though, and looking forward to getting our hands on a printed copy late next week.

Welcome

Well I thought it was about time that I launch a Thaw blog. So here it is... welcome. I will be making posts about what is going on in the world of Thaw - from planning our fashion shoots, to events we will be attending, bands we have seen and news about upcoming issues. We have had come great feedback from people we have met, and through the occasional email, but hopefully this will offer you another way to make comments and give feedback. I encourage you all to comment as much as you like. We always like to hear from you.

Cheers,
Kim
