TALENT SUPREME AND ALL ROUND NICE GIRL MADGA KSIEZAK TAKES FIVE TO SHOOT THE SHIT..

ok so lets just get a bit of an intro

I am a creative from Melbourne. I dabble in a lot of different things. Right now I’m playing around with paper craft and creating imagery around that. I would describe myself as a jack of all trades.

I guess what comes to mind first is your blog “every second” tell me about that.. is this something say like goal driven, i mean does having that deadline motivate you? or do you have a quiver of work ready?

My buddy Sam and I started Every-Second as a way of motivating ourselves to draw. It’s primarily deadline driven. If it weren’t for the deadline and peer pressure I probably would have given up after 2 weeks. I usually leave my submissions until the very last minute and knowing there’s someone else involved is definitely a driving factor.

So with every2nd you have a monthly theme? whats the current theme, have any been more challenging than others?

Yeah, there’s a new theme each month just to change things up a bit and we also take turns picking what it is. This month it’s movies and I’m loving it. Some have been quite a struggle and now I think the trick is to keep it broad but inline with both of our interests.

You won a scholarship.. at Magic Johnston, how has that been?

It’s been unreal. From the get go I couldn’t believe my luck. Amazing people, amazing space, the whole vibe has really been an eye opener. There’s no BS which is what I love about it.

Can you tell me a little bit about Magic J? what go’s on, who is there etc..

Magic Johnston is a shared studio space in Collingwood, Melbourne. I think it can sit up to something like 45 people. At the moment I have to say the majority of creatives are working in the digital realm but there’s also some other interesting things happening. Pretty much everyone there is freelancing so there’s a common ground for people to connect on. The longer I’m there the more it’s reminiscent of what art school was like for me. A community of like minded people. Everyone is really supportive and I think because it’s such a large space there’s always something interesting happening. Motto books and Everyday Coffee are also attached to the studio and that adds something special to it all.

You work with a few mediums, computer and paper, looking at your work its hard sometimes to tell what is hard and soft copy?

Yeah, that’s something that I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. The more I play around with this type of work the better I’ll get at mixing the two up. I don’t want to be making stuff that looks too rough and at the same time I’ve got to be careful not to over sterilize it so it just looks fake.
