A Meidia project at the WebbyAwards
Some news from our official headquarters here at Meidia, some good news for our third year in business: our recent project, CitizenShift, has been honored by the Webby Awards!
“As a result of the superior quantity and quality of sites entered, the 12th Annual Webby Awards recognized sites and teams that demonstrated a standard of excellence.
Of the more than 10,000 entries submitted to the 12th Annual Webby Awards, fewer than 15% were distinguished as an Official Honoree. This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work. Congratulations to all of our Official Honoree selections!”
This is fantastic news for us who’ve been working to our best in the last 3 years, we’re flying real high right now! Congratulations to both teams!
Following this we have to announce that we are in need to fill out our collaborator list. We are looking for experienced, easy, reliable and communicative collaborators for our different projects so please email us if you could fit the following:
- Drupal theming, CSS developer
- Responsible of promotion, help in strategy & branding (this is the fun part we know, but we’re busy somewhere else, blogging i guess).
On my desk
What a week! Tons of things to do, and this week i’ve been shipping my book to Sweden, Australia and Japan.
Here is the map of places where my book is currently travelling:
And spring is finally there - bliss!
On my desk today
*if you click you’ll reach the flickr page, this picture has many notes!
New work on my Etsy shop
I’ve got 10 sets of illustration magnets for sale in my Etsy shop. Each set has 10 1″ magnets made from my original hand-drawn illustrations. Buy them directly on Etsy, or email me 
Wednesday, on my desk…
This image is part of the ‘On my desk‘ project. As it often happen, since a week the floor is becoming my desk, this to help me gain a perspective on my work. Stuff is spread around, until i decide to sort things out!
My book is travelling
Here is a map of where my book has been shipped in the last weeks - i think maybe i should keep a map of all the places around the world where i ship my illustrations and books, i so love to visualize my work travelling!!
New Work
My latest work, collages and acrylique on 36 x 36 inch canvas, see detail here. For more infos contact me.
On my desk
Loobylu from the world of Oz pointed today to the On my desk… Wednesday meme, a picture project aimed to peek in at other people’s stuff, but otherwise another great way to connect with uber creative souls around the globe - i think Creacamp girls should jump in! Just join and post each wednesday a picture of your work desk, as it is.
This is Chris’s desk… which says it all: I am wrangling with software code as well as with hardware tools which I am using for my sculptures.
Nina’s 6×6 project
Netherland blogger Nina posted on flickr her 6 pieces for the 6×6 project - hard to hide my enthousiasm for this project! It is always a very nice surprise to see how another artist is using the material i have sent them…
My 6 pieces will have to wait a little, still waiting for Nina’s package coming over from the Netherlands.
The 6×6 project might expand a little further this year, since we are sending proposals to galleries. Let us know if you have any tips about where or who could be interested in exhibiting a collective project like this one.
My threadless submission, go vote!
Hey people! I have submitted a tee shirt design called Triumph (Ipod Serie) to Threadless.com to be voted and hopefully printed.
If I get enough high scores the shirt will be printed and sold from the site, take a look at it and if you like it, vote for it!
Focus
End of the month, time for tax papers. You are now reading words written by the worst procrastinator ever when its time for paper work - even if i know this will take me just a few hours, i dont like numbers, so anything will distract me from getting going.
‘Keeping Focus While Beating Back Distractions‘ is a list of really interesting tips to keep your focus laser sharp, and your urge to procrastinate at bay.
The ones i like most are ‘Take frequent, smaller breaks‘ - this is your chance to nap often dear at-home-worker, and ‘Switch activities constantly‘ - its just like that, i work better if i switch of activities often, and no, dont blame the attention disorder, i’m just like that!
Creacamp 2008
Enfin fière d’annoncer les prochaines dates de Creacamp pour cette nouvelle année! Les voici, les détails se trouvent sur creacamp.org:
- Off Creacamp le 20 février 2008, de 18h à ++
- Présentations Creacamp le 3 Mai 2008, comme d’habitude nous sélectionnerons 4 présentatrices pour cette édition, alors contactez-nous si vous aimeriez présenter vos créations, parler de votre cheminement créatif. Svp d’abord consulter le guide de présentation!
Avec pour thème principal la créativité au féminin, creacamp est une rencontre regroupant les créatrices DIY d’ici pour que ces dernières présentent et échangent sur les projets dont elles sont à la tête.
Elles confectionnent des vêtements à partir de matériaux recyclés, documentent sur le web le grouillement de leur communauté, créent leurs propres magazines, receuils de poésie, bijoux. Elles utilisent le web pour partager et étendre leur créativité, et documenter leur processus.
L’événement se déroule avec de courtes présentations qui ont pour but de faire valoir les talents, idées, et expériences de chacune, et de promouvoir la création de liens entre les créatives d’ici. Les présentations sont données par des femmes, mais tous sont invités à faire partie de l’audience.

New Work
Here are some new pieces done over the last months, remixing magazine advertising. Hope you like them.
I am currently trying to find a platform to easily create art portfolio, this using flickr as a basis. Do you know something like that?
Poster
‘Older Now’, a part of my ipod serie, was published as poster size and distributed for free by an asian media.
News from Meïdia
We just updated the Meïdia Studio website with some news (nouvelles en français ici) announcing our latest realizations, CITIZENShift and its sister site in french, Parole Citoyenne, which were both launched in beta last December.
Both sites are interactive platforms where people can explore social issues through films, photography, articles, blogs and podcasts - spaces for everyone to engage with other activists and creative people, and to share media content. Meïdia was responsible for creating the concept along with CITIZENShift and Parole Citoyenne’s team, graphic design, development and integration of the backend, testing and quality assurance of both platforms.
Over the last months we’ve also worked with Passeport Santé, bringing to life their podcasting project, we’ve supported Alternatives’s youth internship programs with our workshops about web publishing tools, and a new website coming soon for Codes d’accès. We also contributed to a chapter of the book Pourquoi Bloguer dans un contexte d’affaires, and m-c self-published her first book, First Thoughts on life, blogging, and the creative process. Whew!
We are now back from a trip in Berlin, a trip in which we explored what was happening technology wise in Europe, so that we can better perform in the projects we create here. About what 2008 will bring our way, we can’t predict exactly (we still do not have this talent!), but as Meïdia will be 3 years old soon, we feel like our business is entering a more adult stage, one for which we feel better equipped to start on new ventures. You’ll get to hear about this on our respective blogs.
On this, looking forward to meet you on our new adventures!
