Top Ducker: Emma Neath

Today we salute Emma, for her sterling work in duck spreading. The hand drawn style particularly please me, I love the in situ customisation, it’s what it’s all about!

Top work Emma!

I stuck your ducks up in Mexico, New Orleans, Austin, New York and at Elvis’
fancy pants house. I managed to put one on a voodoo temple’s altar and
another on Elvis’ private jet. Please may I have some more?

Yes Emma. Yes you may!

Ducks in Mackay!

ducks projected in Mackay Australia

“We volunteered for the Mackay arts festival and were put in touch with Crossroad Arts who were putting on a video installation involving a film on two screens with a live opera singer on a man-lift. We talked the director into putting the ducks up for a bit before the film was due to start. Week 1 the film was projected on the side of the cinema building in the centre of Mackay; week 2 the film was projected onto two nearby sugar mills (this is cane country to be sure to be sure!) but sadly we couldn’t get the ducks on those as well.

It was kwality fun both confusing and impressing lots of passers-by!”

Massive thanks and love to Bel and Bryn for this one!

Email

I got a rather warming email last week:

I was having a very very emotional day recently, really down and glum. As I went up the escalator one of your ducks appeared in front of me! I couldn’t help but grin! Thank you for turning my day around! x

Happy to help!
