Creaturemag Festival Project - Creature@ Secret Garden Party.
For pics please click here. Scroll down for a Creaturemag tale of SGP.

Is this the best festival that we have ever been to? I think it probably is, not simply because it’s set around a lake, not just because we met some of the loveliest friendly people and not because we saw things that we had never seen or even thought about seeing before, but because all of it, every single little detail merged to create a party like no other we have attended.

For pics please click here. This ones first on the list for next year!

A Short Story about the Secret Garden Party, By Creature…

If you would like to make illustrations to accompany this story in the forthcoming festival edition, please express your interest by sending no more than three examples of your work to Creature@creaturemag.com.

At dusk, our satchels laden with all kinds, my garden companion and I set out for the Valley Of The Antics, a mystical playground beyond the great lake. The immensity of our journey was yet to be revealed. Meandering through lonely pianists and absinthe soaked poets, we wandered, stopping for a short time to gaze at the hoola-hooping actors gyrating wildly to the re-enacted plays of Shakespeare.

Neon spotted twitchers paraded with great bearded torch bearers walking hand in hand with gremlin brides on the scavenge for new sights, sounds and substances. Pickle faced storytellers beckoned with warty hands whilst crawling backwards into their tented caves, new mysteries baffled us at every turn.

We approached the great lake, alive with a green pulsating algae, passable only by rowing boat or by braving a zig-zagging stone path that hung across the surface of the eerie lagoon. Backs hunched and heads bowed we pressed on, cautiously avoiding eye contact with the creatures that lined the levitating thoroughfare. Some braved the sludge only to be hurriedly dragged, screaming with legs flailing in the syrupy liquid. Continued…

For the next wonderful Creaturemag project, Creature and the team will be embarking on a festival tour with a difference. This summer we will be attending festivals with the intention of setting up (with or without permission) guerilla art galleries.

On the ground, in the trees, on sticks, fences, portaloos, in the mud or on our person; we intend for the artworks to be displayed in a variety of inventive ways, adopting whatever means necessary, in various locations, at a number festivals throughout the country. But not just festivals remember…. this can be applied anywhere.
