Event Poster, by Mat MacQuarrie

David October 23, 2014

This year’s poster comes courtesy of the wonderful Mat MacQuarry, who reminds us that “everyone’s work feels disjointed, messy, and unfocussed, but with the right feedback, you can see that you’re actually on the right path. So just keep going.”
