Interview With Kate Bezar Creator of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on.


Following my short article of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on, that i’d found at the Design Market
Comes an excerpt from the interview with Kate Bezar via theDesignfiles.net

Well loved Dumbo Feather Library

Well-loved Dumbo feather library

I get the feeling Kate Bezar is a bit of a dynamo.

It’s not just the incredible success she’s had with her stunning independent publication Dumbo feather in a fiercely competitive market….. (a magazine she started single-handedly five years ago and with no journalism experience, mind you). No, mainly, it’s the fact that just a few seconds of googling brings up so many varied accolades and creative collaborations that I begin to wonder if there might be 25 Kate Bezars.

But no, there’s only 1. And she’s here, here, here and even here.

And of course, she’s here! [thedesignfiles.net] Read on for an insight into the inspiring world of ‘editor, publisher & dreamer’, Kate Bezar. Thanks so much for your time Kate!”

Thedesignfiles: “Tell me a little about your background – what did you study and what path led you to what you’re doing now?”

“I’d almost bet I’m the first person with a Chemistry degree to grace your blog!

I think, like a lot of people, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. So, when I finished school, even though my best marks were in English and Painting, I thought the more sensible thing to do would be to study Commerce and Science. That lead me to a very sensible career as a management consultant working on projects for companies like banks and airlines, both of which I also used a lot; I flew ridiculous amounts and was paid ridiculously well. That was pretty seductive, but on some really fundamental level I knew it wasn’t what I was meant to be doing with my life, it wasn’t what I was passionate about.

I was volunteering at art galleries on weekends just to get my ‘fix’. Eventually I walked into a newsagent one night wanting to buy a mag but just couldn’t find what I wanted. I wanted to read about real people who’d found what they were passionate about in life and how they’d gone about pursuing it. When I walked out of that newsagent and I hadn’t found a mag but I had found what I was going to do. I was going to make a mag for people like me.”

    are using on your blog?

  21. 바카라타이 않은 것에 대한 복수의 의미만은 아닙니다.

    그건 거짓이기 때문에 따를 수 없습니다.
    백성들에게 희망을 줄 수 있지 않을까요 예 황야에 숨어있던 지혜로운 은자가 홀연히 나타나 국왕을 돕는다면, 백 성들은 안심하지 않겠습니까 그럴 듯하네 그러나 카알은 고개를 가로저었다.
    바카라타이 전 지혜로운 은자도 아닐뿐더러, 이 이상의 조 언을 하고 싶은 생각도 없습니다.
    능력도 없지만서도. 제가 공주님의 오빠에 게 말한 전략도 제 생각이 아닙니다.
    제가 여행길에서 만난 어떤 지혜롭 고 선량한 젊은이의 생각이었습니다 .
    차라리 그 젊은이에게 그 역할을 주면 어울리겠군요.
    어쨌든 거짓은 곧 들통날 것입니다. 백성들이 기만 당했다는 것을 알게 된다면,
    왕가에 대한 그들의 신뢰가 얼마나 떨어지 겠습 니까 글쎄.

    펠레일은 말했잖아 카알은 전령 노릇이나 할 사람은 아니라고.
    펠레일의 짤막한 말 한 마디로 카알은 그것을 다 알아들어버렸으니까, 내가 보기엔 카알은
    핸드레이크의 역할을 해도 될 것 같은데. 그 때였다.
    멀리서 누가 부르는 소리가 들려왔다. 리핏 트왈리전이라는 그
    궁내부장이었다. 그는 몇 명의 궁내부원과 함
    께 황급하게, 그러나 품위를 잃지 않을 정도의 속도로 우리에게 걸어왔 다.
    아, 데밀레노스 전하도 여기 계셨군요. 이 분들과 환담을 바카라타이 나누셨습니 까 예.

    몹시 재미있는 이야기를 들었습니다.

  22. Kandice says:

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters!
