Inspiration: Flamingo's

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great night - mine involved eating alot of icecream and trying to stitch as fast as I can for this exhibition. I am  in the middle of researching at the moment and wanted to share some inspiration for the works in the exhibition. 

There is going to be a major theme of animals and I am fascinated by flamingo's at the moment - they are so vibrant and interesting to look at. Will share some sketches soon.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has planned for art making this year!

Solo Show

I have booked myself in for a solo show at the end of February 2012. A bit of a leap forward from my previous post which is a good thing given the pending deadline! Here is a sneak peek at some works in progress - hope to share more with you soon.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Procrastination Is My Name

Why is it when you finally have the time to do something arty that you sit down and sort things out into little piles and colour co-ordinate them??????????

Inspiration - Soundgarden

In celebration of getting tickets to Soundgarden's Melbourne sideshow I am posting one of my favourite songs - I have been waiting for this moment for YEARS!! (Unfortunately all the video's I could find were from hand held mobiles - sorry for the wobbliness).

Inspiration: Fifi Lapin

This is such a bad photo and doesn't do the bag justice! I have been meaning to post about Fifi Lapin for ages and I got this bag for last Christmas and loved the print but had no idea who had designed it as it wasn't on the bag.

Then one day I picked up an old vogue magazine in a waiting room and ta da! the mystery was revealed to me.

I have been following Fifi Lapin's blog ever since and love her drawings. Here are a few of my recent favourites but you can check out more of her stuff on the blog.

Inspiration: PJ Harvey

I am so excited to be seeing PJ Harvey next year when she comes out. I think she is an amazing artist, so inspiring - and as much as I am a bigger fan of her earlier work her new album Let England Shake is awesome. Above is my favourite track The Glorious Land.

Etsy Treasury Feature

I am very flattered to be featured in my first Etsy Treasury 'The Eyes Have It' by Pat Ellerby. Thanks Pat!
