tagged...

I was recently tagged by two of my favourite blogland people (Elly and Ez), so here goes, rules first...

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.

2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well
as links to their blogs.

4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Okay...

1. I love going to the gym.

2. This is because my head gets full of silly thoughts, so I like to run and run and run until I'm too tired to think of silly thoughts anymore...

3. I think Amy Winehouse is hot... ha! (ok not when she's super skinny). I'm only thinking this because I just saw her on channel v at the gym.

4. I think channel v is the definition of hyper-mediocrity.

5. I thought of these answers at the gym. The End.

There you go hehe quick sticks, now who wants to play? I tag you...

Also I have to say thankyou to Holly from Decor8 because she's the best and she included me (with some other fantastic artists) in her latest selection for Domino magazine.

You can take a look here...

shop news...

Today I have a tiny bit of shop news...

You may notice over the next little while that some of my prints are going to have a small increase in price. This is for a very good reason! I am slowly going to change my paper from the standard smooth card stock to some beautiful heavy weight, textured fine art paper. Ooooh it looks nice, if I do say so myself. Each will be professionally printed and they end up having the quality and detail of an inky original. They are also archival, so they will stay looking beautiful for a very long time.

If you were cool enough to snap up some of my new prints the other day, well they will be printed on the new paper too.

Hey I've got nothing specific for show and tell, but come over and have a look if you feel like it (click click click).

And just for something to look at, here's a picture...

new prints...

I have some more pictures to show you, these two are from the Cups and Cuddles exhibition and I didn't get round to scanning them before it opened...

'Hi Feather-Tail! It's raining... rose petals'

The original of 'Hi Feather-Tail' (above) is still available, not through Etsy but if you are interested you can email me at:
info@catherinecampbell.net

And with that, I can also say my little shop is getting fat! I have just added nine new prints. Here is a little preview...

If you are interested in taking a look, come right over here...

sugar candy...

Introducing 'The Sugar Candy Mood Swingers'...

In 1992 nine sisters formed a band called 'The Sugar Candy Mood Swingers'. As you can imagine, the pressures of nine constantly swinging moods meant they didn't last very long...

These nine little originals have just been added to the shop, in fact it's all getting a bit crowded over there with inky smudges and coloured confetti so pop in to take a look if you're that way inclined. Here is Jane in a bit more detail (she played the keyboard)...

gibbous...

I'm in love... again... with Gibbous.
(I know I've posted about them before somewhere.)

Gibbous live in a magical little world where the girls look like this...

and the boys look like this...

Please can I go and live there for a little bit...

Here are some links so you can fall in love too:

tinyshop...

I'm about the head off to the post office as the ink has just dried on four new little pieces for a show opening at Double Punch gallery in San Francisco called Tinyshop, curated by Antoinette Celes. I think this is going to be a great show and it also includes some of my favourite artists which makes me happy. Here is a little peek at my new stuff...

Take a look at the Tinyshop blog to see some great work and artist's profiles and all the details for the show.

p.s. These may pop up as prints quite soon in the shop... keep an eye out if you're interested, they are about 5" x 7" each.

exhibitions are fun...

Well... it has to be said, we rocked it... hehehe it was such a fun night. You want to see lots of photos...

Firstly, thanks to the lady in the middle (Joanne) for all the excellent photos!

Ev and her sister Nina (left). Nina made the most amazing cupcakes...

They went quick...

cups and cuddles...

Andrea with a colourful little person.

My buddy Diana (left) and me... looking like a goof... what's a goof?

people...

This last photo is care of Mr Innocent.

Then it all got a bit blurry...

There you go. Also there were some totally excellent people that I know from blogland who came along and it was really wonderful to meet you!! Thankyou big time for coming xxx

more cups and cuddles...

The show is up! That is Ev doodling on the window at Per Square Metre, so you won't be able to miss it.
Here is the invite again, just in case (click click to see it bigger)...

We're looking forward to seeing some of you this Saturday...

kokeshi exhibition...

The Kokeshi show opened at Subtext gallery this weekend, they all look so beautiful! Here are just a few...

 
Joy Ang and Evan B Harris

 
Florence Pacho and Camilla Engman

 
Julie Morstad and Jen Corace

 
Audrey Kawasaki and Pamela Jaeger

and me...

There is a new flickr account set up with images of all the finished Kokeshi... click over here to go take a look.

hehehe... I just had a thought... I wonder if at night time after the gallery closes, they all come to life and start chatting to each other! What a party that would be...

dressing for a full moon...

Well I've been up all night and I am almost finished the six main pieces for the show! Let me tell you, sitting in a studio day and night for a week does not lead to a sane mind... so there you go, before I crack up and go take my daily conversation with the basil plants, here is another little peek...

"Dressing for a Full Moon"

I think she's my favourite.
Here is the finished version of the one I showed yesterday...

"Spring Heralds"

Sleepy sleepy... I wish I was sleepy...

a little peek...

Hi Feather-Tail       it's raining              rose petals...

Here are two little work in progress sneaks at what I will be putting in the show next week. Still bits and pieces to add, not nearly finished yet... snip snip
