Alex Gross...

I love these little cards by Alex Gross from a recent exhibition at Jonathan LeVine Gallery:

little me...

This morning I was sitting at my desk with paper in front of me, paint brushes resting in an old cup, watercolours to the side and wearing an old cardigan. I needed to search for an image on the computer and I came across this...

Little me, looking and doing exactly as I am today!

a motley crew...

This little folk lover is an art making machine at the moment. The next show I'm getting excited about is one with a bunch of super fantastic artists, in fact some of my all time favourites! You can see us all up there, from left to right is Andrea Innocent, Brooke Bobridge, Me, Coralie Kane, Eveline Tarunadjaja and Sean Morris. We are all putting some pictures on the wall at a little gallery called Kick, in Northcote, from May 7 - 24.

Are there any Melbournians out there? We would love love love to see you at the opening night party on Saturday May 10 from 6-9!

This show has so far been lots of fun to organise. We have been working on collaborative drawings that we have been posting around from Melbourne to Perth, sometimes to Bangkok... and then back again. Here are some more details from our invite, you can click on it to view it a little larger...

under the sea...

Well I've been battling ye olde art lately. It feels like all I have done for the past two weeks is draw... not great for ones mental health I have decided. I need some sunshine... I need to get out more hehe...

Trying out some new things, here is one of a series I am sending to the show La Femme at Nucleus Gallery...

p.s. Thankyou for all the lovely comments on the last couple of posts! I have been a little slow to reply over the last couple of days... must be that lack of sunshine... I will get there!

floating...

Legs...

deep breaths...

Okay. It's been a big twenty four hours. I'm kind of having to take deep breaths.

First of all, we went to the Curvy launch last night and I got to see my drawing in the book which was super exciting.

There are some fantastic artists in there, I'll show you more when I actually get my hands on a copy! Then, and this is where it all starts to get a little crazy, this afternoon I jumped on a train and headed into Magnation where I found the latest issue of Kingbrown magazine, then I found myself in the latest issue of Kingbrown magazine...

There are some really wonderful artists in this issue of Kingbrown magazine, I recommend you find yourself a copy!

Then... hehehe, I picked up the latest issue of Frankie...

and there I am...

Okay, I have to admit doing a photo shoot with Frankie was probably the most rock-n-roll thing I've ever done in my life. I'm serious, it was pretty exciting.

Oh I don't know what else to say, oh I just fell off my chair with giddiness... i'll be back some time in the near future when I have recovered from today...

real living...

Thankyou to the eagle eyes of Shannon and Kate, they recently let me know that in the latest edition of Real Living magazine you can spot my little couple in a teacup...

Where? Right there...

la femme...

I have a few shows coming up in May that I am about to start working towards. The first one is at Nucleus Gallery called 'La Femme', an all girl show featuring some of my favourite artists. Here's a little bit of info from the Nucleus website:

"La Femme is a visual celebration of mothers, daughters, and sisters everywhere €”featuring a diverse and talented group of exclusively female illustrators. The artworks pay tribute to the complexities and joys of motherhood in addition to reflecting life from a woman's perspective."

When searching for inspiration the first thing that came to mind were the etchings of Mary Cassatt, whenever someone mentions motherhood and art I always think of her. Here are some examples (they were produced around 1890)...

I wonder what I will come up with! For more about the show and a list of artists participating you can click right here.
