Merry Christmas!

I am a little bit early but I wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas before i forget and days go by and then it just isn't the same.

So eat up and create some fond memories.

 Here is a visual gift from me to you- some of my favourite prints above, Raymond Arnold's Western Mountains. 

Best wishes, everyone!

Yesterday i turned twenty three years old.

Thankyou to everyone who wished me a happy birthday (and Luke for sending me the above picture, a highlight of my day.) I had a great time, made some punch and got some lovely gifts.

Speaking of lovely gifts, i have some brilliant news!

I have been given a chance to exhibit in a group show at First Site Gallery in 2012. The show will be titled Reformation and i will update you on details closer to the date.

Finished school for 2011. Thankyou and Well done to everyone who contributed to make last night possible. There's so much i will miss about 2011. 

I did drop my iphone into the toilet last night though, not a great time.

Last day in our studios today. So many good memories, friendships and artworks created. Good conversation and a million coffees. It will be missed, for sure.

Lots of things done and lots of things to do.
Printed an edition of thirty-three etchings today for a print exchange.
Watching Youtube videos on how to make light boxes.
Applying for shows and preparing for our end of year exhibition next month.
Oh! and i did receive my prints from the Freak of Nature print exchange. Could not wipe the smile from my face all day. so so so good.

I was planning on making a different post for each of the four days at Impact, though as soon as i got home each night i just ate and then slept! I still wish it wasn't over!
Apart from those already mentioned earlier, i really enjoyed 'Globetrotting: Tamarind Printers Around the World' presented on day two. Here's a nice video on Lithography from the Tamarind Workshop:

WATCH

Also, Scott Betz, Liz Ingram, Rebecca Mayo, Marian Crawford, Penelope Trotter and Jazmina Cininas were all insightful and inspirational. Keynote speakers Paul Coldwell, Brook Andrew and Trent Walter provided a great start to day two and day four.
Impact aside, right now I'm taking a break from working on some drawings on paper. It feels a little strange as i haven't done any drawing in quite a while! oh and ps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND JOSIE FOR YESTERDAY!

Impact 7, day 1.

You Dropped This

Etching

First day of Impact 7! I never want it to end. The talk given by John Loane and Richard Harding's 'Print as other, the future is Queer' were highlights of the day. Also left with plenty of goodies (magazines and ink samples) and overwhelming inspiration. Bring on tomorrow!

studio backyard cake and other food breaks forever

Market

Market day in Bowen Street with the best group. Really happy with the way it turned out. Fund raising is nearly complete! (and i took home a coat and some other good things, yeah!)

Auction

I was lucky enough to take away two artworks at the visual arts fund raising auction on Monday night. The amount raised was incredible and everyone had a great night so it was a huge success. Previews of the two artworks above by Heather Ogilvie and Anika Simon.
