Better late than never

Wow i haven't posted on here in so long! So much has happened.
I will try to update more often with my arty adventures + tips and tricks i've learnt along the way. Starting out is hard. I think it will be fun to document everything as i go!

I'm on Facebook & Instagram (and now starting a Pinterest board!) So that's really where i've been. Sort of.

MOVING ALONG.

I am in a group show, opening this week.

'The Beast Beside Us' 
Red Gallery: 157 St Georges Rd, Fitzroy North.

This mini series is a further exploration of how people depict certain animals in popular culture - it was something i was looking at years ago back at Uni (with particular interest in the wolf - a creature that has always scared me a little! But really this fear is due to the way i've been exposed to the idea of wolves and werewolves and such - you see what i'm getting at??). It's about trying to remove the ruthless man-eater stigma, as well as the charming courageous, wondrous thing (although i have less of an issue with this portrayal, clearly) - I think it's so important in getting people to understand and care for animals better.

It's all very interesting to me though.

Anyway, opens at 6pm. Come see if you're around!

Second Crash

My friend is having a charity raffle to help raise money for the cancer council, so i thought i'd offer to put in a drawing! I wish i had some mount board to make it look slightly less awkward in this frame above. Besides, I think sometimes when things are dead centre it can be a bit boring, haha! I still have time to organise this anyway.

It was a rock lobster!

Sorry that these photos are super dodgy! I had to take them quickly. Mum is leaving for England tomorrow and asked me to draw some crustaceans for my Godmother who has a thing for lobsters? haha. They're only like 12 x 16 cm. Pen.
Enjoy.

Elephants

It doesn't feel like winter anymore, which is lovely. And i haven't posted anything new here for a while, so have a happy elephant couple. I tried out acrylic paint to block in the black instead of running my pens dry and i think it looks great too! Roughly 40x45cm.

There's a Hare in there

WHUDDUP

Recently my Rhino was featured on Eat, Sleep, Draw on Tumblr, so that's pretty rad? After this i was emailed by a little website called 'Artsicle' and they're setting up i guess online portfolios/profiles for people. So if you're an art person you should check it out! 

My profile is here if you want to have a looky. 

This Hare above was one of the first pen drawings i did! I don't think i've really posted it anywhere though, so here you go. Enjoy.
