work is good

First day at my new job today. Geez getting up at 4.15am is quite hard. It didn't take me as long as I thought to get there so I can sleep in a bit tomorrow :-)

After work i went into uni and did some work. I worked for about 4 hours so I am really happy with that. I have done about 3 metres of small paintings already. I was surprised that i had that much already. 1m to go :-)

Busy!

I am so busy at the moment. I am doing my uni work and working on a piece that needs to be finished next week for 15 artists. I am also starting my new job Monday morning and looking for a new place to live.

In the image below you can see what I have done so far for my 15 artists piece. I am really happy with it. I especially like the pieces with the typography in them. hopefully when the people in Redcliffe see my work they will recognise where I took the reference photos. I don't want it to be too obvious but a local will know.


My friend is in the US at the moment. I can't wait till she gets back so we can continue our tea ritual. We usually go to the tea shop to talk everyday we are at uni. I am missing our talks quite a lot.

Yesterday we got photos done of our paintings for the end of year catalogue. I quickly took this photo below of one of my glow in the dark paintings with my crappy digital camera. I am sure the professional photographer will do a much better job. The camera had a very long exposure as the room was only lit with a black light. Can't wait for the end of year exhibition :-) We are doing lots of fundraising to get the money together. I think we are having a bake sale at uni this thursday. Chocolate crackles are my speciality :-)

15 Artists

Good News

The Redcliffe City Gallery has invited me to participate in the 15 artists program in 2009. 15 Artists is the flagship exhibition of the Redcliffe City Gallery that showcases excellence in contemporary art.

The 15 Artists Exhibition will be on display at the Redcliffe City Gallery from 16 September – 24 October 2009.

tomorrow

Can't wait to really get back into my art tomorrow. I have so many ideas I want to try. I have been organising the bouts for our derby team and it was really tiring. I am looking forward to skating just for fun :-) I have also just beaten the flu so it's back to the gym tomorrow also.

Bandwagon

I am so fuckn sick of seeing deers in everything... i am over that bandwagon
if you're offended - get fuckd :-) I feel like swearing today :-0

Great day

I had such a great day of painting today. got to the studio at 9am and left at 4pm. I wanted to stay longer but I have an appointment tonight. I probably won't get to paint again until Monday because i am busy till then... Bummer. I am on a roll ;-)

Sick

The flu finally got me for the last week but I am starting to feel better now. Back to work.

We have decided to sell our 4 bedroom house in the suburbs and move into town. I will have to start looking for a studio next year. The studio at uni is good for now, just a bit small.

It is week 4 at uni already! I will graduate at the end of this year. I am really looking forward to that. I am doing honours hopefully next year and will still be at uni but I am looking forward to a change in focus. I suppose it's mainly psychological :-)

Fun stuff

Love at first sight

It's so nice to sell a painting to a person that you knows just loves it.

Back from Vegas and looking forward to going back to uni and painting again. Apart from the mural I haven't done any painting for about 6 weeks. But I have done preparation work and some research in Las Vegas. I went into the workshop at uni before I went overseas and made about 5 new strainers. I will probably stretch them tomorrow.
looking forward to getting back into it.
