A huge thank-you to everyone who came along to the market on the weekend. I don’t normally get to see people see my work, so that, and being able to say hello and have a chat with everyone, was just the most happy-making thing. I had a really really great time!
I am currently working to restock my online shop, and updating my wholesale catalogue. Please feel free to send me an email if there’s anything particular you would like.
The Finders Keepers Market is an amazing event which brings together emerging and contemporary independent artists and designers of original and high creative standards across 80 stalls. And I am thrilled that I’m going to be part of it!
I will be sharing one big art-tastic stall with fellow artists Emma of Benconservato and Penny of Pocket Carnival. Come say “hi” if you can make it. We will be next to the Frankie stall, opposite the bar.
The Finders Keepers:
Friday 7th May from 6pm – 10pm
Saturday 8th May from 10am – 6pm
CarriageWorks – 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh*, Sydney, NSW, Australia
(*that’s Newtown / Macdonald Town)
An Artful Agenda invited me to contribute to their charity project again this year. With the range of items even more broad than last year, this year you can get daily planners, lesson planners, August to August diaries, and appointment books. The cause this year is supporting arts education in public schools.
You can buy the art-filled diaries online here!
I was also invited to take part in the Feed Your Soul project, hosted by Indie Fixx. If you want some free art, to brighten your home or feed your soul, go check it out!
August will see the launch of a few new things I craftied up, including keyrings (featuring my illos) and enviro encourangement card sets (more about those in the coming months).
These, with a bunch of prints, and postcards are making their way to Malaysia to be part of some ‘artists lucky dip’ PikaPackages at Pikaland.
How long has it been since you’ve had a lucky dip prize? All good fun!
The items I mentioned were made exclusively for these packages. But once that’s finished I’ll be making some for everyone else 🙂
What happens when you mix a handful of charity, a couple of tigers, and a pinch of Valentines day?
You get February!
For the second year in a row the Lovely Hearts exhibition was on in America, raising funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. TigerHug was my contribution this year. Unfortunately the Winter snow was so heavy in New Hampshire that the opening night had to be called off, so sales were down compared to last year but hopefully as the weather brightens up there’ll be more visitors and some healthy funds raised.
Another fun charity event that centred around Valentines Day was the “I Heart Mirabel” show held at Meet Me At Mikes in Fitzroy, Melbourne. I made a small bunch of retro jungle hearts that was displayed in their front window among loads of others. Each donated heart will be for sale from the 8th March for $10, and all profits will go towards the Mirabel Foundation (children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental drug use).
I also finished a tiger in a tea cup for a commissioned illustration for two little boys who, I’m told, love animals. I hope they like tigers. (To view visit the Gallery section of this site).
