Sketch for Ukulele Exhibition

This is a sketch I've done for the 'Pimp my MUF' exhibition for the Melbourne Ukulele Festival. I have my Ukulele and have started painting it so I'll show later you how I got on.

My new Alice books

I love Alice in Wonderland and I collect all things Alice, but books are my favourite. The other day I made it to 100 books which I was very excited about. I found these three in Warrandyte Book Shop and the OP shop. After carefully sorting through all the books, well actually I rummaged on the floor, I found these lovely and unique versions.

This is my favourite, so delicate and beautiful line work

This book had Sir John Tenniel's images inside

While I have a few Disney versions of Alice, this book belonged to a very creative child and was full of surprises with many doodles that made me laugh

Normally I would think it a shame to wreck a book like this, but how many people will have this bearded Alice in their collection? I think Alice can pull if off!

The Silk Cut Award

The Silk Cut Award in Melbourne is now an annual event, and last year I started the day before and did a very rushed job. So this year I am starting to look for ideas now!

Here's what I did last year, I'd love some feedback!

Photography Ehibition

So I have now had my first photography exhibition!

I am really happy with how it went, and it's such a relief that it has all come 

together and been successful. 

New North Gallery is next to a lovely coffee shop, the Bean Counter, which was round the corner from where I use to study. It was really fun to be apart of an exhibtion that did all the organising so I could focus more on my work. 

I am constantly taking photos so I thought why not exhibit photo's as well as my illustrations.

So when I got an email about this exhibition with the theme Water Element,  I thought Perfect! 
I love the water, I am a swim teacher part time, and my photos are of water 80% of the time. The exhibition is on until the 26th of Febuary, so check it out if your around melbourne.
