Hi all, missed me??

I’ve been super busy, working on a themed collection of drawn works on paper for this Friday’s exhibition at Brunswick Street Gallery: ‘Drawn’.
Here are a few sneak peaks:

Bit of a new technique using patterned origami and rice papers and some creative masking :)

Some more works and information I’ve uploaded to my blog, have a look here.

Here’s the flyer:

See you there!

PS: I’m no longer uploading new works to Red Bubble, until they fix the horror that is their default system of ordering works in our galleries by popularity (seethes). All the new work is on my blog or my brand new website.

This whole series is stunning, all really powerful pieces. I love that together they form a fantastic series, but are all equally awesome on their own. Really impressive work :-)
Firedrake:

Thanks! Happy with how my plan came together :)

Paul Compton

Oh wow! They look AMAZING!!! I agree about the problem with the new default system – good on you! I look forward to seeing the show :)
Firedrake:

I used the nibs from your place on the ones with the patterned texture underneath (the last 3 above)…the nibs have just the right amount of bend :)
Anita Inverarity

WOW- Absolutely stunning- I loooooooooooove the japanese twist so much !!
Firedrake:

Thanks Anita :)
Larry Butterworth

Cheers Larry :)
Keith Reesor

Love them ALL Kaitlin!! They are supposed to be coming out with a way to categorize your works and determine placement within your gallery more efficiently!! See coming soon :)
Firedrake:

That sounds promising…I do hope this also means we get to choose the default view of our folios. And that they do away with the arbitrary square thumbnail (which is so so horrible for people who don’t paint on square canvases)!
Jenny Hall

Oh these are fantastic Kaitlin (you know I’m a sucker for anything Japanese-inspired).
Firedrake:

Thanks! I hope to make it back there again this year :)
katie quinn
