Sketchbook Project 2012... Work in Progress
What a busy year it’s been. I just realised my last journal was what… 6 months ago? That can’t be right!
Well, the good news is I’ve finally finished my Sketchbook project 2012 last week and it is on its way to join the Sketchbook Tour. :)
It’s a long weekend in Wellington. Was hoping for bit more sun so I can finish building that shed of mine, etc. etc. So far I…
Sketchbook Project 2011 finally in digital library
Arthouse Co-op finally digitized my sketchbook project 2011 . Yay! Happy it’s finally online but still waiting for them to fix a few pages that’re missing. Oh well…. anyway, I think the scan quality is pretty good. :) So no complains. Have just ordered the 2012 sketchbook. Can’t wait to start on something new.
The 2012 theme I’ve chosen is ‘I remember you’…
Work in progress ... free MOO samples
I’m really excited about this one! Hehe… I don’t even know how the finished work willl turn out yet. At the moment it’s untidy, it’s messy, it’s my ‘dirty laundry’ really.
But I want to share it right now. I don’t know why I’m so excited but I’m thinking this might be the one. I think I want to paint this on canvas! It’s bee…
Behind the scene...
It started out with a previous post-it sketch. I’m very fond of this drawing even though its TINY. The pockets in her hair captured the grass in the background. It’s fascinating… how it frames it like little stories. If you pop them… ?
The stories in my mind… remembering my childhood memories. It’s beginning to get blurry as I become older, slipping through m…

Cards of yumminess to last me for the year and one of Randi’s on the extreme bottom left :) Gorgeous quality cards I must say, and also thanks for sharing your beautiful work Randi!
It's alright. Just put on an extra coat - ORIGINAL ART SALE
My current collection themed “It’s alright. Just put on an extra coat” is an introspective view into my childhood memories of early morning chills, nightmares, and the comforting thought that an extra coat and good scarf will keep me warm, away from harm. I hold on to these thoughts as an adult, naive as they seem, for they give me courage and remind me that the sun will rise, and things will be …

So nice of Kawaiipunk.com to blog about some of my drawings. It’s awhile back in March 2011 but I just found out and am so very thrilled! They even did a collection image. Very professional I must say. Really appreciated the time and effort that’s gone into it. THANKS SWEET MASCOT!
Rejection and failure....
I just received a rejection letter for the NZ Art Show this year. Looks like I didn’t make the cut.
:( Ouch
Don’t know if I should still continue with this year’s collection? Sigh… I’ve done about 6 small pieces so far…what to do what to do?
Maybe I’ll just tidy up the ones I’ve done and upload them here and call it a day.
I know I know…. just…
