So now presenting Midori Furze!!! ....................................................................................................................................................... How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspect of your life? I carry a timer set up as an alarm clock. / When I am in the mode of creativity I often forget the time, so I set the timer for whenever my next important time will be e.g. picking up children, start cooking dinner or phone call someone. / When the bell goes, I switch myself and remember where I am and do what I’m suppose to do so I can manage my days on this planet. / I also have a diary which tells me what I must do on that day. / If the diary has a blank space, I smile and go straight to my studio and stay there all day but these days I always have something on it. : ((( / I am lucky to have a husband who accepts me as I am. I hope he does. / He might believe that it’s normal because I am Japanese. Hehehe… / By the way I thought he was a bit different from others but I liked him as he is and I thought “Well… he is an unusual guy. I guess because he is an Australian!!” After we moved to Australia I realised he IS a unique, even from others in Australia. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful I am a great fan of Karin Taylor and Frozenfa. I know many wonderful people on Red Bubble and I love them too, but Karin and fa are soooooooooooooo special to me. / They are special to many people on RB and I am proud I know them too. / Oh, it has to be one person? / OK then, that will be TIM ( the Twisted Inner Monster is a Frozenfa’s creation). / I know he isn’t really a person, but I think he is close enough. / He makes me smile. / He makes me laugh. / Hug~! Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you I have been on RB for 6 months, and I have met a lot of wonderful people and seen great artworks. It is very difficult to choose only 5 works. Can I put 50? No? Oh, it is soooooooooooooo tough!! OK, here it is… / The Band! by Ellen / Ron Carter 02 by Jean M. Laffita / Shoreline by kafka / Dead Friends 5 by John Douglas / Imaginary Life 2007 by Paul Ruiz If you see their works, you will understand why I choose them!! / I’m also inspired by these lovely people and their works, – hahpistuff, Ken Mucke, Tine Wiggens, yanmos, Matt Tworkowski, vladstudio, girlinthestars, Cailean, Ronald wigman and of course Karin Taylor and Frozenfa.

  Hey everyone!! The wonderfully creative Jo O’Brien has just begun a chain of interviews to bring all of us closer to some of our favorite artists!! The first ball was given to MuscularTeeth who interviewed the famous Karin Taylor and Butchart. Karin then proceed to interview me and Mui-Ling !! What an honor!! Yay!! And so yesterday i’ve managed to interview Midori Furze!! am so so thankful that she’s willing to take the time to answer. Please do read her interview here!! =D Now presenting one of my favorite artist on RB, BarbBarcikKeith!!! / / ......................................................................................................................................................... My Creativity How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? You know, the first thing that popped into my head with this question is “don’t clean the house very much”!! I do what I have to do only.. nothing extra. The house still manages to get clean (with only 2 of us here, it’s not that hard!) though. / Actually, I don’t get out much. I have deadlines and things that I have to get done so I’m at the drawing board as often as possible. I do take breaks because my hands won’t allow me to stay at it as long as I would like to. BUT.. I am married to a man that does the wash.. cooks the meals.. does the shopping and even runs the vacuum every once in a while and THAT really helps a lot. He does hate my headphones though… Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful One person??? You must be mad! I’ve been on RB for about 8 months now and I don’t think I’ve ever met a more caring, considerate or complimentary group of people in my life! The encouragement is wonderful and the camaraderie and extremely helpful. I’ve recommended the Bubble to other artists on other sites as well and the ones that have actually joined have found it a lot like home… Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you / In no particular order: / The Letter by Roz McQuillan touched me with the way the painting is done just enough to let you know that something important is happening. Love the way she did it.. and find it inspiring in many ways. / Temptress by Lindseyh blew my mind the first time I saw it! I thought the execution exceptional but the idea of it all was just too cool.. (you sure I can only have five?) / Then there is Falcon Studies by eric shepherd is simply PERFECT! I love the way he put all if it together.. the colors, the background.. everything about it is inspiring.. / I Drew Drew by alleycatsgarden which is really superb pencil work and has given me a lot of ideas for future works. / Ruffled Gold by John Houle shows what you can do with a simple pencil. The way he did the feathers.. mind-blowing!! Now, I would like to mention some others that have equally inspired and awed me: Brian Towers, Carlos Solorza, Terry Dunnett, Matthew Thornburg, L.K. Southward, Randy Jones, Bec Winnel and I could go on forever but there’s only so much space. / Numerous artists, photographers have made a difference either in me or in my art. This is a great place to be!! / ......................................................................................................................................................... Thank you so so much, Barb!! Thank you for the honor. i really love your works! i’m especially touched by how you’re helping the Noah’s Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary.. and i really find you an inspiration because of how you can create such magical piece even with all the pain in your hands. it’s really encouraging. i believe anyone who’ve had RSI or is having one will be amazed to see how strong you are. Everyone, please do check out her wonderful drawings!! And do check out her shots and drawings of some of the Big Cats saved by Noah Ark, they’ll sure to blow you away !! So sorry i can only interview 2 person.. i have so many fav artist here on RB and i can only interview 2?! waaaa… T_T i can’t wait to read the interviews of the rest of you!! I think Jo will be coming up with some forum to gather all the wonderful interviews together. that’d be awesome eh? Love you all!!! (= ^ . ^ =)

  “Cosmopolitan, Baileys or Midori?” FORGET STRIVES – CELEBRATE LIFE / Are we on the brink of another great depression? If so how do we cope? We do what folks in the roaring 20’s did. We live in the moment. We celebrate life with our friends. We dance, we laugh, we have a cocktail and immerse ourselves in culture. There is a place we can enjoy all of these things. In the heart of the city three international artists mix a cocktail of sweet, spicy and musical treats with paintings looking at the lighter side of life. “Celebrating the music that heals us”- Midori Furze . “Inspired by the pinups of Gil Elvgren and the Goth’s and Lollita’s of Japan and using humour to tell stories of the craziness that is life.”- Laurie McKern . “Capturing the mood of another era, where times where hard, but life was lived to the fullest”- Petra Pinn . / This is your invitation to leave your worries at the door and visit the long awaited exhibition of these diverse female artists originally from Japan, Canada and Germany who have come together sharing a vision to open people’s eyes to the beauty in life. Come and view delights such as- Meat Pie , She Married the Eiffel Tower , and Don’t Call Me Sushi! / Meet the artists at the opening: Monday May 25, 6:30pm to 8:30pm of “Cosmopolitan, Baileys or Midori?” Proudly presented at the Arthouse Hotel, 275 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000. The exhibition will run from May 25 to June 20. / The Arthouse Hotel has a rich history integral to the colonial past of Sydney. Originally designed in 1830, it was one of the first place the public could receive an education. In 1999, a team of designers and architects transformed it into a functional and splendorous space. The building still maintains its 19 century characteristics.
