Months and months. I have been intending some sort of update for a long time but so much has been happening it's hard to make a start. Let's just bullet-point this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I moved. You maybe knew this was about to happen. I am back in Dunedin - where i grew up. I have been fighting thinking this was a step backwards - it is not. It is good. Hard, but good.</li>
<li>I started working as an apprentice tattooist. Dream job achieved. Also very hard but also very good. I'm tattooing the public now and it's a lot of hard work but.. good. yes.</li>
<li>I got a puppy. My childhood dream! His name is Rigby and he is tiny and ridiculous and very very cute.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>I bought a house. This is nuts and I still don't know how i managed to do this. Working two jobs in Wellington helped me save a lot, and real estate in Dunedin is much cheaper than most other places. It does mean i'm now pretty broke all the time, but it's worth it to have my own little space.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>My partner and I seperated. This was a big one.. I won't go into details. I think it was the right thing for both of us, but it's still been pretty shattering. 7 years with someone is a long time, especially when that was your entire 20's. I haven't figured out how to socially interact in a romantic way with people yet, so i've been spending a lot of quiet time alone listening to records and reading comics. It's probably good for me even if it's hard.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway... new life. Everything is new, change is scary but I know it'll work out soon. More updates to follow, including some photos of the tattoos i've been doing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey guys I am moving cities in just over a month, so need
to close my etsy shop so i can get prepared and pack and organise my
life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’ll be open for one more week and until then you can get 15% off your order with the coupon code: HOMEWARD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This doesn’t include patches, but does include everything else! Even originals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m not sure how long it will take me to get up and running once i’m
in my new town, so it could be a little while before you can buy prints
and things off me. I will probably leave up little things like postcards
and patches, because i can pack them and post them without taking up
too much room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And in case you were wondering, I am moving because I’ve been offered
a tattoo apprenticeship in another city! so will be running off to live
my dreams and draw every day. This is super amazing exciting. </div>

Things have been a bit manic the last month, I took two weeks off to visit my family, which involved minimal internet use (my own decision) and then since I've been back I've been catching up on work at my day job. Somehow many little jobs were ignored while i was away so it's been work + sleep the last few weeks. I've been doing some serious re-thinking of my career moves and things are moving in a positive direction. I may have some very exciting news in the next few weeks but i don't want to jinx it by jumping the gun and making any announcements just yet.. </div>

I've listed them all individually rather then sets as i normally do, so you can pick and choose a bit more. Did you notice my gorgeous new fountain pen making an appearance? It was a birthday gift from my partner, I'm really enjoying doing more writing and having a lovely pen makes it much more special. </div>

I've started work on some larger pencil drawings and have been really enjoying it.. i forget sometimes that things don't have to be painted in order to be finished. My scanner is still out of action (or rather my computer) so still no scanned finished works..Devonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17277493152785262244noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179928373275764918.post-42583821792231200282013-02-20T15:27:00.000-08:002013-02-20T15:32:56.429-08:00New ZineI actually finished this some months ago, in time for Wellington zinefest.

I made this little time-lapse of me drawing because I really like watching other people drawing. It was longer but I just made it on my little phone which decided to go to sleep and cut off the end.<br />
<br />
My big computer, which is attached to my scanner, is suffering through death-throes right now which means i can't scan anything. Yes, i could plug my scanner into my laptop but i can never edit paintings properly on here so I don't think it's worth bothering. But i promise i have been painting and someday soon things will be scanned.Devonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17277493152785262244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179928373275764918.post-45240483816671124252013-01-14T17:10:00.001-08:002013-01-14T17:10:43.394-08:00Sketchbook Sunday (at last!)My excuse for not blogging is that it's been the Holidays. Actually i only got a few days off but, you know, laziness is in the air. I got to spend Christmas with my family in Dunedin but I was straight back to work for New Years. Luckily i'm not much of a party animal so it wasn't a huge loss.<br />
<br />
I have been drawing a lot, despite this bout of laziness, so i have plenty to show from my sketchbook. Very little finished work, but that's not what sketchbooks are about anyway. <br />

It's been a pretty good drawing week, probably because i'm so busy and have actual work i should be doing. I'm off to Dunedin to visit my parents next week, which i am so happy about. Feeling very over-worked and wrung out lately.</div>

I've come back a bit more clear headed so I've actually been managing to draw again. My lovely friend <a href="http://www.eviekemp.com/">Evie</a> let me stay with her and her nice boyfriend and their nice pets (two pups! and Eddie the cat). I kind of went up for a market but it was a bit of a flop so i was really just there to drink milkshakes and eat dumplings and do fun silly crafts with a group of nice ladies.<br />

Fox and Poppies.<br />
<i>Gouache on paper</i><br />
<br />
A big, different painting. This is all thick, dry brushed gouache rather than the usual washes of watercolour i do. It takes much longer to paint but i think i like the end result better. I am thinking of printing this as a big silk scarf rather than my usual giclee print. What do you think?<br />
<br />
<i> </i>Things have been a little difficult lately. It is hard to put into words, and probably i am terrible at talking about anything serious. I just sent out a pile of portfolios and i'm really hoping this leads somewhere. Moving away, a new home, a new job. I haven't drawn for a few days because i am too stressed out.

My brain is stuck in Halloween mode. All i've been drawing lately is witches and ghosts and black cats and general spookiness. My sketchbook has been neglected this week due to having several big projects to finish and work being a bit nuts. If you didn't know, i work at an art gallery and our new season opened on Friday. This meant a big party for some people and a lot of work for others. For once there's an exhibition I'm enthusiastic about. Lovely spooky atmospheric photography from Ben Cauchi. It's pretty dreamy and i pretty much always love any art that takes a lot of time and effort to produce. My pal Campbell Kneale also has a great immersive installation work up (or i should really say my friend's partner. I don't actually know Campbell all that well but it made me sound cooler to say he was my friend)</div>

Wocolate, one of my favourite online shops, just launched their super cool new blog, and did the nicest interview with me. You can read it <a href="http://wocolate.co.nz/blog/devon-smith/">here</a>. They came up with the best questions. I got to talk about science fiction and tell dumb childhood stories so it was actually enjoyable to answer. </div>

Another nice thing is my new website is finally up. It is still <a href="http://devonsmith.co.nz/">devonsmith.co.nz</a> but now it is clean and simple and easy for me to update so i won't just ignore it for months. </div>

This little bird is a design for a tattoo i'm getting this month. A friend from Dunedin is travelling up to do a guest spot at a local tattoo studio so i'm getting her to add this little guy onto my already bird-covered arm. Getting tattooed by friends is always more fun, we just spend the whole time chatting and it never gets too harrowing. It's going very near my elbow and I'm sure i'll turn into a total wuss closer to the day but right now i'm feeling very brave.

Maybe you have noticed that all these pictures look like they have been through Instagram. That is because they have. I post lots of working photos there because it is instantaneous and I am kind of lazy about scanning. My name is devonannasmith if you would like to follow me.</div>

You probably already know I love science fiction so maybe it is not much of a surprise that I love the X-files. Aliens have always been my biggest fear in the world (leaving the light on every night level of fear) so i used to hate the show so much. My brother liked it to the extent that he had all the trading cards and VHS tapes. I never watched it and it still gave me nightmares. I'll admit that i still get scared of the more alien-based episodes and maybe i can only watch them during the day...</div>

I might paint Mulder later, but he is so handsome it might be too much of a challenge. </div>

Sometimes it is nice to just do a drawing and not worry about making a
painting or having a title or doing anything except being self indulgent
and drawing what you want. Which is always girls with nice butts and
tiny flowers and gothy tattoos. There are a lot of faults with this drawing but i don't care because i enjoyed drawing it.Devonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17277493152785262244noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179928373275764918.post-38383878209039206272012-09-22T20:24:00.000-07:002012-09-22T20:24:54.166-07:00Sketchbook Sunday <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just a little post this week. My sketchbook has been neglected, as has painting. Too much work and not enough time. When will a way to cut out sleep be invented? But only for me and a few special others because otherwise we'll just be expected to work even more. </div>

This week my sketchbook is looking a little neglected so i thought I'd show off a big painting I'm currently working on. I'm trying out some different painting etchniques and it's been challenging but fun. More painterly and with thick gouache rather than watercolour washes. </div>

The very last picture is a portrait of Scully from X-files that I've been working on for a while. It is mostly finished now. </div>

It is storming like mad today, I had big plans but now I don't want to leave the house. I finished this little lady off curled on the couch with my cat for company, instead.

This is the little set I designed, you can buy them <a href="http://stayhomeclub.com/collections/bedding/products/devon-smith-pillow-cases-north-and-south">here </a>as a set of two, or individually. </div>

More twins, would you beleive? I've been experimenting with some new paper the last few weeks, this grey stuff I planned to just sketch on but as it turns out it's terrible to draw on, but dreamy to paint on. Watercolours aren't opaque enough for it so this is all gouache and coloured pencil. This was my third attempt at this, as the first two times i rubbed out the underdrawing too much and the paper completely disintegrated. It's also pretty hard to scan, so the colours don't look quite right here...<br />
<br />
This week i've stopped eating wheat and dairy. Wheat for just a little bit... i like bread too much to stop for real. I get stomach aches a lot, and i've always put it down to anxiety but i figured it was worth experimenting with diet and seeing if that works. I sort-of gave up dairy ages ago, but lately that damn cheese has been creeping back in (..to my mouth ) so I'm putting a flat stop to it. Dairy does not agree with me. Anyway i'll see how my guts feel in a week or two or three.<br />
