New Exhibition
I have a new exhibition opening in the next few days. The paintings are already up, but we haven't had the formal opening yet. It's all brand new stuff that i've done in the last couple of months so i'm still really pleased and love it all.
"a Box of Birds" Various new works by Devon Smith.
At Stir on George street. Open 10-5 daily.
Please have a look if you can, the framing turned out so wonderful and this is my first formal solo show. The owner Steph is a lovely lady who helped me with organising everything and sells lots of delightful things in the rest of the store.

The End!
I have graduated! The ceremony was very boring, and the parade was rained out, but it was enjoyable all the same. My gown and mortar board looked hideous, as my school decided that navy blue, pink, and yellow were a good combination.
To my surprise i won the peoples choice award! i was so stunned and thrilled at the time all i could do was squeak. This award was voted in by the public, so it's a pretty great thing to win.
I sold two of my paintings at the SITE exhibition, then a woman from a local gallery took another 6 away to put in her christmas show. I'm currently exhibiting with such fantastic artists as Sam Foley and two of my old tutors from art school Olau neilson and Steeve Peryoux. Very exciting! I also sold a couple of little drawings and a big older painting. All this money coming in is just fantastic, perhaps a career as an artist isn't quite so far fetched as i imagined.
Another lovely surprise was my big brother coming down for graduation, and my parents congratulating me by buying me a swell new digital SLR camera ( a Canon eos 1000 to be precise) so i shall be documenting my work a whole lot better as of today.
Internet isn't up at my house yet, so blog updates will be few and far between for a little while longer xoxoxox

Kisses
My work is all installed and ready for my final exhibition, which starts tomorrow! Try and make it if you can, theres some really interesting stuff, plus i'm working there and will be bored and lonesome.
I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out. It's exciting to have to join the real world and be a real adult. My fingers are crossed for an emerging artist place at COCA (centre of contemporary art) which i have applied for and got a STUNNING reference from one of my tutors (so stunning in fact i believe i teared up a little.. basically said i was a wonderful brilliant talented artists.. he was very sweet)
I'll be away from the internet for a while, until i get it organised at my home, but when i'm back, all my journals will be flooded with art and entries as i'll be a working artist and having nothing better to do then 'research' on the internet! xoxoxoxoxoxox

let yourself go hungry
I ended up doing about ten more paintings for my final show. Now i have about 28, and can only afford to frame 14. Tough decisions now have to be made! This is a definite, and is one of my favourites.
I officially join the real/working world in a month. This is exciting/scary. I will be sending a bunch of mini portfolios out to different magazines, so if anyone has any suggestions/addresses, i'd greatly appreciate it!
