As some of you may have noticed, i have been missing from the internet for a few weeks now. This is because the boy in my life got a job at Weta (!!!) and moved cities (not so great) and i have been visiting with him for the past while. I have lots of new things to show everybody, paintings, drawings, silly purchases. So when i get home next week expect lots of regular blog updating!
I just added this little lady to my Etsy store ( http://www.deerface.etsy.com ) and still have a few prints available too. I will be making regular updates there, too, of very affordable originals ( less than a third of my regular gallery prices) since i will be moving soon and need to clear out some art!
My website is also now up and (sort of) running. Most of the links don't work, and the gallery isn't set up properly, but you can still view all my pictures there. My web assistant ( or.. my nice friend Rob who is helping me in exchange for cupcakes) is away exploring japan for a month so it won't be fixed for a while. Visit it anyway and let me know if anyone has any suggestions of anything else i should add to it. Http://www.devonsmith.co.nz

Updates.
I have just added a couple of things to my etsy store, including this dear little fawn. I love this painting but i'm moving cities soon and can't take all my art with me, so everything is being sold off slowly. http://www.deerface.etsy.com
My website is now online, although not entirely finished - most of the links don't work, but the gallery does, which is most important.

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
