I am in Auckland for a wedding, sleeping on a couch. I kind of like this whole living out of a suitcase thing, actually. I've been travellin around a fair bit lately, at least within NewZealand. Next week however is settle-down time, finding a flat, finding a day-to-day job. Yuck. I wish i could live off my artings, but even though everything is going swell right now i'm worried it'll collapse. Also too much time by myself makes me a little crazy.

Sarah McNeil and i are having a show at Bats theatre this month. I think stuff will be up around the 7th, but we are having a fancy opening later on when Sarah and I are both in town. There will be more stuff on the walls then too. Also alcohol and good music. I am excited! making friends with Sarah has been so lovely.

psst i have started a new moleskin which is a psuedo comic diary. perhaps i will upload snippets soon instead of my horrid writing.

Craft Market

This Saturday (the 19th) Sarah McNeil ( http://www.sarahmcneil.blogspot.com/ ) and i will have a table At the Mighty Mighty christmas market. It should be a fun day - we have been making totes and little bags and notebooks and badges. Sarah has been great and doing lots of sewing. Sarah has more/better information on her blog, and also a photo of some of the totes. They are hand drawn! so each in unique and one off.

If you are in Wellingon, please come! There will be cupcakes.

scouts honor

i am so pleased that i've actually managed to do some painting in Wellington. Usually i have to be so settled and nested..but sitting on an uncomfortable 3rd hand couch watching a 3 inch tv with a table made of cardboard and books, i have actually done some of my favourite paintings from this year.

I received my government grant a week or two ago, and have been shopping like mad. It would have been more fun if i hadn't had to supply itemised quotes a month ago, but its still nice to have a truckload of new stuff. Well, new art stuff. Which is really all i spend my money on anyway!

I got some christmas/birthday/just because cards printed, and they'll be up on etsy soon soon soon, and hopefully they give my totally dead etsy store a bit of a kick re-start.

On another note, i am super broke but am mostly moved to Wellington. It is a whole lot cooler than my old city, but i am not very cool so i'm not sure how i fit in. Art seems to sell a lot better here though. I am in a little group show at the nicest gallery here, called Solander. I had sent up two works a few weeks ago and somehow they sold before even being displayed! So i had to take in more. They took four this time! which is neat as the limit for the actual exhibition is two. Hopefully they take this as a good sign and let me exhibit solo at some stage.

I am living out of a suitcase at the moment, which is a bit tricky. I am living like a squatter without the plus of not actually paying rent. It's much more expensive to live up here, so a lame part-time job is going to have to me got by me.

I have a ton of art to upload, but im borrowing my boyfriends computer and he is shooting things on it most of the time so it might be a while before i can actually scan things.
