Sarah came over on friday and we played with my brand new Gocco printer. It was lucky she was here because the whole thing scared me a little. But it was fun! and easy! and look, prints! I'll only print 50 of these, and they are up on etsy now for super cheap. The ink is very pretty and grey. Also i just realised i forgot to mention the size on their etsy page.. oh well!
I have a million of these tiny super cute frames for 4x6" prints, so i may sell some framed if people are interested.

I have been so busy since i got back from Auckland! I now have a job, well, two jobs. One an ordinary retail job, and one working in the Wellington City Gallery which is great and fun and all that. It means less time for drawing, but having some more regular money coming in is very nice.

Mine and Sarah McNeils show is still running at Bats, we will be having a closing party sometime next week or the week after, which i will post about when a date/time is settled.

Been working on a cover illustration for a lovely magazine.. will also post about that when it is out. It's very exciting and im pleased with the painting so far.

I bought myself a Gocco printer and gosh its so much fun. My first print is just a bit of fun, and in a very small edition, and will be up on etsy soon.

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.
