Blast off!

Tonight was opening night for Across the Universe and Back Again - and I'm glad to say I had a blast (there's a groanworthy pun if I've ever seen one).

The show's still on until 21 October, so if you're in Melbourne, pop in and take a peek:

No Vacancy Gallery
27-33 Red Cape Lane (in the QV Building near Max Brenner Chocolates - mmmm)

And if you can't get there, here are the pics.

It was a fun night and a really fantastic experience. I can't wait to do it again!

Almost done

Amazingly, it seems to be under control.

I bought frames this evening and am furiously - ahem, I mean carefully and elegantly - framing my art for next week.

Here's the latest piece for the show. She's still untitled, so I'll have to think fast over the weekend.



I'd JUST finished her off (at work) and was getting a photocopy for my moleskine/mini art folio when my boss walked in on me....and bought her!

As stoked as I was, there was a moment of blind panic when I thought I'd have to put together a replacement piece overnight. Instead I'll put her in as planned and just have her priced as 'sold'.

Too tired to draw any more. Must watch Project Runway and go to bed.

Across the Universe and Back Again

I'm excitedly preparing for my first ten-man (well, ten-woman) art show.

It will be held from the 13th to the 21st of October (with the opening night bash on Wednesday, the 15th) at No Vacancy Gallery in the city.

It's an all girl show, featuring some of Australia's best talent including Kelly Smith and Bec Winnel (who have both been featured in Curvy magazine and plenty of other publications), Nicole Tattersall (who I know through 696), Honor Bowman (a fellow Etsy shop owner) plus another five great Aussie artists.





If you're in Melbourne on opening night, I'd love to see you there. (And if you don't know me personally, please, please introduce yourself to me - I'd love to meet you).

It should be a blast!
