Made on the left Markets

Have recently been involved with a craft market called "made on the left" with my trusty partner in crime Melissa. We had about 5- 6weeks to plan everything, suss out what we wanted to sell etc.

I decided to sell some prints. Framed and unframed. I also dabbled in some crafts, made my own coasters, decorated them with some photography and drawings of my own. Sold some other bits and bobs. The weather was crazy on the day. Very windy and rainy and stormy, luckily everything was indoors and the public still rocked up.
My coasters went off like a frog in a sock! Sold them all! I must say I was rather chuffed.

I always love the feedback you get from people, some are really interested in what you do and how you create your stuff. Loved yapping on about things with ze public.

Here are some photos of the day, our stall setup and some of the little trinkets I sold.

Magnets!

 Coasters!

All in all a great day!

Halloween is in the air

I've started to see crazy things. Skeleton gloves on display in Woolworths for $2.00, dancing pumpkins singing "moves like jagger", budget lollies with questionable content but HEY they're shaped as brains & limbs so why not.
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR. Where our little country embraces quite the American holiday, and we do it kind of OK.
Kid's will knock at my door and I'll hand them an apple.
House parties will be organised, any excuse to dress up as a complete goof and get "MuNted"
... and I can finally chuck eggs at some neighbours I be hatin' on and get away with it. Win.

So HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERAY BODAY. Hope it's a gruesome one

Skull fixxx

Was feeling 'Day of the dead' vibes today. So I drew this little number to get it out of my system. Really enjoyed drawing this, and am rather chuffed with the outcome!

\m/ !SKULLZ RULE! \m/

Busy days as of late.

But I don't want to be a slack person! So I thought I'd chuck up a few things that I've "doodled" (heh). 

All pretty half baked in terms of completion but hey! That's the way I roll at the moment. Not that I'm proud of that, but at least I'm drawing!

Will hopefully be doing some more markets in a few months time. So if that all goes smoothly I'm sure I'll have finished pieces to flaunt. Aww yeeeii.

Happy Birthday Bro. You the Coolest!

This link gives me some piece of mind. 

When I was a young lass I admired my brothers ability to draw. He'd create these detailed drawings of army men and assassins fighting each other on battles ships. You could stare at them for aggges and still discover new little 'scenarios' occurring between the characters he'd drawn. 

Sooo as young sister who admired their brothers actions... I decided to take my own spin on his ideas. Make them my own.
At the age of 7 I would draw these massive monsters vs human massacres. Creatures would be fighting for their lives, squashing people under their feat and so on. Filled with detailed blood splatters and made up weaponry.
Sure enough I came home one day and my parents told me I needed to stop drawing these disturbing images in class time.

I was pretty embarrassed, I tried to draw another one in class after the fact but my teacher caught me. I was buuusteeed.

I really wish I had a copy of those drawings.
I enjoy the humour in it all. Being seven just wanting to draw COOL things like my COOL brother, only to realise that drawing them in a catholic school environment.. probably not so wise.

Still keen to recreate a kick as Monster Vs Human drawing soon. I shall dedicate it to my brother! 
Happy Birthday bro!

Just some thang

This is the latest poster I did for my cousin Jacob. He's doing another ep launch! Because he's just too darn good!

Recently did some artwork for my cousin Jacob Diamond.

He released his debut ep! So I designed the album and also a gig poster for the talented young man.

And if you're keen to hear the sound that this dude makes

kickstART markets

Saturday was the day! Melissa and I rocked the markets with amazing stuff and things!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the day, and loved talking to all sorts of different people about design and such.

It's given me a boost of confidence in a way. Having complete strangers come up and say something as simple as "that's so cool!" made me feel all warm and fuzzy! Heh


IN COLUSION! It was a very good day, and I hope to do more markets in the future. Twas very rewarding 


 Took a few happy snaps on the day that I shall now share :)

Here's our stall set up..

 The Image immediately above and below are items that my friend Melissa sold on the day. She went really well. Her greeting cards went off like a frog in a sock! Love her illustrations 

Annd below are some shot's of my stuff. Wallets and prints both sold really well, along with my original ink house drawings 

And I made profit! WIN

Markets

My friend mel and my fine self, got accepted to participate in a youth festival market!
Yay.
We applied and hoped for the best. The best happened.
This will be the first time i've done anything like this, pretty excited. My mind keeps ticking over with ideas. What to seelll how to sell it. Packaging. Making things look sexy n shit!

Yeah. Should be an interesting experience. Hopefully a successful one at that.

I'm going to make my own colouring book. Hellah keen on that idea. Something i've wanted to do for a while so thought i'd try it out now. Seems fitting. Youth, colouring, childhood memories come flooding back.

I'm going to print it all from home which means double sided printing... which leads to brain explosions.
Was testing it out last night... lord. I think it's my poor simple mind. I just can't seem to get things right the first time. ever. 
Rather than figure it out before printing I printed to figure it out. yep. Trial and error....
Was very much error, error, trial, success, error. But after an unhealthy amount of time I managed to get a mockup sorted. yeaaah... winnerrr.
So I'm sure you'll hear more about this sooon. 

One page from my colouring bewwk. Just black and white for all your colouring needs

That's my name don't wear it out! Logo, a working progress.

Drawings

During the plane trips to and from melbourne, I thought I'd get all productive on my own ass. AND I DID. AND HERE WE ARE
I chucked the sketches into photoshop and had a stupid play around. myeeeeis.
We have a tug boat and some books!

Melbourne Trip!

Always love a Melbourne getaway

Just spent the long weekend over there with the male friend I like heaps. Was goood timess. We escaped the heat wave of Perth! ... almost..kinda.. not really.

We did sooo much walking my shins hurt (such an unfit human)... and a lot of eating and drinking to counteract the healthy walks :)

So here are a few snaps of the trip. Mainly buildings and some kick ass art that I found on the walls.

old buildings make me happpyyy.
