Art Fairs of Weekends Past

The first fair of the season, Cambridge Arts Festival. As you can see I still have my borrowed, small green tent. It still did the trick though.

This one is from Elora. Not a great venue for me. But I got to use my snazzy new tent!

New Jewelry!

Some anatomy inspired pendants of mine, ready to be sold at an art kiosk in dowtown Guelph's Old Quebec St. Mall. I'll also have some cards and magnets for sale.

Fun With Pierre

I'm having urges to do some greeting cards, so I thought I'd experiment with some old drawings and try to give them a fresh twist. This is Pierre, complete with punchy colours, sexy pelvis, and treasure trail. Wouldn't you like him on your greeting card?

Tomory Dodge

Lately I've totally been digging abstract paintings. I just want to eat them up! This fellow's work is pretty yummy I think. Check out more of his work here.

Blondie

The journey to new hair has begun. I thought I'd document it because it's not unlike an art project is it? My goal is to get my hair pretty light and highlight it with lavender and possibly baby blue. These photos are after two bleachings and a toner. It's decent, but I'm going to bleach it one more time to go for platinum blonde. I'll be giving my hair a break for a week or so, and a dousing of olive oil!

Kawasaki Wow

I finally remembered to check out what Audrey Kawasaki has been up to lately, and goodness gracious she has been busy. I think one of the more innovative things she's done are these laser cut pieces shown below. What an awesome idea! I've posted a gazillion other paintings of hers on my flickr page, or you can visit her website here.

Hoot Hoot

Yes, owls have been done ad nauseum, but have you seen one being abducted before? This is a block printed hoodie I made for my brother.

More Jewelry Fun

I tried my hand at a couple new jewelry techniques... a collagey decoupagey type pendant, and a sort of bead cluster necklace. I'll tell you one thing, I don't think I could've done it without my tiny fingers!

GaGa Sketches

I have an assignment right now to make two illustrations with the theme "Before and After". My first choice would be to carry through with these two sketches of Lady GaGa before and after, but I have a feeling my instructor, (Gary Taxali), will shoot it down like a lame duck.

They still need a lot of work, but I'm getting close to her likeness I think:

For the Birds

A simple graphic piece I whipped up for a gift.

Artsy Fartsy Holiday Shots

These are some shots of some of the lovely objects and textures I found at my parents' place over the holidays. Plus our dog Maddie...
