Inspiration - Art & Coffee

I love the design above done for Dead Man Espresso a newish cafe (probably not that new!) located in South Melbourne. Their coffee is fantastic and the people that work there are lovely!

The guys who designed the image above are Webuyyourkids a collaboaration between Sonny Day & Biddy Maroney. They design T-shirts, websites, logo's, packaging and band posters.

I also love the film Dead Man - which must have been of some influence to the artwork and name?!

More Works to Folio

Hope everyone had a good weekend! - have uploaded more images onto my portfolio, I don't have close ups of these works yet so there is alot of detail you miss in these shots. Will hopefully get some done soon. Have also included 2 shots of the works hung in a gallery space.

Exhibitions, Weddings, Folio Work and Misc Whooha

I have had the best week having my parents down cleaning up my house, doing my washing, babysitting so we can go see Ponyo (the new miyazaki film) and generally giving me a big break while they hung out with their little grandaughter!

Have been to the Dali exhibition at the NGV which was awesome, plenty of inspiration but the exhibition was huge so have to go back and have another look. My favourite parts were the animation with Disney and a set for hitchcock he designed (oh and also the metal beating heart at the end!).

I have loaded some more work into my portfolio on flickr, part of the Dream Series again based on some drunken nights out with my friends at uni. I really liked the shadows of the girl dancing into the scene, depending on how you moved the light it made her look like she was moving. Have been working on a few other projects (including the wedding!) but will have to fill you in later!

More Works to Portfolio

I've added the next series of images to my portfolio, bit by bit I will get there! Below are a few images - again from the dream series of work I did using machine embroidary, collage, print and degumming.

It's sooooo windy outside, crazy Melbourne weather.

Portfolio

Since i haven't had anytime for making lately, I am going through the slow process of putting my portfolio online with Flickr and have put a slideshow on the righthand side bar of this blog. The work I am currently putting up is my final years work at uni, which was based on dreaming and the unconscious mind (will find the blurb at some stage and put it up) . The techniques I used were machine embroidary, photo emulsion for the printed imagery, degumming and collage. Below are some images of the first work I have loaded up.
