Inspiration, muses and the like.....
I went to see PJ Harvey on Friday at the Opera House, wow she was amazing and very inspiring. She has said in interviews she reads a lot and draws inspiration from classic literature. And I think many of us look for inspiration from within and often struggle, other creative people can be an fantastic inspiration whether listening to pieces of music, reading poetry or having a great conversion with other artists.

Be open Muses can can come along when we least expect it :)

Had a very inspiring last weekend, saw some great artwork and felt truly moved. Above is the first painting I did over the Christmas break which I am really happy with and hope will get to show at a gallery later this year in Surry hills. I am aiming for 2008 to be a year of going forward with my art and my life in general and hoping not to get down with all the grief which seems to go hand in hand with life lol.
I am still selling lots of toys over at M A D and the prints down at my Poppet in Melbourne are going well too.
Hope to keep inspired this year!

Hi all, yes got a lovely wacom board for chrissy from my boyfriend and its all very exciting but it is very different to drawing on paper!
I have uploaded my first 2 drawings, well the very first one looked really bad, so did the second so they are not really the first but more like the 3rd and 4th LOL
Anyway I just spent 3 weeks in the country away from the computer painting on canvas which was really great, and I hope to have them in a group show later this year I will keep you posted.
bye for now

Happy birthday to me, yep 35 today and feeling 20 still lol well the art keeps me young I say. I had a big night last night and have another party tonight so I am resting/ recovering today with hot chips and DVDs ya. Got some awesome pressies including tickets to see Jack Johnson in centennial park which will be very cool.
Hope you are all rockin and rollin and wot not :)
Have a FANTASTIC christmas in case I do not blog again xx

Well I tried to take a "model" shot but as you can see I just look silly LOL anyway I bought 'birdlady' tshirt of mine and I actually really like it YAY.
Anyway work has been super busy with the lead up to Xmas and I have had no energy or time to do much else. I did go to a council event to celebrate artists in the Marrickville area which was a great night with great wine and food and cool performances.
Cintia is doing wonders down in Melbourne selling my prints which is fantastic and will certainly help with the credit card debt I racked up today buying chrissy pressies, I was crazy to think I could do it all in one day I did try but 5 bags later I struggled to the bus stop stressed and over it. But at least I have half of it done!
Also I just wanted to mention how many great people I have met through the artist online community Red bubble I never thought joining a place to sell artwork would uncover such a cool bunch of peeps:) and never thought I sell so many t shirts!!
Well hope you are all looking forward to Christmas cheer and food and wine hhhmmmmmm and a few well deserved days rest.

Woohoo my article came out today, in the Herald Sun home mag, check it out!
I just want to say a big thanks to Cintia from My poppet for all her support.
On other news, selling lots of T-shirts over at Red Bubble and was in Balmain fair the other weekend and sold lots of prints and magnets too. I have been very busy at work too November being the busiest time, so there's not much creative energy left on the weekends these days.... But I just dropped some toys off at M.A.D in Newtown for the xmas rush.
Hope everyone is happy and healthy. Sending out lots of love to my sisters too xx Tam
