Mondoodle 08-03-2010

Over the weekend I have done two markets. The first was in the St Kilda Town Hall on Saturday. For those of you not in Melbourne, it was wrath-of-god type of day. I was well-inside the beautiful old hall – well-dwarfed by tall arches, well-sheltered by lofty ceilings… when half-way through the afternoon the skies [...]

Mondoodle 01-03-2010

Today’s Mondoodle is one of my favourites. Although it feels like it came from nowhere… today I looked an “Bird” the artists book by Kat Macleod, I sat having a coffee at uni with papers swirling and flapping around me in a vortex of wind, I flew home fast on my bicycle in the cool [...]

Behind me, before me

I’ve been burning the midnight oil this past month, finishing off the last of my normal book jobs. We’ve had the oh-so-cute picture book My Boots in Season drawn, painted, fonted and handed in. And then yesterday I rode my bike into the city to hand in Sarindi’s Dragon Kite. What a job that was! [...]

Mondoodle 15-02-2010

It’s a busy busy week. Today I worked for a meeting tomorrow with my Epic editor. No, she isn’t epic, the story is Epic. Otherwise known as The Protector. I also went to my novel class. Novel as in new, and as in, well, novel. Yes, I’m writing one. All the way till the end. [...]

Mondoodle 8-2-2010

Just as I hoped, it was lovely to paint again on Sunday at the market. Hello to all the new people I met there! It was a beautiful day. I finally filled the frames on the wall of the rabbit-cafe picture and gave myself another indulgent hour on it this morning before it got too [...]

Mondoodle 11-01-10

Today is hot. A little yin for the northern hemisphere’s snowy ice-bound yang, perhaps. So I find myself sitting at the green phone table by the window downstairs, hiding from the heat. The phone table isn’t ideal but it is by the window and after sitting with my back to the windows all day, I [...]

Greetings from the other side of the new year. I hope some of you got to travel to wonderful places… This is a Part One style mondoodle. Let’s see where it goes from here… there’s a whole blank page to the left still to be filled. Drawn in the lounge at 10.50pm, Monday 4th January 2010.

Mondoodle 28-12-09

In this twilight moment of 2009 I wish you happiness and great beginnings. I hope you all get a brief respite from work – I’m having one and it is much needed. Next year is going to be exciting and challenging and I’m looking forward to it. But I’ll think about that soon. For now, here’s [...]

Mondoodle 21-12-09

Late!! I’m working on all sorts of last-minute things here and so, my Mondoodle became a Tues… that really doesn’t work. Tuesday 22nd December, 2009 Talking book and cocoa… The studio at noon, sun shining outside, a crow cawing on the roof. I wonder what he’s listening to…

Quick-draw Rabbit plus one

I’m thinking that with these videos, while you watch the sequence of strokes, you might also watch a story unfold if I sketch it in the right order. That’s tricky for me as it requires a certain amount of planning, and I have been enjoying letting the drawing do its own thing to an extent. [...]
