It’s written by Kerryn Pascoe and she will be launching it TOMORROW. (I can’t be there, most unfortunately.) Yes Tomorrow!!! So [...]

New arrivals!

By elise | Published: August 6, 2010

I have been quiet for a while! After the show I took a little break – the first in a very long time. And have been getting back into a variety of projects slowly. I even had a break from painting although I’m getting twitchy around paintbrushes now – its definitely time to pick them [...]

This is a character I’ve been playing with a little. I’m calling her the bumblebee girl. I know what happens next! She’s a good explorer but those are slippery poles and there are so many strange things beneath the waves. Drawn in the lounge on the comfy blue couch at 9pm, Monday 19th July, 2010. [...]

Yes, you are caught in a time loop. You thought it was Tuesday but it’s Monday again, and again. Which is good because it means it’s drawing day and I’m not late! If I was (and I’m still liking the time loop story) it was because I had an evil migraine on Sunday night which [...]

I was writing today in a cafe and (everyone who has ever workshopped with me can laugh now) I did a new beginning to my novel. This is something I do (shuffles awkwardly) well, quite often. In fact I am known for multiple first chapters. It’s a talent. Someone’s got to have it. One day [...]

A quick inexcusably late one… but done with the aid of new technology. I would have posted one done in Adobe Ideas from my ipad only it glitched and didn’t save it. Grrr. So this is done with Sketchbook Pro. And my finger. Sketched on the iPad on Tuesday 8th June, 2010. I need a [...]

A guy that’s been lurking in my notebook. An aviator or perhaps skiing bear. All that really matters is the scarf, the goggles and those gloves. Not sure when I drew him. Some images are best lost and found. I like him being on a journal page too – as if I discovered him when [...]

Oh dear – Mondoodle 03-05-2010

By elise | Published: May 5, 2010

I am so sorry! I’m working so hard I barely knew what day it was. Yesterday I wrote a chapter of my novel to workshop in a night class, did a lot of painting and sent out press releases late at night about the exhibition. It was a busy one! The paintings are going well. [...]
