Mondoodle 05-04-2010

I trust you’ve been having a restful long weekend – if you are somewhere where they give you one… I’ve been a-marketing, painting, drawing and enjoying the presence of the unseasonably warm sun. Very nice! You may recognise part of this from an earlier post. Well now I think I’ve finished it and I thought [...]

I had a hankering for some watercolour tonight. Drawn in the studio at 10.30pm on Monday March 29, 2010. He has a lean and hungry look. I feel that I should draw what he’s so focused upon… only I don’t know what it should be. We’ve had lots of grasshoppers around lately… maybe one of [...]

It’s late, it’s dark, the cocoon studio is a clutter of paintings around me and smelling strongly of turps and oils. In my slightly wonky tired state it’s rather nice and very familiar. I think… a link to my past as well as my present as it almost feels like it could be my mum’s [...]

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 [...]

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! [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
