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 a dream-like fragment I’ve drawn in the last week and finished today.

Finished in the lounge, Monday 28 December 2009.

This is from my new moleskine – number 5.

Last market today

** A reminder that the last Christmas market is on today Wednesday 23 December from 3-8pm at the Abbotsford Convent **

Outside there’s a Farmer’s Market (entry $2) and inside, via the main courtyard to the right is the Arts Market. I’ll bring along some paintings, prints, cards and there will be excellent stocking-filler opportunities as well as significant gifts. If you’re off work already, just come for a wander. The weather will be perfect! For dinner or a celebratory drink there’s the Bakery, Lentil as Anything, the new Japanese restaurant and Handsome Steve’s.

It’d be lovely to see you!

I’ll be checking email till noon if you want to send me any requests to put things aside for you.

Late!!

I’m working on all sorts of last-minute things here and so, my Mondoodle became a Tues… that really doesn’t work.

Talking book and cocoa…

The studio at noon, sun shining outside, a crow cawing on the roof.

I wonder what he’s listening to…

Mondoodle 14-12-09

I started this on the 11th December, when Pete and I were in the Paris Cat jazz club. A beautiful lady was singing, the lights were low and we were celebrating Pete’s birthday with cocktails and fine wine. A magical night. Most of this was drawn in the semi-dark and finished off today.

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. I’ll have to think up some elaborate ones. Unfortunately the YouTube thumbnail can ruin the surprise. I wish I could properly choose my own… they offer three random moments and none were quite early enough. It would be nice if you could zoom in on a little piece of the action instead, as the teaser.

I hope you enjoy it.

And while I’m thinking about drawings… Any requests? Any particular animal?

The Exhibition

I am so excited to finally be able to give you news about my exhibition! Hooray, huzzah and woot!! So here are the vital statistics… I’ll post updates and news as it happens.

No-Vacancy Gallery

ELISE HURST paintings & etchings

Opening Night: Thursday 20th May 6 – 9pm
Exhibition: 20th May until 2nd June

I’ll be painting throughout the exhibition and will host a special family day on the first weekend so you can bring along the kids to check out the work and enjoy the brilliance of my fairy-bread-making skills.

The opening should be a great night. I can’t wait!

Mondoodle 7-12-09

So I found myself today on Lygon st in Carlton, having mistaken the date for another and arrived, all aflutter, for a meeting that wasn’t. Earlier I had lost a notebook with story ideas and pictures then found it at the gym. I had, in between these events, inspected my recycling twice, come to know all the nooks and crannies of the house overwell and generally, thereafter, scurried. So when I found myself at a loose end on Lygon st at 4pm, I adjourned to Trotters and simultaneously relaxed and awakened with coffee and a drink.

And, of course, my Moleskine sketchbook.

Which made me much much happier.

Trotters, Lygon St, 4-6pm Monday 7th December 2009.

All that remains is to ask – what caption would you give it?

market date change

The next Maker’s Market is in fact on the 20th December, 10-4pm!

In other news, the Sunday Arts at the Convent special twilight market on the 23 December is to be the last ever for this market, so we’re going to make it a doosie! We’ll be teaming up with a delicious farmer’s market that afternoon.

Both of these markets are inside so there will be no hassles about the weather, whatever it is. Hope to see you there!

New shop

Snnip! pop (bubble bubble) Hooray!

You just heard the opening of the new online shop.

Tadaa!!

Yes, I have put the prints and cards online with books soon to follow. Which means an easy way to preview some of what will be on offer at the market and a chance for interstate and international people to view and buy things online. We’re all safe and secure with ways to pay and ways to post so that your goodies arrive in happy fashion.

As always, you can pick things up from me and save on postage, or ask that I bring things to the market so they’re all ready for you and not sold out!
