two places

work in progress

work in progress

A new series of woodblock prints is in the planning stages. These pics are snippets from my drawings. I'm a little bit excited about them but the proof (as every printmaker knows) will be in the printing. I'll be using some of that gorgeous shina ply I had shipped over from Japan via woodlike matsumura.

On other creative matters have you heard the debut album from seeker lover keeper (aka Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby & Sally Seltmann)? I especially love this song. I've even put it on my blog side bar - see the ipod widget. Three amazingly talented Australian musicians! Sadly, I will miss all four of their performances in Melbourne next month as I'll be in Arnhem Land on the weavers trip. Some say escaping Melbourne winter for a bit of northern territory warmth is a good thing at this time of year. But this is one time I'd really like to be in both places at once!

blue skies

Sunshine at last! Bliss! I've finally been able to photograph some of my prints in natural light today. And sat sunning myself under that deep blue sky while eating my lunch and looking at this lovely pink flower that grows from an even pinker succulent I have in the courtyard.

I'm still a bit fixated with this design and getting it just right before I start carving into a woodblock. I will keep experimenting with the green for a bit.

And having fond thoughts of the Gertrude St gallery crawl I did with feed the dog just last week. Best described by design files like this.
