November 15th, 2010 | Add your Feedback (0) share on twitter share on facebook ^_^...

Opps… that was quite an long time without posts! I will catch up on a couple of things that happened since October in the next days!

First the Mail Me Art book is out since October. My one arrived in late october and I love it! It’s a great collection of Illustrators and artist from all over the world. Darren Di Lieto’s collaborative project is very well managed and was a great experience. I am thrilled that I got a page in the book as well as selling my little artwork at the exhibition.

Many thanks again Darren!

Next to come: the adventures of a little Bear! Stay tuned ^_^…

October 30th, 2010 | Add your Feedback (0) share on twitter share on facebook ^_^...

‘How is that done?’ I do get this question quite a lot ^_^…

I think it might be time for my first weekend printmaking workshop ‘Drypoint on Perspex’! The workshop will take place at Inverlochy Art School here in Wellington.

I have a couple of ideas what might be interesting for you, but I am keen to hear your ideas as well. We will have space for 6 to 8 people. If you are interested please fill in this little questionnaire.

Everything is totally non-committal for now. I will send further information to everyone at the start of November.

There is a quick introduction to ‘Drypoint on Perspex’ on the minu website (http://minu.co.nz/en_EN/how-to-drypoint-on-perspex-plexi-glass/)

Come on get your fingers dirty ^_^…
