Yay! As of a couple of hours ago, these and the larger Burlesque-themed drawings are up on the walls of the Rendezvous/Jewelbox Theatre
Tomorrow (Friday) night, the owners are celebrating 10 years of being at Rendezvous – do come by, it’s going to be fun!!
Do check out: the amazing work of artist Anouk Griffioen, working out of the Netherlands. So, so beautiful.
A while back I created this super-fun blog header Justyn from Dunia Duara, so imagine my excitement at being asked to create individual page headers for the online contributions of her four kids! Soooooo awesome.
This one’s for the eldest, artist, sumi-e student, writer, bibliophile and origami enthusiast!
For the second eldest, musician, budding authoress, fan of sci-fi and fantasy literature – her family calls her “little bird.”
The boy of the group, solitary like my brother (strong, surviving three sisters!) – explorer, adventurer, wildlife biology buff and lego architect!
And last but not least, the baby – constantly dancing, fond of baby animals, flying, cooking, Paris, gelato, and have I mentioned – dancing?
This project was lots of fun because – now that I think about it – the kids remind me so much of my siblings, growing up. Two older girls, a boy and a baby girl, homeschooled, travelers, basically of the artsy-bookish-nerdy type.
I, of course, eldest, basically an antisocial hermit holed up in my room with books and colored pencils, Lara, supersmart bibliovore, long hair, guitar in hand, Shuki – the origami master in this case, animal trivia EXPERT, and Milli the baby, bubbly, happy, French-ish. Weird! And so much fun.
Finally got a chance to sit down and finish some little pieces I’ve been putting off in lieu of working on commissioned pieces – here they are!
‘splitting headache’ – I’ve never had headaches worth complaining about until twice this last year, both times while returning from a trip via plane – the only thing I can think of is the pressure change (if there is one?) during landing. Maybe because they’re so new, or maybe becauuse I just don’t know how to properly handle pain, but I seem to be able to remove myself from my head and just look at it as being an incredibly surreal sensation. Like pins being stuck into a raw wound. I’m glad this isn’t a regular happening.
‘rising sun’
‘hoping’
‘pink skin’ – either she’s sunburnt (a joke, living in Seattle), or she’s part little piggy.
‘flower stigmata’ – for this one I broke out the rarely used gold ink!
