This is and will always be a major no, no in the design biz. The orphan. The word or letter left all on its own – well, crap!
I cannot make it go away, so that this link looks all pretty and well thought out.
I don’t know what to say. I’ve got nothing, I’m sorryhttps://www.etsy.com/au/shop/EmilyRedsArt
4 years studying Graphic Design, and I’ve got orphans. Never mind, I’ll stick to making pictures instead.
Lino printing session
Had a monster printing sesh, and look what happened. Each different from the other. Each one drawn out, planned out. Cosmic girl in the tub, less so – and yet, she is the girl the people are asking for…
‘This old love’
I cram read in the Summer.
Throughout the year, I’m often hanging on by a thread. There is kid stuff, kid notes, study for me and them, appointments, haircuts, shopping, cooking, washing, gardening – and still trying to find one on one time for each family member.
So, reading is the first thing to go. I can manage a few articles, a quick flick through a magazine. But the minute I see a spine, binding, and a reasonable strength cover on a publication, I’ve got no time. Not till Summer. Then I read 11 books.
‘Cosmic girl’
I had a little piece of Lino left over from another print I had made. It was long and thin, and looked like a bath. I snippedoff the edges, and in she hopped. I tossed up between bubbles vs no bubbles – and went with galaxy instead. I had bought some lovely indigo, which I thought might be a nice change from black.
Here she is, blowing a bubble. Cosmic girl in the bathtub.
‘Downward spiral’
This image is inspired by yoga loving ‘downward dog’. She’s tired, frazzled, defeated with a head too full. I feel this sometimes – verging on collapse, dribbling on the floor – letting it all go.
Stay wild, moon child
A new one. Inspired by curly hair, a special thing to be a real curly girl. Oh, the shitty haircuts we have received because no one in the world was ready for this hair. Not a lot of people understand it – although they say they do.
‘Where she went’
A bit of a departure from the other prints. A little more dream-like.
The end result –
Ink and grout {making}
These sweet cheeks are from my First lady~like Lino print.
I tried to replicate the same vibe in glass. This little piece is for the DWB/MSF art auction to be held in early 2017, organised by the incredible Lin Schorr. A great deal of work goes into making this happen year after year.
Thanks Lin. You are super cool.
Looking for gesture {making}
A bit of a collection has started. Mosaic tools and pieces of glass are packed away on the shelf while I work through ideas and sketches and spend time digging out new images.
I am absolutely trying to capture gestures. Humour, whimsy and deep feels are what I’m aiming for.
Numb & getting colder.
