So it's been a mad few months. House sitting, Kaiapoi Art
Expo, staying with a broken friend, more house sitting, a bunch of markets.
Barely time to think, let alone get a blog post together.

| When I Go Acrylic, 2012 |
Nine works went to Kaiapoi Art Expo seven sold, I called it
successful. And then I got commission work from it as well. Bonus. Not bad for things
I only pulled together in the two weeks before it was on. Can you tell I am
highly organised?!

| If Pencil, 2012 |
Market life has started again with four down and almost
every weekend and a bunch of weekdays booked up from now until February.
Madness! Being a reclusive artist was much less work.... If you're in Canterbury ,
Nelson or Dunedin (New
Zealand ) check out the market page because
I'm coming to you!
I'm sure last time I posted I said interesting things were
being plotted. I had planned to get a calendar sorted for 2013 but have you
ever found out what it costs to get them printed in full colour?! Insanely
expensive. So it won't be happening this year, I might look into doing pre order
for 2014 and get folks to pay up front so I can afford to get it done. Would
anyone be keen for Sophie (the girl in black) and friends calendar?
I did manage to find time to paint a picture for a soon to be a
published author friend and turn it into a banner for her blog. So head over to
Mutterings from the oubliette and check it out full size.
I almost forgot! My oddball hats made it onto the national news!! Ok
so it was part of a clip about LUXCity that is a festival bringing life back to the Christchurch CBD but still they made it on there, and even better I wasn't in the shot! Not sure
if it can be viewed from other countries but this is the link to it, LUXCity.
Right I really should get onto making a bazillion hats,
this whole selling things is great but then I actually have to make more...
