New Illustrations!

You may remember this pinecone image that I completed about a month ago. It’s had a little makeover.
I’m really into patterns textures and shapes at the moment as you can see.

|Signed and Numbered Illustrations |

Reflections

Another Deer

These two images will soon be available in A3 size at Signed and Numbered – look out for them in 2 weeks time.
For the time being Signed and Numbered has A3 sizes of the Night Owl. They look really great in the bigger size.

Colourful mountain scape.

Amazing gold hairdo.

Something (very) old something new – Found here.

I want to draw this – Found here.

Some of the things I have been working on for clients over the last month… Many more to come!

| Ninny & Theo |

Ninny is my cat, she’s the one on the left.
Theo is my partners sisters cat and obviously the cat on the right.
They’ve been friends lately which, is a nice change from them trying to claw each other.
I found them earlier this week talking to each other through the window. I think this means there official friends or something like that.

| New Illustration |

I finished this image last month and thought that I should at least show it to the world.
I’m hoping to use this little illo for something later on down the line,
but it’s a bit of a secret at the moment and very much a work in progress so watch this space.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with embroidery and thought it was about time that I gave it a go.
They’re so much fun to do but I think it’s very much a hobby for me.

| Exciting Things |

You can’t imagine how excited I was to see one of my birdies in the September/October 2011 issue of Inside Out Mag.
The talented Glen Proebstel (Styling) & Sharyn Cairns (Photography) teamed up to do the photoshoot and styling for the fearture.
You should definitely take the time to have a look at both of their websites, they have some very impressive works which are very inspiring!

I hope everyone had a great Easter break. I managed to get away to the coast of Tassie to visit my sister for a few days, while I was there we went walking and took loads of pics of mushrooms and ferns.
I also, managed to find the time to finish Kirstin’s image above, he’s a little inspired from the mushroom pics I took on the Easter break. This birdie was created for a little art comp I ran in March, I used  the lucky winners colour of choice. I’ve named him Red Robin and have incorporated Kirstin’s colour – Burgundy. I’ll be in contact Kirstin for postal arrangements for the original and a print. I hope you like him. :)

Three posts in one day – That’s unheard of for me.
I couldn’t wait to share the news. : )

The delightful people at Panelpop have made panels out of my ‘Love Birds’ illustration for Valentine’s day. We changed the colour to a nice lovely red for the occasion as well.
The timber used for the panels is jarrah which, were floorboards saved from a renovation in Yarraville, Victoria. I love the fact that Panelpop use recycled timber in all their panels. Clever cats!
For those that don’t know – Panelpop is a shop located at 117 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy in Melbs.
You’ll want to be quick if you’re keen to get one as only 5 were made.

Very very very, excited and honoured to be participating in the Drawn from Fashion exhibition along with these talented, lovely lasses.

:: Courtney Brims, Pilgrim Lee, Sarah McNeil, Racket, lalita lu, Meeri Anneli, Elisa Mazzone, Erin Flannery, Emma Leonard, Kelly Smith, Catherine Campbell, Jessica Singh, Lauren Carney, Pippa McManus and Bec Winnel. ::

The exhibition coincides with the amazing Finders Keepers markets in Melbourne and the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. I’m even thinking that it’s a great excuse for a weekend holiday up to Melbs.

^Kelly Smith has out done herself yet gain with the brilliant illustration on the front of the poster. I think it’s incredible – just look at that detail on the dress.
- Thank you Ladies and Lads from Leeloo for organising such a great event. -

Work by Beth-Emily Gregory and
Alecia Lanzlinger-Groom
Exhibiting at Cube Gallery Salamanca
08/02/11 – 28/02/11

- New work -

I’ve been working on the illustrations above for a little while now. There for a small exhibition in Salamanca, Hobart that I’m organising with my business partner from Floatingworld – Alecia.

Our inspiration has come from the landscape and geometric shapes and organic forms found in nature.
My pieces are a limited edition triptych set – individual size is 210 x 594 mm and the three together is 630 x 594 mm
I’ll be selling them as a set or individually. I’ll post when they are on my etsy stall. :)

I hope everyone is well and that all are safe and sound in the QLD area -
been thinking of you over the last couple of days and my friends in the areas.
For those that have been following the art4heart project we managed to raise a total of $5305.00 – which is truly amazing.
I’ll be doing a write up about the project on the art4heart blog very soon. I’ll keep you posted on that too.

Anyone been to New Zealand lately? and know of any cool touristy things to do there – Oh Lord of the Rings/Hobbit huts, that could be fun.

Hello everyone I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I certainly did relaxing and staying FAR away from client work. I got to focus on a couple of my own projects over the break it’s been refreshing picking them up again.

The image above is one of the projects that I had to postpone due to the madness before Christmas. This little guy is a Rufous Fantail and he’s going to be in a set of 4 which I am creating for the lovely Signed & Numbered shop I can’t wait to complete the rest.

On another note… Please visit next Monday as I have some rather exciting news that I’d like you all to be involved in. Stay Tuned as I wouldn’t want you to miss out. Have a great weekend
