I’ve been needing to do a new business card for quite some time now. So this is what I have started for it. I’d love to to a few images and have a set of business cards. Sort of like limited editions.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I was hanging out with my mum and borrowed some cake and biscuit books. Can’t wait to find some time to make a few.

Oooh. The eyes. Pretty lady.

Bird of the Sun | 2010

I’ve managed to finish the birdy that I have been working on (amongst other things).
He’ll be available as an OPEN EDITION PRINT in my etsy shop in a weeks time.

I thought that I might try and be a little bolder and braver with my colours this time around. Next image I may even draw something different than a bird. =^_^=

*I just wanted to take the time to say a massive thank you to all the encouragement from everyone. Especially from other artists and illustrators that take the time out from their busy work to write special little messages or whom send me little gifts.

Work has been keeping me on my toes lately. However, there are many exciting things in the pipelines to share at later dates. I’m also looking forward to taking some pics of the changing seasons. Spring is my favourite time of year, blossoms, magnolias and daffs all blooming. Such a beautiful time of year.

♥♥♥ Oh… how I love these shots: Brightly coloured illustrations with monochromatic
photography and the lovely lady ‘Erin Wasson’. ♥♥♥

‘Erin Wasson plays both designer and model for the fall lookbook of her collaborative collection with RVCA clothing. Lensed by David Mushegain, Erin poses in front of a whimsical backdrop of colorful illustrations drawn by Alia Penner. Evoking a sense of casual cool, the images reflect the laid-back spirit of the autumn range with its focus on denim, tees and accessories.’

Words from: Fashion Gone Rogue.

Here’s a little peek at an image I have been working on. I’ve been using textured paper to draw on lately and I’m really liking the surface and the texture/depth that it creates with the pencil. Can’t wait to finish it.

On the weekend we went down to Cygnet with a friend of ours. It was really nice country drive down, for those that don’t know where Cygnet it is about an hour south of Hobart. I took a couple of happy snaps while I was there. One of Lilly the pup, wattle and female wrens, which were hoping about eating worms.

These are the artworks that I completed for the Rainy Days exhibition. The opening is at Cube tomorrow night. I can’t wait to see what everyone else did.
If you’re out and about in Salamanca, Hobart during the week drop by Cube to see all the works.
Each original piece will be for sale at Cube!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

This is a little preview of what I have been working on of late. Feathers and pink!

*Anyone who will be in Brissy this weekend, should go to the Finders Keepers Markets and visit the lovely Lauren Carney and the other talented creatives that will be participating. Good luck to everyone involved and I hope you all have success. x

The above photos are of plants I picked while on a short walk in South Hobart. I wanted to photograph different perspectives of natural forms.

My poor neglected blog. Sorry everyone, I’ve been pretty busy which unfortunately, means limited or in this case no blogging time. Things are coming from each angle at the moment but the things that I am organising are very exciting indeed and I can’t wait to share all the news. But unfortunately, some of these exciting things have to wait.

I can let you know that I plan to be in a group exhibition in July. It’s going to be hosted in Cube, a lovely little boutique in Salamanca, Hobart. The exhibition itself is called Rainy Days, which I find very appropriate for this time of year in Hobart, brrrrr! just a tad cold. My business Partner of Floatingworld, Alecia will also be participating. Weeee… fun times ahead.

I thought I would share this as well. Ages ago I entered the Finders Keepers comp. Here is a little interview about me and my works. Enjoy. : )

I made my very own Treasury on Etsy. My theme is ‘all things inspired by the natural world’. I loooooovvvvvvveeeee them all!
I especially love the little garden gnome by Moontsy and Floontsy. Very cute!
