Sneak Peak

This is a little sneak peak from a new print that was very popular at the Spring Fair this year. It's an etching that is in it's second stage and hopefully I will be able to push it into a third stage soon. I've been working on it since February and I'm planning more images to build a series of work.

Spring Fair~!

This year's spring fair has been moved to another location because CoFA is currently under development and half of the school is closed for demolition. The Spring Fair (renamed Awfully Nice Markets) no longer sits in the artist community in Paddington but is relocating to the main campus of UNSW. Other than the space and the name business is as usual and so you can expect the same art and design fair of handmade artworks, jewellery, clothes, ceramics, paintings and prints. I've put a little selection of printed goodies that I'm going to be selling on the day to whet the appetite. Come along to see and purchase more!

The exact location is:

UNSW, in Kensington

The Commerce Courtyard, (near the library)

Oppo The CBD (I don't know what that stands for)

in Upper Campus, the side closest to Botany Street

Closest Gates are 9 & 8 on High Street

If That doesn't help you there will be signs and 'yellow shirts' pointing you our way,

as well as a whole cheese plater of other information as

UNSW's Open day for future students is happening at the same time.

That being said there will be information about CoFA courses and degrees

but to get some insider information strike up some conversation with students selling their work!

Guess which one mis-registered?

For all you out there that missed my glorious prints at the Spring Fair: shame on you!

But I forgive, to show my forgiveness here's a sample of some of my work that was on sale.

There is just a single elephant per print, but I really ended up loving my dodge print and wanted to show it off. My little elephant on the right is out by several centimeters but he has become my favourite out of the bunch.

The original image was penned in at the Singapore zoo, where a lovely elephant repeated this pose several times to snack on some artificially elevated bananas.

Spring Fair! This Saturday!

The time has come again for Spring Fair!

Student and graduates of cofa bring out their wares for sale in a crazy, colourful market carnival set in cofa. There are also exhibitions, live dj's, tours, festival food and demonstrations. Even if you are broke and can't buy any art come for the free demonstrations!

I recommend the printing demonstrations. Michael Kempson will be doing a print run of professional artists' work throughout the day, working with the etching press. It's wonderful to see the before and after of prints, and if you run into the images again in some gallery you can boast that you were there when they were being made.

I will also be around and about in the printing studio, talking about printing and selling some of my own work, so come find me!

For anyone wondering where and what cofa is, it's an Art University residing in Sydney, Paddington, at the Corner of Oxford St and Greens Rd.

Spring Fair starts at 10am until 4pm
this saturday, 19th of September
