New paints

2012-02-08T16:36:00.002+11:00

I think it was a couple of weeks ago when I received Winsor & Newton's Artist's acrylic tube set. This lovely gift was a part of the Yen magazine art competition. I don't usually use acrylic for my illustrations so the box of paints remain untouched and unopened for a while. However, my boyfriend's birthday is coming up very soon and instead of buying a birthday card for the occasion, I thought it's a great opportunity to open the box and play with my new acrylic paints...well, I just used ultramarine but anyway, here is the results. Hope he likes it.

Thank you Yen magazine and Winsor & Newton for the paints!

illustrations for "Hometown Dress"

Last year, my very talented friend Jess asked me to make artwork for her up coming album. And just the other day she gave me a copy of her new CD... ! It feels a bit surreal and so exciting at the same time to see my illustrations transformed into a tiny square box containing a CD.

I'm just loving her songs and this cd will remain in my stereo for a very long time, I think...!

End of an exhibition

Now the show is over! Just wanted to thank everyone who came to the exhibition "somewhere they can't find me" at Gaffa over the last two weeks! I've got so many positive responses and am very happy about that...

I know I'm not meant to be taking pics, but hey, I thought I should probably document my own show so here are some of the images from the show...

...Do you like simple black and white ones or dot & coloured ones...??
