Halcyon days

Halcyon days                                                            

Definition: 

A period of peace and happiness; an idyllic time;

also, 

a period of calm weather during the winter solstice.

Heres to pushing winter back around that corner and letting imagination run forward to lazy summer days...

Till then,

don't let the darkness eat you up...

Kelly’s: I ♥ thy

by Kelly Smith and Kelly Thompson

by kelly Smith

 Just a quickie... I would like to share my two favourite illustrators from the southern hemisphere. 

Kelly Smith and Kelly Thompson. 

They are both amazingly talented, each possessing a contemporary quirkiness. Its not surprising that these two often collaborate on exhibitions together.

Smith creates beautifully detailed pencil drawings of her latest fashion muses. 

Her blog ‘Birdy and me’ is a must view. 

Whilst Thompson’s inspirations from the feminine form take on a more graphic appearance.

Major brownie points are scored here, as she manages to sketch all of her work of recycled card. 

You can view all of her works here.

Crackerness

Well it’s reached that time of year… 

I cannot resist any longer…. So here is a little piece of Christmas crackerness. This cracker card will be available to buy from Zeath Gallery and at Tubestation’s Christmas festival. 

The festival will be offering hand-made and fairtrady goods by local artists and crafty people, as well as festive food and treats. (With a percentage going to shelter box)

 It will be just the ticket to get you in the spirit! 

Hope you can make it...

Pick up STICKS

Sometimes it feels good to shake off limitations- 

get lose, pick up sticks, ink and draw....

Io Sono L'Amore

The clocks have gone back, nights are drawing in, X-factors in full swing and winter laziness has most defiantly set in. The least I can do to break this routine is to get out on a Sunday night to our little film society. And gosh have they been popping out some real delights. Last week we had Gainsborough’s biopic. Exposing the coming about of the iconic je taime, his illustrious (but very fated) love affairs and quirkily illustrated fantasies. 

After disappointedly been told I was in for an Italian porn romp……I was not prepared for this weeks absolute gem…… 

Oi Seno L’Amore 11 years in the making is beautiful, detailed, cinematography from beginning to end. Tilda Swinton trapped in Milanese high society is swept away by passion and sensuality of food. Heavy, though funny, melodrama is heightened by chandlers, sliding doors and lingering shadows. Though the plot is obvious, the woven photography and music back drop is tantalizing….. 

A classic and a must see…… 

Do enjoy

After much nagging and persuasion.…

    Hello world and welcome to me, Miss Alice.

I would like to share with you my doodles… drawing on fashion and the people around me….

 Other  ponderings into art, photography and the inspirational work of some amazingly creative peps out there.

So come what may and here we go….

I hope you enjoy….
