The Green Photo Series.
Every year I make a Christmas print. They make nice icons.
This year I thought it might be nice to take some of the wonderful drawings my nieces have on their fridge and turn them into Christmas pillow slip prints.
What do you think of the result? Do you think they'll recognize them?
Couldn't resist my own composition though - the squashed bug and the koala wolverine.
Two days work. Made extras to sell at the West End markets for $15. If you're in Brisbane and you want one.
Just look for the jam lady - that's my mum. She's got a new batch of marmalade and apricot jam too.
Found five-year-old character studies I made in 2005 as I developed concepts for my book.
I did a writing course in Sydney at the time with a creativity expert from the States who teaches people to use art, music and movement to find your characters - how they move, how they speak, what they look like. It's all part of making it real - rather than an idea in your head. Boolissimo never made it into the book. But I can't let the girl character go yet - even though she's been tossed for the moment. BTW, Basil was a beloved member of the family for 10 years. He used to listen to me sing the score of Les Mis a cappella as we worked in the garden. He hated bum notes and rock'n'roll.
Did you know that downunder, a whipper snipper has a heart shape? Who would've thought eh?
Reckon people play it over and over and over and over.... Luckily it started again.
Feel free to download my design or use the images to create your own.
Merry Christmas. Love to see what you come up with too.
And here's something beautiful to occupy anyone who loves animation on the State Library's Summer Reading Club website: http://if90.net/vsae/
