Draw Off #84

This weeks challenge topic was Wonder Woman! I was initially totally excited to draw this one but then time slipped away and I realised the week was almost over and all I had drawn were some black pants with pentagrams on them.
After contemplating giving up I pulled myself together and managed to add a body and head and there you have it, Wonder Woman! Not totally happy with this one but I wont go into that because its boring. Instead I'll tell you some cool things I was thinking about when drawing it! Ok so... I've been thinking about Cher and how amazingly good she is and also how much I love the movie, Mermaids. If you're unfamiliar with the film, Cher plays an unconventional, single mum to two daughters- Wino and baby Christina Ricci, growing up in the 1960's. NB. Also features Bob Hoskins. I figured Cher is a Wonder Woman and that I should draw a picture more influenced by her powerful self than anything else really. I didn't really wanna try to make the face look like Cher because she has a crazy wrinkle-less appearance and everything I draw is covered in sleepy lines and grumpy wrinkles, but I 100% tried to illustrate her out-of-control-super-dooper-good hair!

Draw off #83

This weeks OzComics challenge topic was The Joker! LOL.

Drawing Time!

I recently completed a series of works on porcelain and here's a shiny photograph of some of them! This is the first time I have used porcelain and although it was kinda annoying at times it was also really fun. It's nice to start from scratch and actually create the surface you are about to draw on. These guys hang on the wall but you could also eat your dinner off them! (wooooah!) They are going to be on display at Gaffa Gallery in Sydney from Wednesday 7th Spetember (Opening -Thursday 8th September) as a part of the Drawing Time exhibition curated by Daniel Smith. If you are in Sydney you should go check it out because there's some totally awesome artists from both Newcastle and Sydney involved.

People Need Dramatic Examples

I drew this in my boyfriend's sketchbook a while ago and found it today. It's quite obviously a variation on my standard t-shirt wearing boy/girl. This time he features blue lips and a big lemon yellow eye. Hooray!

Hellride

I projected some drawings onto the bodies of my friends and photographed them. This is what they looked like. Thanks for being awesome Eva, Jayde and Grant! 

Sometimes.. I wish Wesley Willis was alive and lived in Newcastle and had an exhibition at ARThive. Maybe he'd get really bored though. Stop being boring Newcastle.

Seven

This is another print from the 'Why Wednesday?' slash 'Every Boy Always, Always' seriessss of drawings slash screen prints I created last year.
I've been meaning to upload this for ages but most of the time Id rather watch movies and hang out with the awesome cat and boy I live with. Here it is anyway.. I think its some kind of happy skull face day dreaming about rockets, love and the number seven or something.
This one is available to buy in print form from my Society6 shoppe too!

Why Wednesday?

This is an image of some drawings I exhibited recently at Shop Front Gallery as a part of the This Is Not Art festival. You can see a few more here or you can wait until I find time to scan them all and put them on this here blog/mess. It was a last minute exhibition and I found myself with only one day (Wednesday) to get them done. Everything I do is generally pretty rushed anyhow so this really isnt that different I guess..
