Art Journal Workshop

Next Sunday August 10th, I am holding a wonderful Art Journal Workshop from 1.30-4.30 in which we will use collage and mixed media to enrich our existing journals or create our artistic beginnings in a new one. It is a very exciting way to begin a series of workshops and classes I intend to run over the next few months will in residency at Darebin Parklands. Bellow are some examples of my own journals, my students and some of Asphyxia's too. Asphyxia is an amazing local artist who will join us for an hour next Sunday for the workshop and share with us some of her books and techniques.

Workshop Sunday 10th August 2014, 1.30-4.30 at the Studio (in the Ranger's buildings) at Darebin Parklands, $50 full $40 con.

The flood of Inspiration

The flood of inspiration comes as an artist sometimes when you dont expect it. Other times it seems to creep up, I can feel it coming, like a tidal wave rising and my long-range detectors seem to tune in. At times I can even plan for it, which is wonderful (if it comes true that it!) at this time it seems to actually be happening this way. In fact, I am still having inspiration flow through me so much right now it is very hard to keep up... here are some snaps of where I am at...
