new WORK

I recently completed some new personal works which will be available
exlusively at Signed + Numbered gallery in Melbourne from next week.


I really love working on these little series'.
I used to draw alot of animals and wild little things with my ladies
but since I started working commercially it's been mainly portraits
and fashion pieces.
So it's so fun to take some time out to draw the stranger little ideas
that pop into my head sometimes! :)


I also thought I would take the opportunity to post some more
'progress' shots as another thing I get asked about alot is how much of my work
is digital and how much is hand drawn.
As you can see here, it is pretty much all hand drawn or painted, but each element
is scanned into the computer and, if i'm creating background or patterns,
I then play around with things digitally.
(Pencil is always hand-drawn.)


This:


Becomes this:

Which becomes this:

I find that there's a little more freedom to experiment this way.
If you don't like something you can delete it and you haven't ruined
your original drawing!


Hopefully these pics give a little bit more of an insight into how I work,
without giving away too many of my secrets ;)


The Swan Queen and Jungle Queen are available
in both A4 and A3 sizes, in editions of 15, exclusively at
Signed + Numbered
Shop 4/155 Greville St,

sadako for JAPAN RELIEF

www.birdyandme.etsy.com/sadako


I'm sure, like me, alot of you are watching the news from Japan
as it unfolds - and feeling totally and utterly helpless.


The people in the north of the country have been completely
devastated, and the millions of others in the surrounding cities
including Tokyo are left feeling frightened and unsure of what's to come
as they experience ongoing aftershocks.


While all alot of us can do is hope for the best, and send them
all our love and support, there is one way you can help and that
is by donating to the Australian Red Cross' Japan appeal.


One way I hope to help, is by releasing a new print
and donating 50% of the proceeds straight to the Red Cross.
Especially given the story behind Sadako and her Paper Cranes.


*PLEASE NOTE*
This means that $20 from every sale goes straight to Red Cross.
Fees, Production and Postage costs come out of the remaining 50%.


If you would like to purchase one PLEASE CLICK HERE.


Please keep your eyes out for more lovely ways you can donate,
and follow me on twitter to re-tweet this info.
Every little bit helps and we need to raise as much as we can asap!


Thank you.
To everyone in Japan - stay safe!

:::::::::::::::::::: UPDATE ::::::::::::::::::::
Have sold 21 copies of 'Sadako' already and raised over $400!
Only 29 to go! :)
A special shout out to everyone who has bought a print so far.
You're all AMAZING and I thank you x

deck your WALLS

* Glass candles and bird from Country Road.


It's crept up on us a little, but my favourite time of year is nearly here!
I managed to find some time to create a new illustration for the festive season.
My thought was that alot of us love to have artwork on our walls, so
why not create a special print that you can bring out every December
to compliment your Christmas trimmings!


'Vixen' will be available both as a limited edition print of 25
AND a Christmas card pack.
To purchase simply visit my shop here:
www.birdyandme.etsy.com


Please note that cards are only available in packs of 5
and are not for individual sale.
Limited to 3 packs per customer as they are being printed and packaged by my little own self, so numbers are limited.


I hope you all had a great weekend, enjoy the rest of your week!
I will hopefully have some more updates for you this week - Yay!

A3 PRINTS HAVE ARRIVED!

I thought this reveal might be a little more exciting but i've
been talking it up for so long that I think it's lost it's magic.
But ANYWAY....finally finally finally, after many tragic printer mishaps
A3 prints are available in my store!
I have new images that I have been saving especially
and these will be available in editions of 10 in both A3 and A4 sizes.
The remaining 8 x 10s will stay in the shop until they sell,
but once they're gone they'll be gone forever and this new
system will be here to stay!


So at the moment there are 3 new prints available as seen above:
Fendi S/S 10, Come Fly With Me, Christian Dior HC 10


I'll add more depending on how well they sell.
So if you would like to buy either fashionista or a babe with a bird
click HERE : www.birdyandme.etsy.com

P.S I'm getting a puppy on Sunday and I thought i'd pre-warn
that there may be a puppy post on the horizon as she is so
f-ing cute I just want to squeeze her face off!


P.P.S Prints are not this contrasty in real life. It's just the photo!
They look very much like the original illustrations.
