I have been published... kinda!

I finally got my copy of "art house co-op"s book for "the scavenger project"! I was worried that my copy was never going to arrive because I heard other people got theirs a few weeks ago. But here it is, and I am completely over the moon!!!













I knew that even though there were 24 sections to the book that you could have contributed art towards, you were only guaranteed to get one image into the book. But I got two images in, and I am ecstatic about it!! It just has given me such a buzz to actually see my images in print!!!

That is my image on the left hand side with the title of the section printed on it! And they got my name right as well!!! I called this image "Thief", here is the link to the blog entry when I did the artwork: thief

This is the second page I was on. I am the right hand image with the Wooster St sign and the traffic lights. I called this image "city" and here is the link to the blog entry from when I did it: "city"

alphabet soup

This is a mixed media piece I did for the "Scavenger Project" an art project organised by Art House Coop. The prompt they gave was "alphabet soup" and this was my response.

It is a mixed media art work on a vintage book page. I drew with pencil and painted with acrylics. The words have been written with white souffle pen.

The words are imaginary dialogue I wrote using the story that was on the vintage book page. The key words are in the soup in the ladle. I enjoyed doing this page. It was nice to do some drawing and painting again rather than collage. I liked the old page and the text as a background to start from and the double prompt of the words on the page as well as the prompt from Art House Coop.

I am interested to see whether any of my submissions will be printed in the "scavenger project" book, but it is not due out till next year, so I will just have to wait!!
