Brass Tack Reduction

Do have a look at the Illustration Page–I’ve just added a few new images.

As well, I will begin work soon on a couple of illustrations to be the visuals in the publication of a thesis dealing with imagination.
Imagine that!

I’ve begun work on the second half of the Russian Chicken series–Fair Is Fowl And Fowl Is Fair. These images will deal with the period from 1917-onward.
Will it be Putin Der Pute???
God help us if it’s not…

What’s more,  I have been busy putting together applications to do a Masters degree in the UK. Further discussions on this topic will only be had in person. I feel ridiculously superstitious about all this, and I don’t want to jinx it.
Could this be The End of the Germ’?!
I’ll keep you posted…

Fair Is Fowl and Fowl Is Fair

Hello to all of you who are not computer-generated identities created to distribute spam.
To those of you who are ””, hello is just too good for you.

Anyway, onto business. I’ve been working on a new series of drawings (Fair Is Fowl And Fowl Is Fair being the tentatively-planned name for the series) and I hope to start posting them soon. I’ve also been starting to do some illustration work, so I may put up a new page for that at the same time. Speaking of which, if ye gots any work for me….etc.

Is it hot where you are? It’s hot where I am…

NEW!

☛Stuff. New stuff. Finally. Apologies for the delay; I am, indeed, a fallible machine.

xo,

Ech

Blech. I’ve been sick. For a couple of months now. But I am getting better, and hope to post new work in the next 2 months. In the meantime, have a look at my blog salty wisdom. It’s easier to blog from bed than to paint. Ahem.

2 Things

Lovelies, as stated above, 2 things—

Thing 1 is that I finished TGOoA: Anger and have begun the next two pieces……nice.

Thing 2 is that I seem to get a lot of comments that could be from real people who have actually looked at the website, or could be from real weirdos who are basically spammers. All of which is just to say that if *you* ever post something and it doesn’t show up in good time, then please excuse me, I was confused.

Liebe Grußies!

mwah mwah x

Update: Anger

The next piece ‘The General Order of Anxiety: Anger’ should be done within a week or so…..hopefully up within a month or two. Methinks it’s looking foxy ;)

P.S.

It’s up!

Addendum

Ah, yes! Well just to let you know, the aforementioned painting is done, and the next is well on it’s way, but it probably won’t be posted til late March.

I have been in a press with the drawings, too, so I am going to wait for a few weeks so that I can get a bunch of new drawings up as well at the same time as I post the painting.

Til then, kittens.

Love For Wild Little Things

I’m nearing the completion of the next piece in the General Order of Anxiety series. The title will be ‘The General Order of Anxiety: Love’ and this one takes from the drawing ‘Animal Study VI’.

It’s the first time one of my drawings has informed a painting….that’s kind of odd isn’t it? I think it’s also pretty informed by inszenierungen; mise-en-scène (clearly this is not the type of thing one speaks english for). There’s a lot of *nature*. Architecture too, but a lot of colourful flora and shrubberies…and of course the fauna! Always my little fauna…I think people might feel differently about this one. I can see that the excess of plantlife might put off some people who are attracted to the architectural element of my work. Sometimes I feel as though I am–on a certain level–trying to bring my work as close as I possibly can to the kind of kitschy, mass-produced, sentimental nature prints that I abhor and still make it good. Clearly the masochist in me. So what I’m saying is: I can imagine that I may with this painting have gone too far that way for some people who’ve stayed with me to this point….

Hopefully it will be done and an image posted in a month or so–just in time for Valentine’s Day…..well at least my animals have a valentine, sheesh…..
