This is how I moved my studio.

Woah.
New years in Berlin is crazy.
I took some photos from my bedroom window:

Happy New Year!

Making pretty things.

I’ve been painting Allison Browning who is an Australian writer. You can see her work here: LINK!

I met Allison on my brief trip to Australia earlier this year – her house was full of beautiful things and she was really lovely to speak to and work with. I originally wanted to use this as a drawing but with the colours of her skin, dress and the other objects in this image made me change my mind – I felt it best to explore this image with paint.

I found this little photo at the markets on Bergmann Straße on Saturday mornings:

Here are a few drawings I have been working on lately. I have been exploring new textures and backgrounds as I usually just work with solitary figures. These drawings are a part of an extremely large and daunting project I have taken upon – I will write more about it later.

All drawings from this project are on 30 x 30cm pieces of water colour paper and all are drawn in fine liner pen.

“BlueCrib”

“Crawling”

“Marks”

It’s less than a month to Christmas!

It’s getting cold cold cold in Berlin and the sun is setting about 4PM. We have moved house again – this new place is a treasure. It’s in a very old building, I have eight flights of stairs to carry a baby up but we get allllllll of the light that this city has to offer at this time of the year.

Here are some photos I have taken of late:

Mitte.

PHIA in Hasen Heide on an Autumn afternoon.

Outside my front door I can check out my neighbors shoes.

Today Anja goes for a walk with her Daddy & Sam.

Will art write soon.

Here is the warm up poster for the Melodica festival – I went to a few and got to see people like Phia, Owls of the Swamp, Susanna Berivan and Ray Mann perform. Click on their names to listen to their tunes – all amazing and all very different .

Here is the poster for the actual festival.. Featuring a dancing fox, badge playing ukulele, a squirrel and a glockenspiel and a bunny playing tambourine:

They also printed the bunny on a bag:

Nat Grant, AKA Mellow Kitty, has released a new 6-track album featuring one of my little squirrels on it.

And last but not least, here’s a new little guy I did the other night. I’d write more but the internet has crashed so many times while trying to do this that I am fed up!

Bye!
