More Purchases

We went to the 'Spring Fling' sale at I Dress Myself (Eco-friendly screen printers) in Nottingham at the weekend and invested in some more artwork.

We bought 6 screen prints by Jon Burgerman that caught our eye, all are misprints but we think that just makes them more individual. The print that is on cardboard is even signed by him! Now we've just got to buy some frames and decide where to hang them all.





New work!

Here's a photo of one of my latest paintings, entitled 'Eggstrodinary'.

It's a whimsical, light-hearted piece depicting an egg wistfully dreaming of becoming extraordinary.

The idea behind the piece was to create something that was visually captivating whilst keeping the imagery simple but striking.

Purchased

This is the most recent piece of art-work that I've purchased and I LOVE him! He's a custom Munny (specifically a 'Raffy') created by the fantastic Stu Witter and Jon Burgerman.

He was part of a group of 5 customs and unfortunately my bank balance couldn't stretch to buy all of them.

This picture is entitled 'Emotionally Inadequate' and is by the amazing Jon Burgerman. It was one of the first pieces of art-work we purchased when my boyfriend and I bought our house. It's from a gallery in Nottingham called Cuadros and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it (actually I almost walked into the window of the gallery trying to get a better look).

Its a one-off Posca pens on paper creation that is now hanging in the hall so it's the first thing everyone see's when they come in.
