The development and scanning begins

I am home. And judging from my mail waiting for me, I have been in Australia a year. Went fast! I have started to scan the negatives from the photos I took while I was away. So far, I only have the black and white films. See the rest of the images either on Lomography or Flickr

Didn't realise what day it was...

I realised just two days ago that I was flying out on Wednesday, not Thursday. Stupid. Makes me feel like the time is too short now to do what I want to do (mainly see people). We go to Paris tomorrow.

I started really working on the pieces for Once Upon, and am feeling better about them. The first one was a warm up I guess. So above is a little sneak preview. Back to work, Paris awaits and I'm not sure how much work I am going to do there. Probably, if i am realistic, none.

Carl Stalling influences moleskine creation

Carl Stalling influences moleskine creation.

I am in my second week in France. I have finished this moleskine and am almost done with Kerstin's. I still haven't started my "Three Billy goats Gruff" for the Once Upon Exhibition. In fact it is stewing in my head and I am starting to get a little stressed about it. I bought some paper to start it the other day, and I think I am going to have to buy some other paper, as I am concerned about the size and that I'll go overboard and forget it needs to be A5. So, starting with an A5 to begin with is a better idea. In between those thoughts, we have Finders Keepers and the organisation of my stall, items and the thing hanging over my head... public liability insurance. I don't understand what people could do on a stall of art, perhaps poke their eye out with a postcard? I find the whole not taking responsibility for your own actions baffling, but that is how it is.

It is starting to get a bit stressful that my Etsy store is closed too... I think I am going to reopen it soon.

moleskines galore!

Moleskine Exchange 6 & 71

Feel like I have been sitting in the house since getting to France. At least I can draw and paint without people asking me what I am doing. Bonus!

Moleskine Exchange 71... back in business

Have arrived in France to find two moleskines waiting for me. I have this one of Marty's with his all over screen printing, which is interesting as I see images within the ink mixing and am happily creating images whilst listening to Carl Stalling (the man who created the music for the Warner Bros. cartoons, which is the choice of music for this moleskine).
The other is Kersten's Tribute to Edward Gorey, and I think I have an idea for this one too.

Strange to be in France, almost like I never left.
