WE SOLD OUR KENT TOGETHER

Recently Matt & I sold our first piece together at Freebrains, a group exhibition in at SJS Gallery in Fitzroy.

His name, is 'Kent'.








KINFOLK


My new little project, well not so new. My beautiful friends Asuka and Jarrod invited me to create and paint the walls of their new cafe Kinfolk in the early days of March. It's been a few months now, and although it may look kind of sheer, there's been so many hours invested so far. I won't write much now, but basically the Cafe is a non-profit ball of joy and has four countries and charity based organisations to allocate your coffee money to. It was built and is operated by volunteers and most of the equipment they're using for service was donated to them. Up and coming artists from the Melbourne area have donated artwork and splashed live work onto the walls providing a quaint artists hub and energy which it certainly isn't short of! It's been a lot of hard work, and so many amazing people helping out, so we thought it'd be quite apt, to run the theme...'Giving an arm and a leg' as the mural's voice. It's truly been, so far, and incredible surge of excitement to see Kinfolk lift off the ground so smoothly. My boyfriend Matt has gotten involved and we've been working together for the first time which has been so beautiful. So here are a few of the 'really ordinarily shot' photographs of what we've been up to.

This makes me happy.



AAAAAAAARRRRGH! TDR I ALMOST HAD YOU!


THIS is a prime example of why you must haggle your damn mac until the death when bidding on ebay for it's 'sometimes delicious providitives'.

THIS is what I irresponsibly failed to secure for my boyfriend as a surprise.
A vintage 1994 Emigre magazine #29 designed by The Designers Republic. AMAZING!!!! These babies are highly sort after little gems and can fetch up to $400 these days, and guess how much it sold for on ebay?...... $51!!!! It's murder to my brain. Urgh. My boyfriend was in the room. I logged on after he left. It was too late. It was far too late. It was gone. Long gone......
