A4 Art Australia Exhibition

Quick extra post as I forgot to put this in the previous one (oops!)

I have two artworks available at the A4 Art Australia exhibition which starts tomorrow. It's organised by the Contemporary Art Society of Victoria, and this year there are 178 artists involved with over 480 artworks. I won't be able to get to the opening, but hopefully will be able to visit the exhibition while it's on and get a few photos :)

All the details are below.

Friday reflection

This week I've been working on a few new projects. 

At the end of last week I painted and cut out a lot of circles for new mini cards, and spent some time sketching new mushrooms and flowers to draw on them. I'm currently taking photos of each to list on MadeIt and Etsy, which should be up early next week.

 
Coloured circles! (Finished pieces further down.)

 
Flower ideas, some for the mini cards and some I'll expand into larger artworks.

 
Mushrooms :D
Some worked, some are absolutely terrible.

This week I finished making up the mini cards, finished cutting out my kingfisher which now just needs some detail added and to be mounted/framed, started making some top hats, and prepared some wood for a few artworks I want to work on next week.

Photo from mid-week with some finished cards and some unfinished works.

More cards and part of a canvas I started.

Changes

So I renamed my blog.



I've been wanting to do some game blogging for a while, and was planning on blogging about my art and games on the same site. But I never started the game posts because it always felt weird to have them mixed together. So I've bitten the bullet and decided to keep them separate.

My art posts will be under joyphillipsartist.blogspot.com (here), where I hope to be able to focus more each week and do a few tutorials or link to tutorials I've been inspired by.
My new game blog is under my old blog name tigratho.blogspot.com which is brand new today, so bare with me while I make it look a bit prettier! I'll be doing an introduction post over there in the next day or two.

And with the breakup there will be a few small visual changes here, but nothing major. Hopefully a lot more arty posts each week though as my aim is to really focus on my art now that I've finished all my planned commission work.
