My Foreign Life Right Now!

Phew, I have hanged the whole exhibition with the use of only one finger - one which was showing my dear husband where to hang the works on the walls of Tea Tree Tea! Luckily a divorce is not looming over even that the hanging took us longer then expected (all these coffees in between hammering the nails in!).

I promise to feature some images soon, too.

I am especially excited about the limited edition t-shirts. I am going to hand stitch some of the elements of the designs, to make them more unique, so pricing is still to be arranged. I was planning to open an Etsy shop soon anyway, so it will be great to roadtest the designs before that!

I hope that many of you will visit 13 Bread Street in August for the exhibition (I know that the time is precious during the Festival, but it is honestly, the friendliest place in Edinburgh! and there are going to be other attractions during all August weekends - like... mind reading! How cool is that!). See you there!

...exhibitions

I managed to print all the huuuuuges prints for the exhibition during last Friday at the college and pressure mount them - I still have all my fingers intact though it was a narrow escape...

The medium size ones are already in nice, wooden frames (see the image) and the official opening is scheaduled for next week - I will be hanging the whole exhibition in Tea Tree Tea in 13 Bread Street, Edinburgh on Sunday. I am still not sure when and if at all prepare an official opening.

Scottish blend

I am preparing two big horizontal illustrations for the biggest walls of the exhibition space. Horizontal format is a tricky one and so far I came up with very obvious solutions only - like Edinburgh's skyline featured in this drawing. Any ideas?

As usual - please do click on the image to see it bigger!

Mercedes at the ZOO

Mercedes the polar bear will be soon leaving the Edinburgh Zoo to live in much bigger enclosure. When I saw her recently I was wondering what she was actually thinking about all these people photographing her all the time?

Cooling down

Last week was extremely busy but a sudden eruption of summer helped with keeping up a good mood. It has been extremely hot in Edinburgh recently so let's tak a plunge to cool down!

Amy one more time

I really hope she will manage to sort out her life one day - even for the sake of not writing any more beautiful, sad songs.

HMS Illustrious

What a coincidence.

My Foreign Life

I have started working on the material for my first illustration exhibition in Edinburgh! Next months are going to be really busy!

The show is entitled 'My Foreign Life' and I hope that all the images will form a strong portfolio when shown together.

Amy is going to be a part of the bigger work featuring several British musicians.
