Hausu - The Piano Scene

Twin Sister's Kimmi In A Rice Field sort of indirectly reminds me of Hausu,  I really like the piano scene when things are beginning to get freaky.

A few sketches in progress ...

kaleidoscopic

I'm drawn to the work of Malene Landgreen if for no other reason than the pure simplicity of her colourful work. Each colour seems so perfectly complimentary to the next. (I also enjoying saying her name in my head, it sounds musical.)

The Wild And The Innocent

I took a visit to the AGO to check out a couple exhibits with a friend recently and one exhibit in particular that drew me was the Savage And Sublime featuring a collection of original mezzotint prints of works by George Stubbs.
Stubbs often created paintings depicting wild animals and lions attacking horses in particular.
A couple years ago now I created a few drawings that were meant to exemplify the different natures of animal behavior for a friend, two of these showing the attack of one animal on the other. If I get an opportunity I will post pictures of them at some point. Anyway, with a background in technical and scientific drawing and an affection for the intrinsic contradiction the more organic subjects such as plants and animals create when using these techniques I find that I am inherently drawn to Stubbs work. I think his work balanced the true anatomy of the animals and environments well with the wild and animated scenes of his imagination.

Girl In A Navy Dress

Over the holidays my wall of artwork needed some updating in order to adequately accommodate my newly cherished Vargas print (I was honored to received it as a present, how lucky am I?). I couldn't wait to re-arrange my wall to make it a focal point, but the puzzle wasn't as easy as I had hoped,  most of the frames are different sizes and in order to maintain a sense of movement I couldn't just shift them anywhere, it also appeared that one or two were posing as real obstacles because of their colour, size or style, I was left at one point with a big empty space. I resolved to take a few out of the equation and went in search of something new to put up. I found a spread that I had saved in an issue of Frankie Magazine from 2007 by Eveline Tarunadjaja, matted it, framed it and placed it up in the empty spot and found that it was the perfect fit. Eveline Tarunadjaja works from Melbourne, Australia and I find her pieces to be adorable and simple.

Here is an image of one angle of the wall:
