A cartoon mashup I drew in Procreate.. I have been incredibly unwell and so drawing in bed has really been all I have managed to do the last couple of months… this is Jem from the 80s show Jem and the Holograms…reimagined as a woman from today… I was a huge fan of the show growing up… I’m currently reading one of my favourite authors Brett Easton Ellis new book why is set in the 80s totally taking me back to this amazing era … Framing works for the upcoming Modern Lovers show.. with @xak_and_baba at @dollhousegallerybrunswick I frame my work in layers because I paint in reverse on acetate and some artworks like the Dangerous Woman have multiple layers.. all need to be box framed to show the depth and shadows that painting on plastic can give… unfortunately I’m waiting for more frames in the post as there’s a shortage everywhere!! You can see in this reel that the reverse side is all messy … imagine if you could see the back of a canvas painting… but my technique is to paint totally in reverse with the tiniest details like the pupils put down first .. the complete opposite of normal painting… once you have started building up the layers there’s no going back to fix it! And because I work with gouache if you go over a section it can reactivate the paint underneath and you end up with mud ! So I have to work in sections and pray that the blend lines are smooth! - [x] Working on porcelain figurines for the upcoming Modern Lovers exhibition at Dollhouse Gallery Brunswick with @xak_and_baba I’m using paper clay, epoxy and trying to make the mini metal rings with florist wire .. I got bob’s automative glue all over my fingers 🤣… think I’m going to have mini bondage paraphernalia attached to me over the coming week 🤣 Toddlerpillar project I’m also working on… these soft vinyl toddlerpillars were designed by The My Little Phoney blank begins… Another project I’m working on… the My Little Phoney Project… I’m going to attempt to turn mine into My Little Uhu Glue or Clag Pot Pony… since growing up I was told ponies were sent to the glue factory when they had reached their expiry date and I absolutely love horsies and I’m appalled by the treatment many of them get at the end of their lives! Raised on the tit of tragic 70/80s romance…idolising the dysfunctional relationships of the silver screen and the tragic 80s ballads blaring from the boom box… my fate was sealed…my child and teenage idolatry of the heroines and heroes became a self fulfilling prophecy which led to a tumultuous series of love entanglements which are unpacked through the art displayed in this exhibition by me and @xak_and_baba offering myself up as sacrifice to the gods and goddesses of love… baring my heart and soul in hope of redemption… join us this Valentine’s Day for a night of entertainment and revelry… Hit me with your best shot … My Toy Story comic style…
