I was originally planning to take a big holiday and not make any art at all. But guess what, art making was all I could think about! The more I told myself to take a break, the more I found myself wanting to make art. So here's what's been going on at my desk this morning. That's until I got a bit carried away and spilled paint water all over my desk and lap top! Oops!
I've been job hunting as well, but no jobs on the market for an artist. Sigh. I hope maybe by some luck or something, illustration jobs open up for me next year and that I can afford to pay my rent and buy groceries through freelance work. We'll see how it goes. Till then, I'm in the midst of a new little project, which was meant to only begin next year but I'm too excited about it, I'm already starting to plan and make tiny sketches. It's going to be a little recipe book, filled with different yummy recipes by 25 super creative people! And of course, lots of nice drawings and cute things to read about each artist, designer, shop owner, crafter, and so on! It's going to be fun and really delicious I think!
More on that in the coming year!
The plans look wonderful! It would be such a great project to take part in.
ReplyDeleteGood-curatorial-luck!
you're such a good worker! I hope you're laptop is ok though...
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions on purchasing art supplies like water colors (like the ones you have in the picture) or oil paint? Brand names or just from experience?
ReplyDeletethanks :)
glad you made such wonderful pieces, despite you having to compromise your break for it :)
ReplyDeletethe next project look excited :)
ReplyDeleteJob hunting for the design and artist job is really hard :( I'm really scare when is my turn :S
oh dear, hope your laptop is feeling better from the spill. and good luck with the job search.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe book project sounds perfect! I'm sure it will be beautiful and look forward to seeing it eventually :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing more about your wonderful publication. I am sure you won't be job hunting for long- you are too talented! :)

ReplyDeleteHello, this is the first time that I am writing this comment.
ReplyDeleteSince your work was introduced in Frankie magazine, I am constantly checking you blog. I love reading and see your works.
I understand there is no precise art job for artists. I am a freelance photographer but the other hand I have to work for a crapy "kind of art" job. Focusing earning money and getting enough budget, I can go freelancing again though, the circumstances are pretty much pessimistic. But trying hard to keep showing what you are doing and keep up with the art world is very important. (For me, photography world.) Frankly that is really hard though...
Please follow your heart and continue doing what you are doing. I love your work.
I am very lucky to have a chance to leave a comment on your blog after what you wrote today. Thank you. Bit encouraged.
Hopefully looking forward to see your real work and you someday!
Best,
What a very nice project!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best!
Miss Dawn,

what a lovely project! can't wait to see the progress on your recipe book!
ReplyDeleteand don't despair about the job hunt, dream jobs seem to be hard to find (trust me). my tip would be to find something that pays well and hopefully allows you the time and flexibility to work on your art so that one day it can be your full time gig. best of both worlds - you can pay your rent AND draw pretty things!
Hello Ms D,
ReplyDeleteSaw your work, in frankie magazine, lent it to a friend, forgot about it, and yesterday chanced upon your blog from Raging Yoghurt's. Such a happy find! I've been trawling your past entries too. It makes me so glad to read your observations and about stuff you make. Rock on! I've linked to you on my blog, by the way. Thanks for making my day. Will continue visiting!
I love pictures of artist's workspaces. Sounds like a fun project! Can't wait to see more in the future.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how much I love your artworks! You have your own unique style and it's soooo lovely. I really hope you get a job because you're so passionate you'd be a GOOD teacher!! :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could do some illustration classes? :)
Your an inspiration to me really! I want to do Graphic design or illustration when I leave high school. I love your blog and your really sweet :)
