One of my favourite artists - new website

© Audrey Kawasaki 2007

Audrey Kawasaki has just launched her new site with, quite possibly, some of the most beautiful and inspirational paintings that have ever graced my eyes.

i had to drop this in here as i've been looking forward to this site launch for a long long time, her work and skill with a paintbrush really hits the spot.

one day i'll own one of her paintings... on my list of things to own before i die... haha.

couldnt resist

i'm sure many people will have seen it but watching the keynote speech for the new apple iphone is pretty amazing...

setting standards higher than i think anyone could have thought with this product... cant wait for apple developments for the next 30 years... and to get my mitts on one at some point, judging from the reaction from the crowd, it might take 30 years to get hold of one...

the year ahead

right then,

just a quickie to fill you in on my plans of new work for 2007.

first off, i've just bought myself a nice shiny circular saw to get cracking on some new installations i have up my sleeve, these (hopefully) will incorporate printing, painting, perspex and some use of lighting... oh yeah and wood which is the main part of the idea, nice wood at that.

i should be digging up the old american dreamer woodblock out and actually getting a quality run of the prints done on a super new printing press at OK Studios. some full colour and some black versions.

more woodblocks will be surfacing over the course of 2007, as i would like to experiment with multi coloured prints with a number of woodcuts to make up a single piece, thenly problem with woodcuts is the time to cut them out... or should i say patience, haha...

kuroworld will actually happen sometime this year, it's been nearly 3 in the making and after the shitty year i had last year and the lack of funds i never got chance to get it off the ground as i had planned. got a bit of cash i'm putting aside for materials so after a few more months of saving i might actually get round to moulding and casting some of the little blighters, a bit more work needs to go into the production run numbers and how far i want to take them... i wanted to make a buttload of them but now i'm thinking of only turning out a small number... see how the demand goes when i get some in my hands... they will happen, i'll be dammed if they take another year!

tshirts, prints and other things as well... got some furniture i want to make for my house n'all... so that should keep me going into 2010.... haha as well as the day job... the sooner the government introduces the 3 day weekend the better.

take it easy.

flippin blogs

right, methinks i've managed to sort out the problems i had with the blogger thing... as you can see if you're a regular then i've changed the format back to the original template till i can get my head round the content changes properly.

i'll sort it asap... oh yeah and a Happy New Year to you all.

it's gonna be a good one.
