A Quote to Live By

Posted in artists, illustration, painting, Uncategorized by

This year as part of a wonderful group I’m involved with we decided to find a quote for our studio wall and create an artwork based on it. I’m interested in finding out my purpose with drawing, find out why I’m here, and what energizes me to keep going. I found this quote by Susan Sontag,

“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. stay eager.” Susan Sontag

Here is my artwork, which I’ve also made into a giclee print for anyone else that would like it for their wall too….quotejessracklyeft

By coincidence while I was posting this, I’ve been listening to this inspiring podcast by Andy Pizza: http://www.creativepeptalk.com/episodes/2017/1/12/116-unlock-your-true-potential – have a listen on your next art making session to get revved up for the year.

Posters for Movies By Burswood

Posted in art, artists, commissions by

Awhile back I did a little Christmas call out for drawings for charities – it led to some really fun projects, including this one. Movies by Burswood (who donates all profits to children’s charities) is run by over 600 volunteers, and they wanted to celebrate them through a series of posters, 2 of the 3 designs are below. You can re-pin via Pinterest and help spread the word.
