.Update.

Ok! so a quick update on what I've been up to since my last blog.
I watched the film Arthur and got really inspired to want to get my kids books published ( wonder why ) but anyway.

So the weeks after that i worked like crazy to get my Timmy book finished, then i spent 3 days after that researching in to kids book publishers that take on unsolicited manuscripts.

NEXT! I wrote a manuscript then posted 6 out to selected publishers. So far i have had three back, one saying they love my story but the illustrations don't fit with there work, and two saying thanx but no thanx good luck with your work.

This alone is awesome because publishers rarely even look at unsolicited maunscripts :) and getting the rejection letters back only makes me want to work harder at getting my work published. So now I'm plodding on!

..oh and in the mean time, I painted this :D

.Creative.Cv.

Hi! No idea why I said hi because I'm not talking to anyone! Anyways I'm gonna tell yah bout some creative stuff I've been doing. I realised yesterday that I've not done much 'art wise' in the last few days, so I decided to re-cap my CV and make it more creative looking and personal to project the real me. Here is the basic image and info of it :) Available to download on my website http//:www.wix.com/bex_eden/bex-eden-illustration

Let me know what yah think, is everything on there that's need to know?

.Gravity.Defying.Fluffball.

..Carrying on with 'Kidz'n'Pets this is the last image I created before I decided to give my self some time off from art to re-syke my mojo. I'm going to do an experiment with this image and paint it in a different technique to see which looks better, which ever one works best is the style i will be continuing with.

.The.Finished.Image.

Remember a while back I said I was work on a HUGE painting? well 'big' painting, I don't usually do them this big. Anyway! so far I've only posted snippets of pictures and photo's of it but now I've finally finished it :) So below is the finished piece!.

This picture was started as a thing to keep me going on the creative stuff while I had a art block, now that it's finished I'm considering entering it in to the Ferrens open exhibition.

Spray.Painting.Day.One

The previous post tell of the image i have been doodling as an idea for the spray painting, this is the actual thing..well the stages of it. This is my first time trying to use spray paints and I've decided to go all out with the colour thing, the jabberwocky looks more like a dragon but i'm happy with the over all effect the spray paint is having so far. A lot of work and outlining parts need to be done along with a bit more high lighting, but that will continue on Monday, for now this is as far as I got!

.Attempt.Two.

Attempt.Two

After discovering some of the frames stuck out further then the others there was a suggested option of scraping the nails and going with industrial strength Velcro instead. Also the images on my wall had been moved closer together to create a more focus on the group of pictures rather then one picture at a time. The Velcro worked for a while but being expensive and in short supply it had to be spread out and made to last which didn't work well as I resulted in breaking a frame when it fell off the wall. I had already broken and repairers 3 frames previously and didn't want to have to fix any more. So over the weekend I will search for alternative solutions to my problem.

Final.Exhibition.Preparations.

The Chaos of Preparing.

The time has come to put up and sort out my final exhibition at Hull College. My previous blog was showing how i would like to layout my wall, this one shows how it all looks ON the wall. Just a single nail for each picture, but first I drew them all out on paper the nailed through the paper while it was on the wall so I got them all in the right places. In these picture they are hung on the wall but not all of them are straight yet and still lots of mess about, but I think it's looking good! Organised Chaos :)
