Yun Perez is an amazing talented Melbourne artist (I really loved her exhibition Mex-tli, Mexican Goddesses). When she needed a new portrait for a article being written about her in Latin Stories Australia, I jumped at the chance. We had great fun throwing balls of wool around the studio. I’m not sure how long it took Yun to de-tangle them but they looked great in the shoot and she intends to use some of them in a future work she is creating. Yun’s website can be found here Article which she appeared in is on the Latin Stories Website  

So I’ve been kinda quiet of late…. Here is one of the latest additions to the family and he is called Neelix (yes from Star Trek!) 🙂 Isn’t he cute! We actually took two kittens home on boxing day, we also have at home his slightly bigger brother which our flatmate adopted. They are both rescue kitties from Ingrids Cat Haven. Ingrids haven can be found here!

I must say, this was such a fun assignment for school. It took a bit of practice to get it right, the paint consistency had to be perfect. You had to get the paint jumping in the first couple of seconds… Of course my first round of experimentation whilst messy and fun, didn’t yield the results I had seen others do online. Round two and instead of poster paint, slightly more expensive gouache paint and a lot less paint, which as a benefit meant not as much mess! I think it was pretty successful experiment.

Spotted in Preston while I was riding my faux-retro faux-fixie bike on the way to the food van. Ah hipster ville…
