Sketches & Constellations

I stayed at home today because I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I thought now would be a good time to update my etsy store. I've added my new zine (pictured here) as well as a compilation pack of all three of my zines which includes an A3 poster of my newest painting (which is the one at the top), and a reprint of Woodland Ladies, featuring a new pastel blue cover!

I also thought I'd show you a few of my favourite pages from my sketchbook. I've been trying to use it a lot more and I'm slowly getting back into the habit! I'd like to eventually start adding colour to my sketches as well seeing as the pages are made from watercolour paper!

Suitcase Rummage, Woodland Christmas Tags and Forest Cat

Hello everyone! I'm going to selling a bunch of stuff at the suitcase rummage this sunday for real cheap (under $25) including:
- original artworks (the ones pictured here)
- prints
- my new zine
- cards
- brooches
- necklaces
- Lavander cats

It's at Reddacliffe Place (at the top of Queen Street mall) and goes from 12pm - 4pm. If you live in Brisbane you should come along and say hello (or buy some stuff ha ha)

I've also designed a couple of christmas tags (which I've been wanting to do since last year but never got around to doing until now) which are available as a printable pdf in my shop if you wanted to buy them.

As you can see in my new paintings I've recently started working with a new bolder/earthier colour pallet. I quite like how they turned out (especially the girl with the sketch book) Also, this paintings are much smaller than I'm used to, only A5! I quite like working in this smaller size though.

Oh! Also I'm now on instagram and twitter (both are @gracetaylor art) if you would like to follow me :)

Zine!

I made a zine. It's called "Woodland Ladies" and it's a little collection of drawings and comics about animal ladies who live in the woods. You can get it from my etsy if you like.

Every Day It's The Same (and realism)

I finished a new artwork (a bigger more coloured version of the girl from my sketchbook) as well as some more realistic pencil drawings for my portfolio (I figured it couldn't hurt to have an indication of my technical skills))

Ours and Yours

Here are the pictures I did for "Ours and Yours"*. It was such a lovely night with beautiful calm music (My favourites were Winter Solstice and The Forty Thieves) and a really cosy atmosphere with lanterns and lamps and cushions all over the floor.  

* I will be selling the remaining pictures in my shop

Campfire

I've been really busy lately with university assessments and stuff, so I haven't really had time to make art or update my blogs or anything in the last two weeks, but I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures I've been working on. The bottom two are for the poster of an event I'm involved in, and the first one was just for fun!
