Kittys Drawings

Please excuse the poor quality photos! This is my complete portfolio – ready for my interview tomorrow. The red is such a nice colour – and I don’t know if you can see the grain of the fabric. Feels nice that

You’ve all seen most of the stuff that’s in there – I don’t particularly like much of my older stuff. And when I put it all together, its only about 14 things I’m really happy with that I’ll be showing. Though it’s all very diverse, which I am not sure if it is a good thing or not but I like to try my hand at lots of things!
There’s the Cult-of-Pop design, my vector kitty, the St Imre stuff, the latest drawing of the blonde girl, some magazine projects I did at school and the 3D renders. And what you can see here is my go at photography! Heh! Well, it’s not very clear. But I took these on a trip to a Yarra Glen classic car show. There were such great shapes and colours! Shiny!

ALSO – I had an idea today. For my next drawing. Which is wonderful when a creative moment strikes. Except I have so many other things to finish off (like that second model drawing which I HAVEN’T forgotten about!)….but the ‘vision’ struck me quite strong and I had to sketch immediately to get the feeling down and the shapes. So now it’s quite firm in my mind and I just have to refine it. I won’t tell you all what it is yet as I’ve got too much of a backlog of other stuff that you need to see the end of. Heh.
Well – til tomorrow, when I will have news of the interview…Ciao!

Just before I left for Tassie, the letter for the LIA Graduate Award nomination arrived in my letterbox. Yipee! Except that the time for the interviews was only two weeks away – on the 17th of THIS MONTH!

Cue mini freak-out.
Eep.

But really, its okay. I have been mentally preparing myself for this for a while now.
So – I got back to Melbourne with plenty of thoughts in my mind about what to put in my portfolio. I started compiling some images today in Illustrator. And then, on the advice of my friend, I rushed out and bought one of these this afternoon:

Check out the pretty colours these binders come in:

They come from Bookbinders Design, on Elizabeth Street in the CBD. Such beautiful things in the shop I can tell you! All the pretty colours and quality notebooks, binders, and other stationary – it’s a paper fiend’s heaven
I bought a bright red A3 folder and some plastic inserts to put my art in.
Hopefully the quality of such a binder will help me stand out from the others in the interview.

Oh – and more about the comp….Well I have to pass the Victorian state finalists, which is what this interview is about. If I win, I get to go to Sydney where they announce the winner of the $15,000. I really really hope I get to go to Sydney. The opportunity to set up my own business without incurring any debt is just too awesome! Eeeeeeeee!!!

Anyways…I will let you all know how the interview goes. I am not nervous at this stage actually – I don’t know if I will be at all. I am pretty confident about my technical skills at work and my plans for the future. But then, I have a tendency to be a little *awkward* in a face to face situation with people I don’t know very well. Oh dear. Well – See how it goes!

I’ll also put up my work on the Gallery section of this site when I’m done.
Ta ta for now
