Why Hello & Welcome!

Thu Jan 28, 2010, 12:54 AM
I've been on this here DeviantArt for 6 years now. Wow, how time flies. Seems like only yesterday when I was a Visual Arts undergraduate with stars & faeries in her eyes. Oh, if only she knew!

I've got a lot of ambition for this year. Last year was an absolute bust and I'm pretty sure that most of my old watchers on here have lost faith and forgotten about me :P but I'm still here, and I'm still producing work. I neglect to upload anything but the finished pieces which of late, have all been pretty substandard according to my own discernment. I am my harshest critic, be assured.

I'm dabbling a bit in photography these days too- not sure I'll submit any of that stuff though :P I'm getting one of those lomography cameras- the Diana mini- anyone else a fan of those?

I've got a website back up & running again, thanks to the cool daportfolio thing. It's [link] which basically redirects to my daportfolio, so nothing fancy. But still! It's a start and it's better than nothing.

I've been enquiring here and there about getting organised for a solo exhibition because I've been hoarding my art and refusing to sell it. Cos you know, people beating down my door and all. Nothing has really bounced back yet but certainly, I should be using a louder voice. Got to check that box! Which means, I've got to also work harder. It's a struggle fitting it in with everything else though.

And elsewhere...

I have a music project which has been sucking a lot of creative energy away from painting- we call ourselves The Discordians, we're a two piece electro outfit and it's a little silly but a lot of fun. I'd love for you to come check my music out!

Do you use Twitter? I do... I'm 'quellerette' there, come follow :)

And of course livejournal, I'm 'quellerette' there too. Is 'amberfishy' dying out? I'm not sure. Might be a good thing. I like to use butterfly analogies for everything and all.

Just checked out your gallery and I must say I love your style :D it has alot of funk and pop to it while still keeping that traditional art feel to it. Keep up the awesome work :D
