i love uni

girl on girl

I met up with some people at the pub the other day. they were already a little lubricated, and, to my knowlege had just been out painting.
Anyway. i got there and was sat down and asked a very serious question. one that im not too sure i can answer.. so ive decided to put it out into the public forum...
undoubtedly, some of you may have wondered about this before, as i have. Mainly, though, because I am a facilitator of this mystery....


i was asked "claire... why do chick painters always draw girls?"
which is totally something i have wondered about. As i pretty much only draw girls.
I cannot answer it...

I was thinking of some artists that i know of that are chicks. who pretty much specialise in chicks...
Audrey Kawasaki...

her shit is off tap!
Her ladies are fucking beautiful and mysterious and soft and lovely.

We have Melbournes own DEB

once more with some pretty ladies.
we have France's Fafi
Mishap from melbourne also!


a terrible photo of one of my ladies...


Texas Betty...

there ya go..

just a small sample of the lovely ladies drawing lovely ladies.
And it is a beautiful thing!
each one had their own unique style- which is super important. but as to WHY chicks draw chicks.... I dont have a fucking clue.

ART TIP- drewfunk

k. so. Drew. Drew Drew Drew.
known to hang out at Workshop as his studio is just around the corner..
let me tell you a little about drew

Drew is our resident Malaysian born Illustrator/Artist at workshop.
Drewfunk quit his full time design job to follow his dreams. (painting and shit).
Drew draws his inspirations from the city streets whilst staying true to his oriental heritage and has been known to have an aerosol addiction.* drewfunk.com

so it turns out his is doing some live painting at workshop this sunday...



here is a taste....




clearly a master of his trade!!

i asked Drew a few questions about his life, loves and... other shit.

so, whats your story drewfunk??
Painting, sketching, eating, drinking & having funs the story.

 hey drew. you can draw real good. how long have you been at
 it?
ever since i was 5, mum bought me a box of crayons...
a few days later the whole house was my canvas. Thats
when she noticed her son liked to draw.
She bought Disney cartoons after that.
 What are you working on at the moment?
i'm on my 13th piece for my Solo show at Sydney, 5 more to go.

 Who would you say has influenced you the most in your
 illustration?
I never really was interested in illustrations.
It was more geeky then fun, spraypaint is fun. But i think
Spawn &  spider man comics got me into drawing more a few
years ago. I'm in interested in flow or organics.

 coffee or beer?
Coffee in the arvo & beer in the evening, YO! we're in
Melbourne.. thats like the Blood of the city. No?
 
 belton or montana?
Beltons for sure, but since theres non in Melbourne now,
montana Gold's my next choice.
 Any final words?
Come and smell my fumes on Sunday.
