New: Brooches! Fish eye photos...& moving house

My foray into the world of jewellery continues with this brooch, handmade from remnants of unwanted random objects I have found/sourced/procured. Click the image to see it full size!



This has all been inspired by the fact that I can never find jewellery or accessories that I like....and Im sure Im not the only one out there!
More to come, but for now, this one is available on etsy. Just search for 'kate kamikaze' :)

I will be moving house in the next week or so, and even now as I type I am surrounded by boxes and bags of clothes. There is an internet connection where Im moving, and, hopefully it will be a case of just connecting my mac to it :)
If not, fret not, I will be updating my twitter with any art news via my bashed and battered mobile phone. Old skool.

Meanwhile, here are some pictures I took yesterday with my fish eye camera of the west pier...will I ever tire of its ugly, desolate and ghostly beauty? Unlikely.

Front cover for The Brighton Source Bat For Lashes feature;

Those of you in Brighton will be seeing this all over town as of today;



brightonsource.co.uk

Ive had illustrations published before, but Ive never done a cover before, so this is very exciting for me. For those not aware, The Source is the definitive culture listings magazine for Brighton, and its free, so why not go pick up a copy in your nearest bar, cafe or venue and youll also be picking up a little peice of me. ;)
Thanks to james for the experience!
If youre just finding this page because of the magazine, then Hi! This blog is where I keep everyone up to date with sketches, paintings, ideas and things that get published and printed.
I update using my Twitter and Im also on facebook.

Lots of new work coming up!

Twittering, sketches and museums

Still rather enjoying the incentive to create Twitter is giving me. You can follow me and my painty adventures if you so wish: http://twitter.com/katekamikaze

Just finished a gig poster for my bands next gig, inspired by recent trips to the taxidermy museum (click for full size picture):



Im also working on some sketches and ideas for a tshirt Ive been asked to design for a really cool little company called Oort. www.oortmedia.net
More to come of course. Click to see full size.




Ive also started purchasing parts for a new, experimental crafty project. All secretive for now, in case it all goes wrong. If not, youll see it here soon. ;)

Twitter twitter twitter...

Just a quick update to say I now have a Twitter you can follow: http://twitter.com/katekamikaze

Ill only be updating with art-related things, and Im hoping it will give me more incentive to work, so I actually have things to twitter about.
