"Kathleen Sawyer majored in Printmaking at Rhodes University, but her main focus is on drawing. Her book arts have been exhibited in the 2013 Absa Atelier and not many places else. She likes hideous skin diseases and horrible death."

This is literally all I wrote as my bio for the art auction I submitted to.

I need to get better at this.

Have some zombie girls.

Dear Kathleen, we came across your anatomy artwork on Street anatomy and thought your work was amazing! We are wondering if you would like to get involved with our charity anatomy art event - Anatomy For Life in support of organ donation & transplant research in the UK (8th-14th July)? International submissions are welcome and we would love to have your contribution. Please take a look at our page for more info. Many thanks! - Conrad (Anatomy For Life organiser)

I would love to contribute; thank you. Will get to it as soon as I can. 

Possibility of prints?

So I’ve had a couple of requests about the making and selling of prints. I have made prints in the past, but these have been more of a ‘once off” where I have been commissioned by someone and then only made one copy of the image for that person (keeping the original for my portfolio).

Because I live in a small town and am required to travel about 150km in order to get to the nearest decent studio, I have not really built up a stock of art in order to sell. However, because of recent interests I am considering doing a small run of editions to test the proverbial waters. Which artworks would you like to see in printed form? Which prints would you buy? Do reply with a title/link so I know exactly what you’re talking about.

Feedback would be wonderful. Thank you~

A little preview of what I’m working on.at the moment. It’s been taking a long time as I have to balance it with all my schoolwork as well … Hoping to submit it to some upcoming exhibition.

Thanks friends.

Absa L'Atelier

The news piece on our university’s Facebook page about the candidates whose work made it through the first selection process for the Absa exhibition.

I told my family about this a while back, yet somehow it is only ‘official’ once they see it on facebook. now they are calling to congratulate me as if they didn’t hear of it almost a month ago

mello-dramatic:

Everyone who reblogs this will get the title of a book to read based on their bio/posts.

Everyone. I mean it.

Please.

Your work is extraordinary. I saw your entry at the Anne Bryant Gallery in East London. I hope you win the competition. For me its something special.

Thank you for the kind words; my own hopes are limited to wanting to through the next round of judging. But I would very much like to place within the competition. Many thanks for taking the time to view my work.

So my little books were selected to be part of this kind of big-deal national exhibition. Now hopefully they make it through the next round.
