Work in Progress - Drawing

 

I have been attending some life drawing sessions here in Paris. I'm trying to develop my drawing technique by first getting the basics covered. I intend to use my sketches in more developed compositions in future, and I'm exploring the possibilities of lithography. (any advice greatly appreciated).

Thanks to Jane for encouraging us to post work in progress.

Thank you Jane for your last post, a very good idea you had ! Also, I am wondering when is exactly the deadline about "Gods and monsters", because I have a project (I know, I am very late). Thank you for an answer. Germain

Ranelagh Zine Fair

Hi everybody I recieved this email (copied and posted below) from Sarah Bracken who organised the Zine Fair in Ranelagh. A good place to have some Zines and future Zines, and maybe some of you own!.

 

 

Thank you all so much for a great day at the Dublin Zine Fair, really enjoyed it, hope you all did too.

I meant to say this to you all on the day but never got the chance.

 

I am starting an independent publishing section in the Ranelagh Arts Centre Shop and would love if you left some publications in with us to sell.

The arts centre would take 15% of the selling price so factor this into your pricing.

Let me know if you are interested.

I'd need you to drop the zines in and fill in a sale or return form, with a blurb about the publication for us to put with it on the shelf.

 

Feel free to ask any questions,

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Sarah

New Member has Breaking News

Hi everyone! My name is Richael and I joined Tinderbox a little while back but never had anything to share, until now!
As you all know, Tinderbox had a space at the Dublin Zine 3 weekends ago, and it was a wonderful success. I was also there, along with Jane, another Tinderbox member and Elida. As a result of handing out my own business cards over the weekend, I will now have a stall at the up and coming Ranelagh Fest Craft Fair this weekend, the 17th and 18th of September.
So, I just thought I would share the news incase anyone is interested in getting a stall, or just want to pop down for a wee peep at what is going on in the world of craft. For anyone who was at the zine fair, I'm making a lot of new work for the craft fair, so just because you saw me, don't think that's all I have up my sleeve !
The craft fair is being held in the Ranelagh Multi-Denominational School, located on the Ranelagh Road each day from 11-5. It's free in and you can find out further information from the facebook page Creative Collective Ireland.
