... to Niki Fisher who initially wanted to be a fashion designer because 'I would only draw women' - word. She ended up an fashion illustrator. Not sure about those heels tho...
I've spent so much time finding women designers, illustrators etc and not enough time posting, that I'm gonna send a few out in this post. So, check these ladies out, you know you want to!

I don't normally profile a studio but I like Suzanne's philosophy... well, in true narcissistic fashion, it's rather like mine but she manages to pull all her collecting and curious exploring together into finished pieces. I'm still struggling with that concept!
I remember the first time I visited this site over a year or so ago and was surprised at how many of the pieces they'd done were in my pile(s) of collected design work. One day I'll sort them out too.

...to Jen Funlap. Wicked drawings made by taking out the inside of textas (or markers to you non Aussies), soaking them in water and applying them directly to paper. Sounds like so much messy fun!

Great collages of what comes a close second to pussy: birds.

...to the female Pintubi artists who are having an exhibition opening tonight in Alice Springs.
I don't know if this image and artist is included in the exhibition but it gives you some idea of the style of some of the work:

Western Desert art is probably my favourite style of Austrailan Aboriginal Art, it has a graphical quality that appeals to me as a designer. Further information can be found at the Art Gallery of NSW and if you do a google search of Papunya Tula it returns quite a few results.
...to Danielle Aubert
What I love about her work is the idea of collecting and collating information and stuff in a methodical and research like manner in some cases and pulling it all together to create an artwork.
For example:
$100 Exchange Project - Monetary value is somewhat
arbitrary, and in this project I wanted to see (a) how many discreet objects
I could buy for $100 without buying more than one object per store and
(b) what a $100 collection of objects purchased in New Haven would look
like. I spent $100 at various merchants around the New Haven and gathered
a collection of $100 worth of small things. After I finished spending
the $100 I determined that the average price for an item in the collection
was $1.15. I organized a stoop sale to sell the objects for either
$1.15 or to exchange them for an object of equal value, with the understanding
that the total value of my collection would always be $100. I recorded
each transaction with a receipt and created a book documenting the transformation
of the original $100 bill into a shifting collection of objects.

Love it! Feeling all inspired to go home and sort out my collection of STUFF and make something of it like i've planned to do for the last... ohhh.... 6 years!
