Greetings all,
It was a bit of a relaxed night on the 2nd thanks to the music (a combination of Nirvana Unplugged, the Raconteurs, Phoenix and M83) and slightly reduced numbers, but there was still some great work to come out of having Andrew in. It was also great to see some faces of people who haven’t been in in awhile. Next week we’ll be having Lindsay in who we haven’t had in for awhile so that will be great.

Greetings all,
Well the sessions will be starting up again on the 2nd since our last session with Ruth (who was fantastic but sadly won’t be in again as she is moving to Europe to travel around there in a circus as a performer… I kid you not, I was actually giddy to be talking to someone who had the kind of job that as a kid I was always told I could never be {though in hindsight that may have been because of my size, and the lack of things like motivation and follow through}), and the first model we’ll be having in is Andrew. It’ll be the first time we’re having him in and apparently he is a male dancer which should be awesome.
On the 9th we’ll be having in Lindsay which is great. It’s been awhile since we last had her in (November 8th to be precise, and sadly I wasn’t there to run the session, so it’s been even longer for me), though it’s not through lack of trying. She just always seems to be booked out or off galavanting around the globe.
And some info that some of you may be interested. I mentioned this in the last life drawing session so for some of you this’ll be a repeat:
The YMCA HQ Gallery in Leederville is offering free gallery hire for artists under 26 who earn less than $30,000 a year (curse my stupid old age, nothing cool is ever offered to anyone over 30). If you don’t fit the criteria, the gallery can be hired for $100 a week.
For this, you get:
• Professional Lighting;
• A hanging rail;
• Weekend openings;
• Publicity; and
• a full-time, Monday-Friday gallery attendant.
I don’t know about the rest of you but that is just crazy awesome. To apply, you can contact Poppy Vog at:
email – poppy.voh @ ymca.org.au
phone – 9328 3221
web – www.hq.org.au
And that’s bit to try to help the arts. I just want to take this chance to thank everyone who has been coming out lately, the numbers have been fantastic and I appreciate it greatly. To think that just a few weeks ago I was about cancel them. Silly me.

Hello all, just a quick reminder that we will not be having a session on Monday April 25th, but will return on May 2nd.
Also, below are some images from our well packed session on the 18th when we had Ruth in. For those of you who didn’t make it, well you missed out as this was the one and only time we’ll be having her in as she relocates herself to Europe in May. The musical accompaniment for the evening was Stereolab and Sneaker Pimps.
So I was checking out the blog of Rosey, one of our regular partcipants here at UWA, and came across the images she did from one evening when I filled in for our model who was running late. I just couldn’t resist putting them up as they really are quite fantastic.
I also need to take the opportunity to thank Rosey for being so kind to my physique.
Bit late, but a glimpse of some of the stuff to come out of the rather full session last week when we had Gemma in:
Hello all,
Just an update about the drawing sessions at UWA.
Firstly, there will not be a session on April 25th as it is a holiday. The last time I tried to have a session on a holiday only 1 person besides myself showed up, so I won’t be doing that again.
Secondly, on the 11th we’ll be having one of our regular models, Gemma, in for the evening.
And lastly, on the 18th, we will be having Ruth in. We’ve never had her in before so it will great to have a new model in.
Cheerio
We had a small turnout last week, but some wonderful work came out whilst having Clint in. We had Alice Cooper and Led Zepplin accompanying us in the background too:
Hello all, a little late, but pictures from when we had Kieran in (and the musical theme for the evening was Pearl Jam):
Good evening all,
Hello all, sessions are back on again at UWA as from March 28th. Our model for the evening will be Kieren.
And because I haven’t gotten these up before now, pictures of peoples’ work from the 14th when we had Victoria in.
