It’s only $25 or $20 concession and Friendly Street Poets members (and I’m a member). This includes a delicious afternooon tea, and the presenter, Martina Taeker, is a very experienced practitioner.

Talking about Disastrous Honeymoons…
Written on May 24, 2010 at 3:02 pm, by Julia
I am giving a talk this Thursday from 2-3pm at the Coventry Library, Stirling, in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, to explain exactly how I was inspired to write and illustrate a sequel to “the Owl and the Pussycat”. It’s free, plus there will be signed copies of the book for sale. I will do my best to show you how the etchings were produced and will tell you a little bit about Edward Lear as well. The book, some of the original etchings, and some of my other prints (as well as the blocks and plates they were made from) are on display in the library showcase for the next four weeks. You can book by calling the Library on 8408 0420 or just turn up!
The desperate climax of the epic tale
Pandamonium at the Adelaide Fringe
Written on February 19, 2010 at 10:10 pm, by Julia
I’ve gone ape with Pandas for this year’s Fringe. I was asked to come up with a print on the theme of SA Icons for an exhibition at the Santos building at Adelaide Zoo. So there was one obvious choice….
Australia Day
There’s another version of this print and two other new ones at the Prince Alfred College show. And you’ll find another panda at the Mini Art show. All details on the Fringe website.

Exhibition at Red Poles
Written on December 14, 2009 at 9:18 pm, by Julia
Until Jan 10 you can see an exhibition called ‘Showtime’ at Red Poles Gallery and Restaurant in Maclaren Vale. It includes some new prints on the theme of the circus that I am currently developing. I first felt inspired to work on this theme when I took my children to a Russian travelling circus in England more than 10 years ago.

At Last! The long awaited sequel to Edward Lear’s “Owl and the Pussycat”!

"Adoration"
As from Friday November 6, you will be able to purchase “A Disastrous Honeymoon”, an illustrated epic poem for short attention spans, from Alice & Co, 159 Brunswick St, Fitzroy Vic 3065.
This is the as yet untold story of what happened to the Owl and the Pussycat the day after they danced by the light of the silvery moon. Have you ever wondered how they prospered on their honeymoon? A gripping tale of love, passion, courage and nail-biting adventure on the high seas.
Illustrated with reproductions of the original etchings which can be viewed at Alice & Co on Sundays and Wednesday afternoons and at other times by appointment.
Accompanied on the walls by: “A Rodent Romance”, a drama in infinite and interchangeable episodes, featuring two lovestruck rabbits – or are they hares?
Plus assorted dogs, pigs and cats that seem to have got in by the back door. Etchings and relief prints, framed and unframed, with souvenir cards to buy if you can’t afford the originals.
If you want a preview of the poem, take a sneak peek by clicking on “A Disastrous Honeymoon” when you go to this webpage:
It’s freezing in the Adelaide Hills at the moment, but the rabbits don’t care – they are tangoing away on the top of Mt Lofty…. or is it the Alps, the Andes, or perhaps the Pyrenees?
