Just a quick entry to let y’all know that the new shop is live, and that it’s currently loaded with the remaining stock of Blythe Hamlin Kirk‘s limited edition books. Oh, and make sure you check out his recently launched homepage!!
About to drop a few books written and illustrated by the very Young, not yet four-year-old Blythe Hamlin Kirk into the semi refreshed, soon to be now live webstore…
My studio is currently without any form of conventional cooling; not good when combined with the recent Melbourne heat. Hmm, I feel that this is something I really must rectify soon. I kicked aside my fragility and strong dislike for this weather, mopping the sweat from my brow and other regions with the sleeve of my t-shirt, and somehow managed to survive a lengthy drawing session yesterday — making some decent progress on the new drawing I might add. Please refer to the supplied photographic proof accompanying these words. These shots are just of the right-hand side… The rest is looking rather splendid and much more finished (I generally work a drawing left to right). Being the tease that I am, images of other areas of said drawing may surface on the interweb sometime in the distant future.
In other news, I assisted a very young person I know in releasing a small limited edition story book titled “A Toothbrush”. I’ve been able to hang onto a few copies and will be making them available for purchase either through this website or from a wonderful local designer store located to the west of the city named Mandrake and Willow soon.
As a few of you have noticed the “shop” section of this site has been open for business the last week or so. Rather than continuing to operate in stealth mode, I decided to make an official announcement and cut the celebratory red ribbon with my giant scissors.
There is a new series of prints in the works, planned for possible release later in the year…
Stay tuned!!
The designs are almost finished. These badges should be making their way into the online shop quite soon…
Stay tuned!!
