Xaxa's Curio

I have not posted here in a very long time and I am not even sure anyone is following this page. This was an idea that I had some time ago but i have not taken enough time to develop.
I have had the wish for a very long time to see my artwork printed on different things.
I have printed a few cotton tote bags with the ink drawing of Cat in the tree. Something a little different from what I normally do.
For some reason when I look at this cat I feel autumn coming and felt impelled to see him on a bag:)

I am still trying to find the right balance between things. Objects that I want to keep and things that I want to let go of. Objects inspire and reflect your current state of mind.

A mask from some time ago which I had called Part of the Herd...being carnival obviously reminds me of masks...and what a carnival it is.

I just noticed it has been nearly a year since I last posted. At the moment I am rearranging my studio. I find it helpful and sometimes it leads to new sources of inspiration.
I like this combination of these momentos of Florence and reminds me that would like to go back one day.

Not being able to travel you start to appreciate Malta a little bit more. Mdina and Rabat are some of my favourites places and who can resist going to Palazzo Falson with Gustav Cafe being the cherry on the cake.Still one of my favourite places to be!

A box I had sitting in my mother's basement that I wasnt happy with anymore so I altered it a little and left the old painting underneath

Another shelf in my studio, the cast was a work that I studied when I was doing cast drawing and painting
