It's All About the Meg

Thu Sep 3, 2009, 6:49 PM
--------------------------------------------
***IMPORTANT UPDATE!***
I have cleaned out a lot of my old artworks from this account as I feel they don't honestly represent who I am as an artist. Apologies to anyone who has lost a favourite or two ;) but rest assured, there is more, far awesomer art on it's way!
--------------------------------------------



My name, as you may have worked out by now, is Meg.

I am a freelance illustrator/weirdo/tattoo artist. I've been doing the illustrating/weird thing professionally for about 8 years, and am now working in a tattoo studio on the North Coast of NSW, Australia. I have a separate site on here for my skin arts, you can go and check it out here; [link]

In 2005 I completed a Diploma of Illustration and Design at St George Design College in Sydney. I've been drawing since I could grasp a pencil in my abnormally and freakishly small hands, and I like pie. A lot.

So, What Exactly Do I Do?

Anything! I rock realism, I love portraiture and stuff like that. On the other hand I really dig little cartoons, and cutesy-pie faff. But, I have a thing for skulls and death and other Goth-tastic stuff like that. Most of my work centres around women, because we really do pwn everything, and lets face it who doesn't love boobage. But apart from that I love steampunk, tribal/ethnic and fantasy. And anything with wings. I specialise in designing tattoos, and I love helping people bring to life the picture they see in their head.

So like I said, I really will draw anything. Just as long as it doesn't push the boundaries of common decency, and even then I'm open to negotiation. :D

What Medium?

All psychic jokes aside, I mostly use watercolour, and ink. This is less a conscious choice and more something I fell into, as my mother is a watercolour artist/weirdo. I do love oils as well, and my perennial fave is always graphite. I sketch everything, like a demon of the pencil. Ah, hell, I love it all. I really do.

So... Anything Else?

I do commissions, and am happy to take them on. I sell prints off my website, Angels and Mermaids.com [link] you can contact me there [or here] about commissions, or email me directly at meg@angelsandmermaids.com

I sell my art and other weird crafty things regularly on Etsy [because it owns Ebay and generally rocks my handmade socks];

For the voyeuristic or bored, I also keep a Livejournal that gets updated fairly regularly too, with new art and other comings and goings, including my apprenticeship in tattooing;

Oooh and yes, I also have a facebook too. You can find me there almost aaallll the time...

How have you been doing? Your art is looking great. I have been to busy to be working on art but I will be finished with my masters in December.

I may have a chance to come to Aussie land next April for a international convention.

Good man, good, how have you been? I still think of you when I see boobs. Is that weird? It'll be good to see you get back into the arts again.

Dood if you come down this way you gotta let me know...

that is funny! you may see more boobs than me ;)

I have a life story since I last talked to you. I will be finishing my master's degree this fall and starting my doctorate next year. My wife and I have a new baby boy born this past June. He is cute, I will email you a picture.

When i heard I had a chance to go to the land down under... I had to put "to the land" or it would have sounded weird... I thought I know someone there. How close are you to Sydney? It is like saying you were coming to New York and asked me to drive up and visit for a while.
