I am a freelance illustrator/weirdo/tattoo apprentice. I've been doing the illustrating/weird thing professionally for about 8 years, and am now apprenticing in a tattoo studio on the North Coast of NSW, Australia. I just started there and I'm hoping to fulfil my lifelong wish to be the world's most Awesome Tattoo Artist. I'm really good at cleaning tubes and bagging spray bottles, and not mangling people. So I think I'm halfway there, really ... [did I mention my sense of humour is also weird?]
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 You 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/ethinc and fantasy. And anything with wings. I specialise in tattoo designs 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.
What Medium?
All psychic jokes aside, I mostly use watercolour. 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. Ink really interests me too... 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;
