Q10 with BretPendlebury










Bret from BretPendlebury is yet another terrific artist in Etsy. And he's been so super he's answered one of my Q10s! Thanks a ton to Bret.


1- What makes you happy?




little things, like lighting bugs, having the ability to surprise myself, watering my garden and watching it grow.








2- What do you want to be when you grow up?




i want to be my own boss, healthy and happy, and an inspirational father.








3- What could you not live without?




i could not live with out my loved ones, every thing else is just material when compared to that.








4- What is your favourite object?




my grand father’s old paint brushes, i like to think they give me magical powers.








5- What do you collect?




antiques, anything old and beat up.it seems when things are aged and worn out, they have allot of charter, and more of a story to tell. i especially collect old photos.








6- If you had to pick one artist...




i would have a drink with edward gorey (see following image)








7- What song would make up the soundtrack to your life?




the introduction song to full house.just kidding! i would have to say “ in a beautiful place out in the country - boards of canada.








8- Sweet or savoury?




savoury.








9- Why did the chicken cross the road?




probably to get away from the rooster..








10- One piece of advise (in Art, Blogs or life)




always remember that there are no limits or rules on creating your art.




Frivolity in times of crisis


Check this multiple interview that appeared in the Guardian this Sat.

Whilst I got a bit annoyed with Starck when he single-handedly declared design dead, I could admit he's got a point. So, etsians, crafters, design-makers, designers (poor us, adapt or die), etc. have a look at this because it rings prophetically true...

Is anyone up for arguing one needs certain frivolity in awful times? I think we still need a feeling of luxury, but not necessarily in the shape of a £30000 table. Time and experiences are on the rise as valuables. A lay-in could be much more appreciated, and be just as much of a luxury.

So relax, make yourtself some loose-leaf tea and cuddle. No mohair/pashmina blanket necessary.

Q10: Little Robot

I loved the first Q10 experience, so I'm going back for more! This time the super star is Lindsey from Little Robot. She's an artist om Glasgow with this almost Victorian style. Her work is ethereal and delicate, and sometimes even a bit eerie. She also writes the Little robot blog.


It's been so much fun to get her anwers back!


1-What makes you happy?



I love dinner with my best freind, and sitting in front of the fire and I like getting the initial idea for a piece especially if it comes easily.




2- What do you want to be when you grow up?




Reckless and daring!




3- What could you not live without?




I would find it hard to live without my eyesight. I've occassionally morbidly imagined being without my eyes, theoretically I could take up music but i'd be quite cranky for a while




4- What is your favourite object?




My prized possession is a photograph of me and my brother as little kids being tickled by my grandad.




5- What do you collect?




Books mainly, and anything natural. I also try to buy small pieces of art when I can afford it.




6- If you had to pick one artist...




Perhaps Eduard Bersudsky (see pic below)







7- What song would make up the soundtrack to your life?




Oh that's tricky...I love a bit of Led Zeppelin though...something utterly ridiculous from their back catalogue...The Lemon Song?




8- Sweet or savoury?




Both!




9- Why did the chicken cross the road?




He was compelled to by all the previous events which had taken place in the universe...in the end it was inevitable




10- One piece of advise (in Art, Blogs or life)




The best advice i've ever had is to stop thinking and just do - even if you don't like what you're producing just keep doing
Thanks to Lindsey!

Q10: Argyle Whale

I've got a surprise for you. And I'm so happy to be about to give it away. I'm starting to publish mini interviews (Q10) with creative, fabulous people. And it's my greatest pleasure to introduce the first of them, Elise from The Argyle Whale, who also blogs. She's absolutely awesome because she a) owns bunnies, b) has a gocco (envy levels soaring now) and a tremendous sense of humour. And she combines it all into little art pieces!



So, I shall hold you back no more, here's the Q10:

1- What makes you happy?

I always enjoy the company of my rabbit friends, shiny new art supplies and hot drinks.



2- What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be a better version of my current self. I want to be able to have a successful art career and have a happy family in a lovely home. Is that too much to ask?






3- What could you not live without?

My life would be very unpleasant if I didn't have the support of my husband and regular pep talks from my mothers. They help me every time I doubt myself.


4- What is your favourite object?

I was given an absurd vase shaped like a trout last Christmas and I use it to hold my cooking utensils. I smile every time I shove my spatula into it's gaping mouth.






5- What do you collect?

I have dozens of varieties of teas and herbs that I like to mix and I also have a container full of hundreds of pussy willow fuzz buds that I like to touch.

6- If you had to pick one artist...

Miranda July always delights me and I think she is great in an array of media. (see pic below)












7- What song would make up the soundtrack to your life?

I'm not sure if I've met that song yet but I will say that I sing "Lazy Bones" to myself pretty regularly when I need to get going.


8- Sweet or savoury?

Sweet! Absolutely. I'm tempted to keep a flask of maple syrup in my pocket.






9- Why did the chicken cross the road?

To live as a guest in my backyard and share her fine eggs with me.


10- One piece of advise (in Art, Blogs or life)

Try to keep learning all the time and don't forget to share what you've learned.
A massive thank you to Elise.
