I brought down the best of my fashion illustration work in original and print form over the last few years, as well as my capsule clothing collection, cushions, bags, badges and postcards. Supergraph Salon featured a limited edition of 4 of my classic shoe illustrations as prints, available in A4 and A3.<br />

Next week I am exhibiting at the Inaugural Supergraph: Australia's Contemporary Graphic Art Fair that celebrates design, print and illustration.<br />
<br />
The event is being held at the beautiful Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton, from Friday 14th - Sunday 16th February, 2014. Tickets can be purchased via the Supergraph website here: http://www.supergraph.com.au/tickets/<br />
<br />
I will be exhibiting via my very own booth, where you can have a Live Portrait created whilst you sit and pose, purchase original artwork, giant limited edition screen prints, clothing, cushions bags, badges and saucy playing cards! Plus, you'll be able to purchase a VERY limited edition collection of my shoe prints via Supergraph Salon.<br />
<br />
Check out some of my BRAND NEW illustrations below, created especially for Supergraph!<br />

It is very lush and green and rather sunny all the time, which is still a novelty to a Brit like me despite almost 8 years of living in Australia! I am regularly visited by cows, chickens, wallabees and the occasional bandicoot. I do spend a fair bit of time in Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as 2-5 months per year in London.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Where did you go for your last holiday?</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">I did a European marathon of short trips which included Iceland, Ireland, Paris, Greece, Devon and Lake Garda in Italy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What's your favourite item of clothing?

There is a photo of her wearing it with my brother as a baby on her lap. We think it could be an Emilio Pucci but we're not sure. It is a tangerine red and printed with abstract yachts on colourful waves in purples, blues, gold and orange.

I would miss so much of what was going on and not really make the most of all the city has to offer.

But right now, she’s here with us, taking in all the fresh air Queensland has to offer on her boyfriend’s rural farm, just outside Brisbane.</div>

Let her tell you how she ended up here; why we shouldn’t underestimate GoMa; how Patricia Arquette’s Alabama and Christian Slater’s Clarence influence a fashion label; that squatting isn’t as filthy as it sounds; and why, on earth, the dilapidated amusement parks just south of New York City have her name written all over them.</div>

I moved here to live on my boyfriend’s family farm, and took advantage of the beautiful rural location that is still very close to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I have a giant studio space here, so I can spread out and create giant sized paintings, all the while surrounded by nature and visited by wallabies and pet chickens.</div>

It has impressive international exhibitions like the Andy Warhol and Valentino shows, the latter of which was only shown additionally in Paris. Culturally, I feel drawn to Brisbane as it is kind of a mini-Melbourne. I love West End and the fact that there are all these little Queenslanders nestled in amongst the big city buildings. I also love the Gold Coast, and I’m really excited about the developing arts precinct there. With great galleries like 19 Karen and the amazing Rabbit & Cocoon with its Marketta, I am eager to see what the future will bring for The Arts on the GC.</div>

The exhibition featured a series of 30+ self portraits from birth to date, contained within the framework of the 20+ dwellings I have lived in across two continents over the years. It was a study in nostalgia, encompassing major events in my life and in popular culture throughout. I was also delighted to be invited to Paris to exhibit a huge retrospective of my work at Gallerie Claude-Samuel, Viaduc Des Arts, in June. The exhibition was titled <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Rainbowspective</em> and featured the best of my work over the past five years – both my personal work and illustration work, and I was given a massive 180m² to show in!</div>

But in terms of one singular film, I’d have to say the Quentin Tarantino written, Tony Scott directed 1993 classic <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">True Romance</em> would be my favourite and most influential film. I even named my Camden Market clothing label ‘Clarence & Alabama’ after the lead characters, back in 2003. It is the candy coloured, sun-drenched, palm trees and cheap motels combined with Elvis, rockabilly and white trash that has saturated my work the most.</div>

Upon graduation from my Illustration degree in 2002, I found myself living in London, struggling to climb the rungs on the creative ladder. The term ‘impoverished artist’ is an understatement – I was living below the poverty line, existing on £130 per week cobbled from numerous bar jobs whilst interning in the fashion industry full time AND paying £112 per week in rent – £18 for food, travel, bills etc is not much! I relied on tips to cover bus fare to work and I fed myself eating whatever was offered free at my job (cheese toasties, sausage rolls, tea and alcohol!) I literally ate one decent meal a day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I hung in there finding time to create art wherever I could in between jobs in my tiny flat, often working on my bed due to lack of space. By early 2004, my debt and overdraft had reached crisis point and I faced leaving London – when suddenly I was thrown a lifeline. Bartending friends from The Electric Ballroom (where I also worked and sold my Clarence & Alabama hand painted clothing from a free market stall) were living in squats – utilizing London’s abandoned empty buildings for free living and studio space. I met some amazing creative people in those squats who are now successful actors, burlesque stars, artists, fashion designers and TV tarot sensations!</div>

I am so proud to call those people my friends. In my year or so squatting, I saved enough money to rent a new flat. I was able to take on a job that began as a one-day-a-week portfolio assistant and bloomed into the international role I now have as a talent scout for Illustration Ltd (I couldn’t have given up my bar jobs to accommodate that role had I still had that £112 per week rental noose around my neck). I developed my portfolio in those squats, and in doing so followed illustration commissions. I got an illustration agent in Canada and one in London. It took three years, but I got back on my feet. It was so hard at the time, but I’m glad I went through it as it makes me so thankful for where I am today. It was worth it for the career I was able to develop.</div>

I will stay in an artists’ loft in Brooklyn, and travel out to Coney every day on the subway, photographing and drawing all that I see and immersing myself in this most inspiring place. Since I first discovered it in 2002, I have made five short one-day pilgrimages to Coney Island, on the shores of Brooklyn, New York City. Coney is a decaying wonderland of dilapidated amusements and some of the most edible typography one might endeavour to feast their eyes upon. I have kept scrapbooks of photographs from each trip, which I use to inform illustration work and paintings. Yet, each time I return via the Subway to Stilwell Ave, I am heartbroken to find a little bit more of Coney has disappeared since my last visit. It has been a dream of mine since I discovered Coney 12 years ago, to return to Coney for a decent period of time (not just a day trip) and paint all that I see there.</div>

This sabbatical will allow me to fully immerse myself in Coney Island for months on end; to experience a summer season, and finally see The Mermaid Parade. Due to being granted time off from work, I will be able to create without restraint, and experience being a full-time artist for the first time. I will create a body of work that will reflect Coney Island’s present, as well as examining its history; and paint a portrait of an ever-changing environment that will serve as an interesting visual account of a moment in Coney Island’s history in the future. I’ll continue to develop this body of work upon my return to Australia, creating some large-scale paintings based upon my experience. I created an <a href="http://igg.me/at/sarahbeetsonconeyisland/x/2195815" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Indigogo campaign</a> which provided almost half of the money I need to get there, and I have managed to save about the same amount again.

Next summer, I am planning to live out a dream. I am hoping to spend 3 months in Coney Island, Brooklyn USA, in a self-initiated artist residency. I am planning to stay in an artist loft, and travel down to Coney on the F Train every day, to photograph, sketch and paint all the things that I find there, from decaying amusements, hand painted signage, seaside delicacies like fried shrimp and saltwater taffy, to the colourful community, curious tourists and beach oddities that populate this most inspiring place. Please take a look at the link below and share it via your social networks to help me live out my dream:<br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sarah Beetson’s resume is as full, colourful, and diverse as her illustrations. The Manchester, UK-born illustrator has a style of her own that has attracted many clients, from magazines, newspapers, and personal clients, to Trader Joe’s in the US. She graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in Cornwall in 2002 with 1st class honours, and spent the next four years living and working in London as an illustrator and graphic designer. There, Beetson worked in styling, and created fabric prints for Stella McCartney, who then commissioned her to decorate the walls of the shoe room in her Burton St. shop. Since then, Beetson has curated an extensive list of clients like The Telegraph and the Times (UK), The Globe and Mail here in Toronto, The Wall St. Journal, Diesel, La Perla, Reader’s Digest, Scholastic Books, The British Fashion Council, IKEA, and Continental Airlines among many, many more. She relocated from the UK to Australia in 2006 where she created works for numerous exhibitions.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When did you realize that you wanted to be an illustrator? </span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was 8 I had three ambitions: to be a professional tennis player and win Wimbledon (until I realized I wasn’t too good at tennis), to be a rockstar (I even made my first failed attempt at learning guitar), or to illustrate children's books like Quentin Blake. I got close to the third one.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why fashion illustration? </span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fashion has always provided a huge inspiration to me, particularly in my youth as I was beginning to find my own personal style. I wondered why people in the street did not dress as the models did in fashion shoots; often bizarrely themed with many layers of clothing, eccentric styling and heaps of colour, so I started to do that myself. People often tell me I look like my work, as it became a natural progression that I would draw the things I loved to wear myself.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Were you ever interested in moving into the fine art world of oils and canvas?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In recent years, as a diversion from commissioned illustration, I have widely exhibited my personal work via galleries, showing in solo and group exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Portland, Ottawa, Melbourne and The Gold Coast, Australia. I was never tempted by oils, though I often work on raw canvas or linen. Almost all of the materials I use are water-based, with the exception of spray-paint, and my favourite painting medium is Acryl-Gouache.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your work contains lots of diverse subjects; where do you tend to get your inspiration from?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I find much inspiration from my travels; I live between Australia and the UK, spending 3-4 months a year in London and often stopping off in between. I love typography and collect photographs of examples I love the world over. I particularly like decaying signage on shop fronts, amusement parks and neon signs. I read widely into the subjects that interest me and will conduct much research when working on personal projects or without tight deadlines. Apart from the fashion industry, I’d say my greatest source of inspiration comes from film. I watch at least 1-2 movies per day from all kinds of genres/time periods, and when I am in the city I’ll often take an inspiration day, hoping between cinemas, and taking in 5 movies.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your work is full of balance between line weight, texture, and punches of colour, but how did you refine this signature style?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst I was at art school in Falmouth, UK, I was initially using a number of techniques to create work, none of which I was really in love with. During life drawing classes, we were taught the blind contour drawing technique, in which you place your pen/pencil on the paper and look at the subject, drawing ‘blindly’ without taking your eyes from the subject. This technique can be totally haphazard with moments of clarity; a mess of abstract lines with a perfect hand or eye within it. I decided to combine this technique with the bunch of other materials / styles I liked to work with, and hence my style was born.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How would you describe your work?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A very well planned, carefully executed accumulation of chaotic colourful madness?!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How has living in London influenced your work?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In so many ways, from the people I lived and worked with and the city itself, to the general poverty I lived in when I first moved there. I do think the London streets have the most daring fashion statements of any city in the world. When I first arrived I was forever accosting brilliantly dressed people into letting me draw them. I have lived in other cities (Melbourne in Australia possibly being my favourite, it has an alternative arty feeling very like Portland in the US), but I think what sets London apart, and keeps me returning, is the self deprecating character of The British. We can look at things like art and fashion with irony and humour and not take ourselves too seriously.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How did it feel to get your first big client?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was ecstatic when I was commissioned by Tank Magazine whilst I was still finishing my Illustration Degree. They asked me to produce 12 illustrations centred around food for the OXO book. A couple of those pieces are still in my portfolio today. My next big job was a teen fashion editorial for Fashion 18 Magazine in Toronto. It was a graffiti inspired piece about the Barbie girl in school who the girls dislike and the boys want to get with.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking back at your clients, how does it feel to see so many esteemed names/brands?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been really lucky to work with some fantastic people, and even luckier that some of those clients believed in me when I was 21 and straight out of art school, and really provided me with that step up onto the illustration ladder. Getting representation with 2 agencies in my graduate year played a huge part in this, and I count Shelley Brown of i2iArt, Toronto, and Harry Lyon Smith of Illustration Ltd, London, as the key players in shaping my career.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What got you interested in exploring so many different mediums in your work?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I mentioned previously, the combining of all the existing materials in my work with the blind contour drawing technique was the catalyst for developing my style. And as I began to travel around, I started to collect more and more materials that I could use to paint, draw, collage, create backgrounds with, etc. I really began working on tissue paper pasted on wood or paper, but over the years I have experimented with working on canvas, photographs, and fabric. When I first moved to London, I spent one year interning in the fashion industry, and to make rent as well as working in bars and nightclubs, I started experimenting on fabric and creating t-shirts and sneakers to sell on my stall in Camden market. That has evolved to digitally printed capsule collections today. I still create every element with my work by hand, but over the last 5 years or so, I have developed techniques of creating different elements within each piece separately, and scanning them individually in order to be able to create layered files in Photoshop, and accommodate changes for clients on their every whim. This has enabled my work to be animated, and I was hired for a campaign to prevent drink driving during Perth Fashion Week, Australia.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you could move to any city in the world to work, where would it be and why?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think New York would be my ultimate, having visited it so often, but never stayed long enough to feel like a New Yorker. But for now, I am quite content floating between Australia and the UK, and all the travels that happen in between!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you feel has been your biggest achievement so far?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Among these have been working with Stella McCartney in the early days of her label, working with Mary Portas at Yellowdoor, illustrating for major newspapers including The Globe and Mail (Toronto), The Times and The Telgraph (UK) and The Miami Herald, winning the Creative Review (UK) Best in Book prize for illustration in 2011, being shortlisted for the 2012 Metro Award (a $50,000 Australian Art Gallery Prize), exhibiting at Somerset House, London, as part of Pick Me Up 2012, and being invited to exhibit “Rainbowspective” in Paris earlier this year, showing the best of the last 5 years of my work.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a favourite artist (illustrator or otherwise)?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are so many I don’t know if I could pick one favourite, but here are some: Keith Haring, Antonio Gaudi, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Julie Verhoeven, Cary Kwok, Henry Darger, Grayson Perry, Yoshitomo Nara, Aubrey Beardsley, Robert Crumb, Alan Moore, Antonio Lopez, Vaughan Bode…. and many more.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is there someone you dream of working with or for?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would love to create a fashion illustration spread working with John Galliano.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is it that you like most about working in your industry?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do love working from home in my own studio on the farm where I live in Queensland, Australia. It is a huge space which enables me to create large scale paintings, and unlike in a shared office, my pet chickens get to come in and hang out. I also love the excitement that comes with the anticipation of an enquiry or the arrival of a brief; a few days prior to Christmas, 2012, I was poised to potentially fly to New York for an illustration project during fashion week which didn’t come off, as projects often don’t, but that kind of spontaneity is something I really love about being an illustrator. When an enquiry comes into one of my agents, the terms, deadline and brief are discussed, then we go ahead and I begin researching, gathering references, making sketches, and working with the client to create the realized illustration; all of this is rather exciting, challenging and fun!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a favourite piece amongst your work?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think often my favourite piece is the one I have just finished creating. But I would say that the piece I always think is one I created back in 2002, which is the profile image on my Facebook Fan Page, and is called “Miss Sherbet Dip”. It was from a drag queen; inspired photo shoot from the Falmouth days, and features my first muse and good friend, Knud Kleppe in full drag. Knud is now a successful animator working for a major Oslo TV network, and is also in the rockerbilly band “The Lucky Bullets” who were finalists to represent Norway at Eurovision 2011!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many have said that illustration is a dying art form; what is your view on the subject?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would strongly argue quite the opposite. I think for almost ten years now, illustration has been having a major resurgence, and is currently in its heyday this century. I am a talent scout for my UK rep, Illustration Ltd, and I think there are more fantastic artists out there right now than there have been for a long time. Illustration is widely used across advertising, publishing, TV, web and digital media, employing a very diverse range of styles and artists. When I first left art school 10 years ago, there was nowhere near as much illustration usage clearly visible at all levels of media as there is today. I feel like in some part the financial crisis helped illustrators, as clients potentially had to cut their photography budgets back, but saved on using illustration in its place. Photographers need to hire models, locations, etc, whereas illustrators require a small setup and are often far more cost-effective to commission.</span></div>

<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have any advice for aspiring illustrators?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get your work out there, approach clients and agents, and expect knockbacks. Keep contacting the right folk, and keep developing your style and portfolio. Even if you aren’t getting work, you need to keep creating and moving forward, don’t stagnate. Aim to create a style and voice of your own; innovate, don’t imitate. Seek advice from the industry and respond to it when you receive it. It can take years to build a career and gain industry recognition. Make sure you have a great website with a simple, user friendly design that lets the work speak clearly. Tumblr, Blogspot and Wordpress can be great vehicles; you don’t need to spend lots of money on flashy web development. Utilize social media. Enter competitions. Email the clients you want to work for and send them your samples. Don’t give up!</span></div>

<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a favourite motto?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like: “Do or do not, there is no try” (Yoda)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And: “There’s no fate but what we make” (Sarah Connor, Terminator 2)</span></div>

<em><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are your goals for the next five years?</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In February 2014, I’ll be taking part in Supergraph Melbourne, a graphic Arts Fair in which I will exhibit prints and originals, and sell printed clothing, cushions and my illustrated naughty playing cards, as well as creating Live Portraits of visitors. Later in the year, I plan to take a summer sabbatical and spend three months in the place that has inspired me most over the years: Coney Island in New York. I will take my travel easel, A3 moleskine and art materials, and just thoroughly immerse myself in the place, sketching all that I see. Upon my return to Australia, I’ll be developing this body of work and will also focus on similar themes in my hometown of The Gold Coast, also a classic seaside resort with many amusements and signage to inspire. Over the next five years I plan to return to Japan, which has been the source of many ideas since my last trip, and I’m hoping to get to South America with my boyfriend and taking in the culture and colours. All the while I’ll continue to develop my illustration portfolio, and I look forward to discovering the jobs and commissions which may come my way.</span></div>

I have been spending the last few months working on developing some new images for my fashion illustration portfolio. A few of these are commissioned editorial pieces, but the majority are self-initiated works. I have been really lucky to have the help of my boyfriend in photographing shoots for me, and have enlisted the help of some good friends to model for me. Here are the results:<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Below is a piece written about my latest solo exhibition by 19 Karen Contemporary Artspace:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ever wanted to know what it’s like trying to break your way into the big time as an artist or illustrator? </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">British
born and Gold Coast based artist Sarah Beetson knows all too well of the hard work and sacrifices that need to
be made in the pursuit of success in the industry. Sarah puts her plight to paint in her new body of work </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">All Of
The Places That I Have Lived </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">which explores her sense of upheaval of moving 17 times to eight different towns
and cities across two continents.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">“My life is ever more transient these days, as I divide my time between the Northern and Southern
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hemispheres, and I wanted to create a body of work which draws upon the displacement and disconnection I
so often feel as a result of living and working globally, and how this has in turn shaped me as a person and as
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">an artist,” says Sarah.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Sarah has moved around quite a lot in not only her adulthood but also as a child living in three different family
homes by the age of 16. From there she found refuge in numerous flats, houses, apartments and squats whilst
using her illustration skills to grind away at a career in the competitive British fashion industry. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">All Of The
Places That I Have Lived </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">draws on Sarah’s experiences and how they have impacted her lif</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">e and her work as an
artist.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">“All of this has affected my work in different ways in terms of workspaces within each dwelling and the kind of
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">work I was able to create due to spatial and financial restrictions, the area I lived in, the people whom I lived
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">with and the events that happened within each set of four walls,” says Sarah.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Sentimental details are peppered throughout each of the works for </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">All Of The Places That I Have Lived</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. Using
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">her signature style of playful bright colours with a hint of rock ‘n’ roll Sarah has created one artwork for each
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">place that she has lived in. Self portraits are employed to best portray the nomadic tale.
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">“Each work features a rough grid template of the layout of the home itself, and when put together, the works
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">form a </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">timeline of my life thus far,” says Sarah. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And here is the original Q+A session we did about the project:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Q Hi
Sarah! Can you start by telling us a bit about your background and what has led
you to what you are doing today...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I’m
a British artist and illustrator who has been living in Australia for 7 years.
I graduated with a First Class BA Hons in Illustration in 2002 from Falmouth
College of Arts in Cornwall, a beautiful English seaside town where fellow
students of many nationalities inspired me</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> – I initially lived with A
Norwegian, a Swiss and an Argentinian. After Falmouth, I moved to London where
I interned in Fashion for 2 years, working for Mary Portas @ Yellowdoor, Pop
Magazine and Stella McCartney as she setup her own label, researching
collections and creating designs for fabric print as well as helping to
illustrate the shoe room of her London shop. I spent 2 impoverished years
selling my own illustrated clothing in Camden Market, whilst grafting hard part
time in bars and living in squats when I couldn't make the rent. Around 2005, I began to find more and more
illustration work having secured two agents in Europe and North America. In
2006, I discovered I could cut my living costs by moving to Melbourne, where I
lived and worked for 3 years and began to exhibit my artwork widely. In 2009 I
moved to Queensland to my boyfriend’s idyllic family farm. I have a fabulous
setup with a large studio visited daily by my pet hens. I am still in awe of
the luxury of space we experience in our homes in Australia, having lived in
shoeboxes for years in London. I still spend around 3-5 months per year
overseas, in the UK and North America, exhibiting and working.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Q What can we expect to see from
your solo exhibition? What were the inspirations behind this body of work?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My
life is ever more transient these days, as I divide my time between the
Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and I wanted to create a body of work which
draws upon the displacement and disconnection I so often feel as a result of
living and working fairly globally, and how this has in turn shaped me as a
person and as an artist. I’ve moved around quite a lot in my adult life but
also in my childhood – we had lived in 3 family homes in the north of England
by my 16<sup>th</sup> birthday. At 18, I moved down to Cornwall for University
and high-tailed it to London upon graduation. There followed the most transient
period of my life up to that point – residing in numerous flats, house,
apartments and squats and at one point moving 4 times in 6 months! Then of
course I relocated to Australia. All this has affected my work in different
ways, in terms of my workspaces within each dwelling and the kind of work I was
able to create due to spatial / financial restrictions, the area I lived in,
people whom I lived with, events that happened within and around each set of
four walls, etc. I have spent a lot of time in preparation for this show
reading studies on nostalgia, and indeed revisiting the era spent in each place
and looking at what was going on culturally at the time and how this was
infiltrating my world and affecting me. I decided to create one artwork for
each dwelling I have lived in. The size of the artwork is informed by the
period I lived there, for example, somewhere I lived for only a couple of
months might be a small work (perhaps 25cm x 25cm) and a house I resided at for
7 years might be huge (1.5m x 1m). Each work features a rough grid template of
the layout of the home itself, and when put together, the works form a timeline
of my life thus far. I decided that the best reflection of constant change was
to focus upon self-portraits – the series features more than 30 of them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Q What was it like to be
constantly on the move or always in a different home? Scary? Fun? Exciting?!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is a constant process of
change and evaluation. I generally manage to contain my life into a large
suitcase, complete with a pack down of essential art materials, laptop and
travelling scanner. I think however this minimal baggage encourages me to collect
things on my travels – everything from old books to vintage clothing unique to
my new location, to art materials and goodies which are hoarded back to my
permanent home back in Aus on the farm. I am lucky that I have Gold frequent
flyer status and can carry 45 kilo on long haul flights! I fluctuate between
feeling a profound sense of freedom within my transient lifestyle to feeling
quite alien, both in my home country of the UK and back in Australia – I feel I
am neither 100% British nor Australian, as my accent, appearance and identity
are sculpted between nations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Q How did you remember all of the
layouts of each home?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My father is a chartered
surveyor back in the UK, so he was able to produce very detailed plans of our 3
family homes (right down to the location of the bidet and the airing cupboard
in our 1<sup>st</sup> house!) The rest, I was aged 18 or older, so my memory,
my housemates and Google maps have all helped inform me of the layouts along
the way!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I think art is outside of strict
boundaries and definitions, but I do think more and more that for me, art needs
to be more than just the simple, direct presentation or communication of an
idea. The virtual presentation of an idea is to me, simply a piece of
advertising or design.<br />
<br />Q What materials do you use?</span></span></div>

The series is a collection of 30+ self portraits from birth to date, encapsulated within the frame work of every house, apartment, flat, studio, squat, houseboat and dwelling I have lived in my life thus far. Each work explores the effect of my living space upon myself and my development as an artist, forming a timeline of my life and art. The works are a study in nostalgia, exploring my sense up upheaval and displacement via moving house 17 times, in 8 or so towns/cities, across 2 continents.<br />

Here are opening night photos from my giant retrospective show in Paris, June 6th 2013. Many family and friends hopped on the Eurostar from over the pond - and some flew all the way from Australia for what was my biggest exhibition so far - encompassing 180m2 and containing 5 years' worth of work. It took 4 days to hang over 2 stories, and endless patience from wonderful gallery assistant Anne-Sophie Deruaz. I even got my hair dyed rainbow for the occaision! The works were complemented by the beautiful light sculptures of Celine Wright.<br />

<br />
I have been using the Pilot G Tec C (UK), also known as the HiTec C (Japan), since around 2003 - here are some examples of very early linework (from 2003-2005) created with these pens!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rEq08Eb_KQw/UVwUxnjQ7LI/AAAAAAAACBw/fpW2HKhk_qg/s1600/_early+pilot+line+samples.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rEq08Eb_KQw/UVwUxnjQ7LI/AAAAAAAACBw/fpW2HKhk_qg/s320/_early+pilot+line+samples.jpg" width="185" /></a></div>
<br />
I used to buy the G Tec C4 from Paperchase in the UK, in 6 basic colours: black, blue, purple, red, brown and green.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KQeXXQZpxOY/UVwYVt8XbNI/AAAAAAAACCA/lGFAnSTSsyk/s1600/P1020431.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KQeXXQZpxOY/UVwYVt8XbNI/AAAAAAAACCA/lGFAnSTSsyk/s320/P1020431.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When I came to Australia in 2006, I panicked when I could not find a Pilot stockist who carried them, so I ordered online from the US and discovered that the pens came in more colours - adding yellow, orange, turquoise and pink to my pallette to make 10 colours.<br />
But the big discovery came in 2008, when I came accross the stationary kiosk at Sydney's Kinokuniya Japanese Bookstore. Here, the lovely assistants introduced me to a veritable candylab of colous, and 4 diameter options. I had previously been working with just the 0.4 thickness, but found 0.5 and the thinner 0.3 and 0.25.<br />

The series will <span lang="EN-US">explore the turbulent nature of child
celebrity. The seven subjects
were a generation of boys all born in the 1970s or early 80s, and all began
acting in childhood. I grew up watching them in Hollywood movies like “Don’t
Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead”, “Stand By Me”, “License To Drive,” “The
Neverending Story II”, “Rocky V”, “Sleepers” and “10 Things I Hate About You”. All
died due to substance abuse or suicide in their 20s and 30s.</span></div>
