Hello friends!

Here is something to sink your teeth into...

My pal and ginger-friend Russell Gibbs is the proud papa of these new online music mixes, released at the end of every month, on his blog www.llessurdotca.tumblr.com .

He asked me to create something special for his third installment and here it be!

They are super foxy, non? Three lovely foxes ready for a day of sunbathing at the beach. I got my inspiration from Raphael's "The Three Graces"

The mixes are awesome and totally got me moving during this unpredictably horrible/amazingly beautiful month of March... looking forward to April!

Oh and stay tuned for more exciting drawn out newz !

BIRTHDAY CARD!

Hi all,

There is something that I really love in life and appreciate to no end: homemade birthday cards. Actually, scratch that, homemade greeting cards. Christmas, birthday, festivus, or Valentine's Day, I'd rather get something made from a friend than bought (well... there are always some exceptions... )

Anyways here is a Birthday card I made for a friend that I thought I'd share. Not just because I think it is adorable, but because my friend introduced me to the coolest rap group on this planet right now: Die Antwoord (The Answer)

They are from South Africa. They live with their parents and grandparents. They are considered trailer trash. They have amazing stage-names, a well designed website, and wicked music videos. I am in love, to say the least. I have watched their video Zef Side everyday.

Anways my friend has a no-secret crush on Yo-Landi and I thought she should wish him a Happy Birthday on paper.

Watch the video Zef Side. You won't regret it.

Hello chaps,

I wanted to remind all of you about the glorious, beautiful, charming, hilarious, and very amazing annual, The Feathertale Review !

I have had the pleasure of working with the fine people at Feathertale over the years and I wanted to share my contribution to their upcoming, fifth annual, due to come out end of March this year.

Buy your copies online at http://feathertale.com/Press/index.htm !

How to please her once you get her!

This illustration was for a story about a man choosing to read all about women before he could trust himself to talk to women.

Hope you kids like!!! Details to come on where the launch party will be held....

It Had to Do with Love

Hi lovers,

Last week (Tuesday February 9th) was the reception for the show, "It Had to Do With Love", held at Sadie's Diner in Toronto that I had the pleasure to be apart of. I really loved the vibe of the show - how can you refuse love? - and I really want to pursue having my own show soon. I love the stress and mayhem of it all!

I wanted to share some of the pieces that I contributed and are currently for sale.

Come check out the show if you're in the area. And if you couldn't tell from the name already, it is a diner so you can look and eat and the same time! AMAZING!

Valentine's Day!

Oh my goodness, I have been M.I.A since November! How shameful of me! But I come bearing good - and productive- news.

I will slowly leak the details and draw out the suspense of what I've been working on these past couple of months from now until the end of February.

BUT the most exciting news I have at the moment is the dawning of a new beginning... Alex Davey in her first Illustration Show!

I will be showing some Valentine's Day themed illustrations this Tuesday, February 9th at Sadie's Diner, (504 Adelaide West). The show is fittingly titled "It Had to do with Love".

Come check out my stuff along with other cool artists between 7:00 -10:00 for the opening reception Tuesday.

The above picture will be apart of the show: The Valentine Ginger Sweethearts!

Stay warm,

Alex

This is a bit of an old one. Man I love bon-bons and men in glasses.

Studio aka my bedroom

My ceramic cute-things in my bathroom.

Hi everybody, I have been living in Toronto for five years in the same place. It is a three-story townhouse in the St. Lawrence Market area (gorgeous, quaint, close to transit and still relatively 'downtown') and I have lived in every room of this three-bedroom, three-story townhouse. I am now living on the top floor, where I have a private bathroom and entrance to the upstairs terrace. This is where I will be living for the next 2+ years (rent is cheap... and I owe lots!) so I decided to make this my home as much as possible. I've been trying to paint pieces to put on my walls (I really don't like to decorate with my own artwork.... but I am trying to live with it) and also to keep drawing... like a fiend!

Anyblabberingaboutnothing..... here are some photos for me to share of my room...

Edel Rodriguez. He. Is. Hot.

EDDIE! Also, an octowl, given to me by a friend.


I got these little frames in Kensington Market for very cheap. I filled them with models from Vogue.



Two portraits obviously done by myself (looks down in shame) and my Russian nesting dolls.
I am trying to trade one painting for one of Ginette Lapalmes...

My inspiration board. Lots of pink, white, and blue.


My Michael DeForge print! Hanging in my bathroom where it matches my towels.



And lastly, my Patrick Kyle print. We went to school together and he is going to be famous.
