Holy Moly - things are really getting better - July is my birthday month, interesting jobs are on the go, and my textile stuff is all coming together nicely - but what takes the cake is that i've also got work in the july issue of Frankie mag! (planets must be in the right alignment.)
In issue 48, not only is there a giant pull-out poster of my biscuits illustration, there's a featurette on my biscuit dress. Thanks to Holly and the Frankie team for being such dolls and having me as their featured poster artist for the second time. If only my highschool self could see me now! wowee. not to be cheesy, but dreams really do come true (if you work really hard...). :)
(p.s. If you'd like to win your very own biscuits dress, pick up a copy of Frankie and flip to page 23 to see what i'm talking about.)



Congratulations Caitlin! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDelete(The poster looks amazing!)
Thankyou Laura! I love your paintings so much and i'm thrilled to have your support.
DeleteGUH can I say your eyebrows are amazing? Because they are! *_*
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I think it is so so incredible that you are out realizing your dreams, and it makes me very hopeful for the future. Thank you for sharing <3
thanks Kailey!
DeleteI think you've got a wonderful talent and such a great aesthetic and i can see you going far. :)

Caitlin - why are you so amazing and incredible gorgeous? :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Frankie feature and poster, I think I would die of shock and happiness to be in your (elegant) shoes right now!! I won't say "lucky girl" because you have worked INCREDIBLY hard to get here!! I need to lace up my lazy shoes!!!
big kisses xx
Big Kisses!
DeleteI'd love to see your art in there one day Monika!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDESIGNING TEXTILE PRINTS IS MY D-R-E-A-M JOB.
BUT I FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO REACH :(:(:(:(
you'd be so good at it Maria.
Deletebecause it's such a passion, i just have to turn it into a job for myself. I too wish i could be hired by a nice company to create all sorts of surface design for them, but it's incredibly hard - you need diplomas!
it is tough to do on your own, and expensive too, but i'm starting small and learning along the way.
That is fantastic, you deserve the success you are so talented x
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah. :)
DeleteThat's incredible! I've followed you blog for a couple of years now and it's so great to see you grow as an artist and find success.
ReplyDeleteFrankie is usually very hard to find here in Toronto (not to mention pricey) but I'll look for this issue and purchase it just to see your work! Keep on keeping on, Caitlin!
Thanks for sticking by my work for such a long time, hazel, i appreciate it.
Delete& hope you're able to find yourself a copy of the mag sooner or later. :)
Congradulations Caitlin!!! Life can be really amazing sometimes!<3
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!:>
It can be! As long as the sun is shining, i am happy these days!
DeleteThankyou.

ReplyDeleteThanks! Enjoy your read.
Delete(p.s. i'm just a mere mortal myself. nothing spesh.)
