Diamondfox is a Porn Star?

So it turns out that the name Diamondfox has already been taken... and by a porn star no less (however she spells it oh so charmingly as Diamond Foxxx... nice). So if I want to do this art business thing properly, well I'm going to need to shake the not so professional (or artistic) association. I'm currently in the middle of a name overhaul... that means changing a lot, as I only just realised. I'll keep this account, but make sure its obvious I'm called Fox & Hound now. Yup, Fox & Hound Fine Art - the business name and ABN are now registered... I'm all above board and ready to make some cash (and pay some taxes)!!

In other news I started a Red Bubble account... So if you get a chance, go check it out: [link]

Finished uni for the year, thank fuck. Not back until February, I think... I really needed a break from it all. In the meantime I'm taking commissions if anyone's interested. Send me a photo and I can make an oil painting for you!

Also, this Saturday (if you're in Melbourne) come to DV8 lvl 2 - I'm starting a night called Vamp, featuring Melbourne's best alternative LADY DJ's playing all your fave rock, punk, goth, indie, retro and electro tunes... its going to be awesome! Visit [link] for more info.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Fav if you like it, and watch me if you aren't already - spread the love, I sure as hell do!

Ze List of Pimp

Rules

1- I will add the first 5 people to comment on this journal to Ze List of Pimp.

2- For each of those 5 people, I will put their avatar and three deviations I like from their gallery on the list.

3- If I feature you, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 5 (or as many as you want - i culled this down from 13) people.

What's the point?

And no, this isn't a desperate 'why am I here' existentialist rant. Its about Deviant Art. I'm almost over this site. What's the point? Unless I constantly pump out work that is of a similar style, so that people can easily swallow a particular aesthetic, no one pays any sustained attention... and furthermore, why do I want that attention? No one on deviant art is going to come to my exhibitions, or buy my work for that matter. Its simply a platform for sycophants and egomaniacs, all in one big, happy circle jerk. In the end its a simple way for people to steal my work. And I'm tired of it all.

And sure, it probably sounds like I'm bitter merely because my work isn't popular, there's some truth in that, but mostly its because I see the utter bile that some people are uploading here getting millilons of hits, and thousands of favs. Why waste my time if that's the crap I'm competing with. I get nothing from this place, no worthwhile critiques, no sales, no publicity. Again, what is the point!?

I'll give myself a week to calm the fuck down before I make a decision.

Finally, I'm in 3rd year, only took me an extra semester, but I made it.

I have an exhibition coming up, a collaboration with some other students called 'Intallation Grids', its an exhibition put together by one of the tutors, who is also doing her PHD (and the exhibition is part of her thesis, I believe). We've each been given a space in the gallery and asked to work with a medium we haven't used before. I'm doing sound. I need some people to interview, so if you're local and interested, I need to meet up with you to record your voice - its really just a casual chat about what you know about your family history in Australia. I'm basing my piece around oral traditions - how we pass our family history down from generation to generation, in contrast to an academic discourse. History is only ever written by the winners, I feel there must be so much we don't know from perspectives we've never had a chance to hear.

Finally put up some of last semester's work, let me know what you think. [link]

Also, if you've heard of the VCA you know what an important role it plays in the arts in Australia - please check out this website [link] and learn about what Melbourne Uni has in store for the VCA.

stay creative

I'm back!

I don't really read many DA journals (simply because there's just so many!), so I don't blame anyone for not reading mine - this is really a cathartic exercise.

I've come to terms with my art making process - I make a lot of different stuff, not all of it linked, and not all of it aesthetically similar... I've been so worried about not having a 'Kate' aesthetic, that I overlooked the glaringly obvious fact that I'm yet to create one. The more work I make, no matter the medium, the more likely I am to develop an aesthetic that is intrinsically my own, regardless of what I'm making. I have my fingers in so many pies, that its no wonder I haven't got my own style. I'll find it... and if I don't, who cares - conceptually my work is sound.

So I've made some new stuff, slowly gathering some momentum for 2009... I'm feeling very inspired, ready to conquer my artistic insecurities and starting making some awesome shit.

Stay tuned.

I've almost finished what has been a rather forgettable 2nd semester of my 2nd Year Fine Art Degree, as a result I'm free as of November, so if you're in the area and would like to collaborate on some conceptual (in the post-modern, concept-informs-the-aesthetic sense of the word) work with me, please let me know! I've got a few crazy ideas kicking around, but would love to work with someone over the break so I can push myself to do things outside of my comfort zone, or simply just a little bit different to what I normally do.

I plan on making my 3rd and final year one to remember, so I'll be updating throughout the year with some amazing stuff... hopefully! :dance:

Finally, I'm in love again! I'm deleriously, disgustingly happy. He's awesome - a film maker. Check out his work: [link]
