Swim For Life

2011-01-29T21:13:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday March 16th at exactly 7.30am, the bravest soul I know is putting her body on the line to swim around Phillip Island to raise money for a 24 hour medical clinic.

For those of you who do not know, Warley Hospital was the only hospital on Phillip Island until 2007, when it was closed down due to the loss of Government funding. Now the closest Hospital is a mere 25kms away in Wonthaggi. 25kms when in desperate need of medical assistance is just too far.

Now thanks to Amanda Drennan (Local and former Paralympian) has decided to take matters into her own hands. She is going to swim around the whole of Phillip Island to not only raise money to open a medical clinic, but more importantly to create awareness of the desperate need of a local Hospital.
If anyone out there thinks this is an easy task to swim the 65kms, you are more than welcome to join her. Do not let the sharks put you off because Amanda will be swimming all of the way in a shark cage, although she only has one..

This swim will be taking place in under 6 weeks and Phillip Island really needs your support, whether it is joining the facebook page and being informed:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_119983438064693
Donating or helping to raise money, or creating awareness by informing your family and friends. You never will see the effects of telling one person but trust me it can really mean a lot. My email address is sharnee_taylor5@hotmail.com or Amandas is mandy_drennan@hotmail.com if you can help at all or even want to send Amanda your thoughts and encouragement she will greatly appreciate it. Or if you have a blog you could copy this post and add it to your blog or forward in email to your friends. Even though I can't really swim, I am behind her all the way!

Having grown up there and being in emergencies, having Warley Hospital to reply on has saved a lot of people and words cannot describe how the Hospital has impacted so many locals lives. Not having it for years now has gone on too long, please help out where you can, a little means a lot. Sharnee Taylor

Sorry that this is just a quick one this week, but better something than nothing. A soft pastel portrait of lovers in split complimentary colours

Fashion Illustrations

2010-11-10T19:43:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been a few days, even though I have finished school for the year I am still drawing everyday, well I had 2 days break last week and started having withdrawals, so I started creating some fashion Illustrations for my sister who is starting up her fashion label. I wanted them to be long, simple and beautiful. I was going to wait till I had finished them to put them up but realized how long they are going to take me, so here are the beginnings of my fashion Illustrations :)

Oils

2010-11-03T23:50:00.000-07:00

2010-10-31T20:50:00.000-07:00

Today I finished an editorial assignment about putting Metro putting T.V's on public transport now, as if advertisements arn't everywhere already. I screen printed this to show how we can become victims to societies demands and pressures. Yea another assignment down

2010-10-29T16:36:00.000-07:00

Getting there yea! I need just to do a texture in the background and a few changes to the faces.

Zebra

2010-10-28T14:41:00.000-07:00

Goodmorning friends, last night I was feeling a little over my texture assignment, so I decided to choose a completely different subject. Hopefully I can get it finished in time..

My Space

2010-10-25T22:57:00.000-07:00

I just realized that you know nothing about the space I work in. 'Space' sounds exotic, even though it is my house which I do make a mess of, but we'll go with the fancy wording. I have books, magazines, paints, brushes and paper everywhere. So here are a few snipits of where I create..

One Assignment Down

2010-10-25T19:17:00.000-07:00

As the end of the school year is coming whether I like it or not, I have been busy finishing all my schoolwork, this is the acrylic poem piece. I do not have the verse with me but pretty much it involves a guy wanting to become one with the wind. Finally I can cross one assignment off the list :)

2010-10-01T02:50:00.000-07:00

Commission Piece
This piece is for a friend in the Barossa Valley. This is still a work in progress, the image is not quite finished as well the the background needed to be filled in. I was thinking dull watercolour washes so the bike stands right out. Hope you like it

Editorial Piece

2010-10-01T02:46:00.000-07:00

This is an editorial brief about beauty, it was from an article in Vouge about beauty and how beautiful people get whatever they want, then beauty argued what they get treated like robots, just wanted to be looked at but easily dismissed and have unrealistic expectations put on them. So this was my illustration. She is being made up to the society's version on the perfect person, which of course is a not real person...

Bubushka

2010-09-15T00:36:00.000-07:00

This is a school assignment for a book cover, the books called 'A life in Pieces' by Richard Baer or maybe a Richard has a different last name I can't quite remember? The books about a lady who has multiple personalities. 17 in total. It is really interesting, yet disturbing at times. The bubushkas represent different layers/personalities. I used Illustration board and soft pastels.

Where The Legend Begins

2010-09-15T00:32:00.000-07:00

Here's another one for the father, every year in September dad and I go over to the Barosa Valley to an XT/TT muster. This is in dads terms "Where the Legend Begins"
