Blogged Downzzz



Nonchalant Natter was covering tooo much ground.... at times self indulgent..... at times interested in the art of others... at times culturally reflective... but mostly hickledy pickledy and all over the shop....

so now: i have divided my blogging indugence into three areas of interest

Artist Ellen Jaye Benson

Elle Jaye Rose RedBubble page (most revealing...really pop fun work: ellejayerose tees and calendars, some serious work, artsy happy snaps of me, my writing, what i love a favourites gallery etc.

'Orphan Ornaments Artisan Bazaar' (art, illustration, design, craft blog) where i house an online appreciation gallery with samples of other peoples work i am captivated with and links to their online work

I will leave the archives of Nonchalant Natter open for the fans and the curious to browse.... but doubt i will be doing much more posting here....

Arbitary Observations Involving a Pen and a Pot of Tea





ellejayerose wants to come visit you! (If your local) ...
She begs you to let her observe and record you in the comfort of your abode, where you are most likely to be most human and most you (unless you have a freaky house mate that tinkers with your things so you are always on edge)...
I really NEED to get back into observing and recording, getting lost in conversation, forgetting about the past and future getting lost in the present temporal. This year I wish to be extremely disciplined in my use of time and energy and wish to find people who would be honoured to become part of my work and part of my creative mania.
please email me for more info if you are interested. Put the kettle on and invite me round :)

ellejayerose wants you! i wanna scrutinisingly observe and record an essense of your face the temporal, the twitches, the telling... please offer to pose for me!

Comic Relief: Perillo Finally Publishes Slaved Over Graphic Novel




"Perillo's "Homeward Angel: Violent Awakening" is an insightful and personal verisimilute of late-teen rites of passage...with every painstaking itch, graze, bump and growth spurt accounted for. Moments of escape are playfully glorified in a technicolour hyperealism that even 'The Mighty Boosh' would envy...and quite probably pastiche.."
--- elle jaye rose @--{--<
So proud to bump noggin toboggins with the remarkably gifted flawless draftsman and conceptual playground that is emerging artist 'Marcus Perillo'
If you have a heart and a brain preview and buy his self-published graphic novel!
* go find the Wizard of Oz if lacking the above corporeal matter...

"Lullaby...Drift..."









not resolved yet.... but impatient as i am.... i had to upload...feedback wanted...
from the series "lullaby...drift..."
unfortunately not a good photo representation - can't get a good enough impression of the shellac based ink sheen contrasting the silk dye vivid colour saturation
hope to exhibit with leif nash.... when resolved!
