FASTER PUSSYCAT KILL KILL

I was recently asked to contribute to a group show at Outre Gallery called ‘A League of Their Own’ - a showcase of loveable misfits, bad ass legends and vociferous villains. I couldn’t go past the iconic Varla (Tura Satana), Billie (Lori Williams) and Rosie (Haji) from Russ Meyers 1965 cult classic, Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Shot in black and white, such classic scenes and styling, with the best one liners.

The original painting on plywood sold but due to an overwhelming response I have released a limited edition of giclee prints available from A3+ to A0 size in the online store. So now you can now take legends Tura, Lori and Haji home with you. :)

ARBORY x FOUR PILLARS

The Arbory Afloat in Melbourne have collaborated with Four Pillars to create a limited edition pink ‘Miami Afloat Gin’ exclusive to their Yarra River bar, featuring one of my illustrations on the label.

The ingredient list includes pineapple sage, orris root, strawberry gum, the peels of orange, lemon and grapefruit and the pink colour is the addition of Davidson Plums.

Unfortunatey the gin is not available to buy but you can taste it exclusively at the Arbory Afloat in Melbourne. I can vouch that it tastes as good as it looks. But be quick, the pink gin party will be over by the end of summer :)

Big thanks to 21-19 for the awesome design and Jacky Winter all things biz.

PLAYBOY FEMLIN

Late last year I received an email from Playboy US asking me to create an updated version of Leroy Neiman’s Femlin. I was beyond excited and flattered. I have always loved Neiman’s mischievous, nymphish character he created for the Party pages of Playboy magazine in 1955 and continued to create in the 60’s and 70’s.

It was so fun to work on this. It’s not often I receive a job where nudity is actually encouraged! And the art directors at Playboy were so lovely to work with.

I’m yet to see it in print but here are some of the images which are in the new quarterly Playboy magazine which launched Jan 18th 2019. Keep your eyes peeled at quality news stands.

BITCHCRAFT CALENDAR

Calling all covens, lovers of all things witchy, bitchy and little bit wicked! I had such a fun time working on the Bitchcraft Calendar -The Art of Being A Wicked Woman by Workman Publishing. Pairing my illustrations with my kinda mantras like ‘My Crystal Ball tells me that you’re full of shit’. Makes the perfect gift for any wannabe witch or cynic.

Available via several online and bricks and mortar stores in the US including Amazon. Pageaday.com are offering a 20% discount if you use the coupon Bitchcraft20 on their site until the end of 2018. It is also available online in Australia via Angus and Robertson, Booktopia and eBay amongst others.

LEILANI

Aloha! A new print is in the store and somehow I forgot to post it here! Following on from China Girl, this is Leilani, featuring all things Hawaiian. The name was inspired by the Hoodoo Gurus song of the same name, taken from their classic 80’s debut album, Stoneage Romeos. It’s still a fave of mine. Leilani is a Hawaiian name that means heavenly flower.

My great grandfather lived in Hawaii for sometime and came back to Australia to design and build his home inspired by his travels, complete with palm trees. It was a very unusual design for 1905. He named it Hale Mauka (house on the hill) and it still stands today.

She is available in A3 size up to A0 poster size. Shown below holding the A2 size. Head to the shop for more details.

My two prints 'The Jungle Room' and 'Pineapple Mary' sitting pretty in an Hawaiian Island Style editorial. Complete with pineapples, flamingoes and tropical goodness, they look right at home.

HOLIDAY ISLAND DREAMING

RIP Bowie.

SWEET VALENTINES!

Happy Valentines lovers!

BUILT TO SPILL

I recently had the pleasure of designing a poster for Built To Spill's latest Australian tour by Feel Presents. Built to Spill are an American indie rock band that formed in the 90's and are touring their latest album, 'Untethered Moon'. I wanted to go with a comic book cover space theme. I always love to be able to combine my love of illustration and hand drawn type, and even better a space girl. Inspired by the lovely Jean Shrimpton.

JUNGLE BOOGIE!

My printed Jungle Room cushions just arrived in the mail! I am super chuffed with the quality. The colours are spot on and they are printed on a soft linen textured fabric, not too dissimilar to a backcloth which I love! I've attached some close up pics of the fabric below to show the texture. The same image appears on the front and back and they are finished with an invisible zip. Sweet!

There will be more designs to come but I currently have just a few of the Jungle Room cushions 16" x 16" (41 x 41cm) available for sale in the shop, retailing for AUD$55 plus GST. Sold without the insert.

Registered postage in Australia is $7.50.  International postage with tracking is $23. 

Perfect in the boudoir.....

...or just loungin'.

THE JUNGLE ROOM

There's a new print in the house! The Jungle Room. I've had this girl lurking around but she's finally ready for you in the shop. She prints up big, up to A0 poster size.

The Jungle Room was my favourite room at Graceland. It was so ridiculously over the top, so I thought she should hang here. More is more, no? Do you think Elvis would approve?

SUCCULENTS GALORE!

This was my entry for the Global Talent search. The brief was to create a piece of Wall Art with 'Little Terrariums' as the theme. it was a pretty open brief but had to include one word of text. I didn't make the cut but you can see the 50 winners (and all other 999 entries) here. There are still 2 rounds of briefs to go to choose one final winner. Good luck to everyone in Round 2!

NEW WEBSITE!

Whoot! Well it is long overdue and finally arrived. A new updated website! Big thanks to my hard working art director/designer hubby @haynsie for helping me create this. A labour of love….non?

My blog will move from http://nerylwalker.blogspot.com.au to here but I will keep it up for the time being.

Glad you could stop by, make a cuppa and stay a while. I love visitors!
