art + photography by Helen McLean

Modeled by Helen McLean : Photographed by Jo O’Brien : Styling by Helen & Jo

Jo just posted a journal entry about how someone recognised her from my photography that was at the recent LIVE08 event!!! Strange how they thought she was Helen, when it was Helen’s work – but the recognition is nonetheless there!!!!!

As Jo writes:

…today as I walked to lunch, a girl gave me the once over as we crossed paths. Then she turned and called out “Helen.” OK, so my name is Jo, not Helen, but it was an easy mistake to make. She’d been to Live 08 and seen Helen McLean’s exhibit. Helen had been showing work from our retro pin up collaboration together. This girl was utterly wrapped to meet me in the flesh, went on about the photographs, the costumes, the locations, the styling, the effort that went into them. What I liked most of all was that she never once mentioned RedBubble. The art had spoken for itself. No popular rank, no featured galleries, no watchlists, just the art.

How about that!!!

Thank you to all the people who took the time to comment on my art + photography at LIVE08, your feedback was wonderful and made me feel very proud!

LIVE08 begins today!! My art + photography has been put up around the show - a nice mix of canvas prints, poster prints and framed prints to show the range of mediums they can be purchased.

Next exhibition: 7th March - 21st April, Junction Hotel, Newport Victoria
