Lauren E. Ritchie

Me: Hello, my name is Lauren Ritchie. I'm 23, I live on the Gold Coast, Australia, and I'm a receptionist.

Favourites: bright orange, Grover from Seaseme Street, boots, my boyfriend Benn, a nice warm bed, jelly beans and cannelloni, hot chocolate on a rainy day, Everclear, Primal Fear (movie, not the book), good books, teddy bears (especially Max and Bill), the number 2, mermaids, frogs and turtles (check out my tours), drawing and comments ;).

Dislikes: Smoking, people asking if I'm alright all the time, obnoxious little kids, techno/dance music, cleaning my room, people who leave their coffee cups on the table, homework, Elfwood first comment dance.

Art: I've been drawing since late 2000, no art lessons since year 8. Inspired by artists all over the internet, and good books. I know I'm not that good, but at least I'm improving. I was the artist of the day for Wed 7th of March 2005, I'm so pleased! I love Ursula Vernon's work, I've got a print of one of her alternate frogs on my wall.  Most of my work recently has been Artist Trading Cards, I just haven't had the creativity to do full-size pieces.

Updates: I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be here as much as I used to, as I've signed up for a DeviantART account and prefer the setup over there. There will still be updates here, but the best art and all non-fantasy work will be over there. Check out the link by clicking on the 'Own Gallery' button up the top.

Date Name Comment   2 May 2004 Yvonne Marie Honeyball Loading... You have a nice diverse collection of works here. There is a definite improvement in your work and style. I particularly like your more realist pieces like "Sad elf" ~*Y*~ 25 May 2004 L. ´Frog´ Janas Loading... I like your gallery, but you have no frog pictures! Where are all the frogs you like so much? Lauren E. Ritchie replies: "I jsut don't think I could do justice to a frog in any of my drawings. Plus, I can't think of an imaginative way to make them fantasy. I've got holidays coming up soon though, and I'm hoping to sit down and turn out some new works." 2 Jul 2004 Conway Loading... Keep working on anatomy and you will succeed or drive yourself mad in the attempt. You have some really great ideas. 14 Jul 2004 Jarrad Eve Loading... Great gallery here. Keep up the good work! 15 Jul 2004 C.J.'Maggie McClelland' Harley Loading...

I really like this gallery, the colours and style caught my eye and entranced me! You have a really quirky cute style, and your work is beautiful to admire. Well done, and keep up the good work!! 29 May 2005 Nikhila Williamson Loading... I just took your mermaid tour and wanted to congratulate you on how good it is. Have you ever read the book "Colm of The Island" by Rosemary Harris and Pauline Baynes? It's a picture book and the art work in it is amazing, they have very interesting mermaids. YAY! I'm always so excited when I find an other Australian on Elf wood! 11 Jun 2005 A Deviantart member Loading... Hi, I took your guided tour of mermaids, Some nice ones there. want to see a few more mermaids?? Go to the pages of Sylvia strijk and Michiel Veldhuis. http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/s/t/strijk/ http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/m/i/mikesinner2/mikesinner2.html You might see some stuff you'd like. 27 Oct 2005 Katie *Crystal* Isaac Loading... I like your work here. Everything is very bright, very eye catching. our colouring technique is coming along well and i think you have great amounts of potential. I also study psychology.
