We’re excited to be kicking off our “Takeover Tuesday” series today where a Lilla Rogers Studio artist will takeover and ambush Lilla’s Instagram account @Lillarogers.  It will be a glimpse into a day in the life of being a Lilla Rogers artist #ArtistAmbush.

We are lucky to have a sneak peak into Zoe Ingram’s life today as a working artist in Australia. Zoe won the first ever Global Talent Search in October 2013.  It has been a life changing event for her!

Art above is by Zoe Ingram:  a personal piece titled “Sea Air”.

Don’t miss out follow along in the fun @lillarogers on Instagram and #ArtistAmbush.

Dear All,

Today is the moon festival in Taiwan. Here is the card I made,I wish you all enjoy the beautiful moon tonight:)

Hi Lilla! Today I wanted to share with you some more photographs from my USA work trip. After visiting the New England Aquarium, I walked along the waterfront & stumbled across some truly amazing colours & textures at the boating marina. I must have spent at least an hour documenting all the imperfections & beauty. Enjoy!

Love,

Rachael

because you get these gorgeous and lovely birthday wishes from your artists! Lilla is so lucky – Julia

“Front Row Society in collaboration with Anthropologie are holding a competition. The brief was to design a scarf 200cm x 65cm based on one of the four elements and the winning three will be produced and sold in the UK branches of Anthropologie and online this autumn.

You can view all the entrants here.

I don’t think I’ve ever designed anything so big before! Here are some close ups too. I chose Earth as it’s definitely the element I most connect with. I called mine “Gone to Earth” – partly after the animals that live and seek refuge underground, the idea of returning to nature and after one of my most favourite films with that name by Powell and Pressburger.”

Wow. My sublimely talented artist, Trina Dalziel, painted this based on the photos I shot (below) and posted on Facebook. Love this so much.

My good friend, Joslyn, is running an amazing experiment which is a lot of fun for everyone involved. – Julia

“I have been brewing an idea for a way to crowd-fund the raincoat I splurged on in Seattle. I’m excited to officially launch Creative Truth or Dare. This has been one of the most fun and also frustrating projects so far. Frustrating only because I overestimated my ability to code buttons on a homemade website.

Creative Truth or Dare. Here’s how it works:

You pick whether you want a TRUTH or a DARE.
You give me $5 to help with a very good cause (my fashion rehabilitation).
I will send you an assignment. If you pick TRUTH, the assignment will be of a more introspective nature, and will possibly be something you can journal about or just think about while you are taking a walk. It may not involve sharing with anyone else. So this is a good option if you are scared or just a major introvert, which is totally valid and I can absolutely relate.
If you are braver, and pick DARE, you’ll get a creative assignment that will ask you to do something possibly more extroverted or at least more hands-on. Be aware that my definition of “creative” is very loose.
If you want to get an idea of some of the TRUTH and DARE assignments so far, check out the voluntary SHARE page on the site.

Oh and by the way, I cannot emphasize enough the personal nature of this project. There is no robot at work, but just little old me on the other end of your button-press, getting an email from PayPal and then coming up with a customized assignment directly for you. So, sometimes it takes me a few hours to think of the perfect thing. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t get an instant reply. I will get back to you. I would not smite you!

Here are some of the results of the dare:

Jordan’s assignment:
“Write a haiku and send it in a telegram to an older person in your life who you really love.”
Jordan sent this to his mom.

I love this piece. Simple and pretty storytelling. – Ashley
