evie cahir introducing melbourne’s evie cahir, a young illustrator and pretzel roller. Tell us a little about yourself. I am a 20 year old drawer/sketcher/illustrator originally from Ballarat, currently living in Collingwood, Melbourne. What do you do and why do you do it? I am studying a Bachelor of Illustration at NMIT. I wake up and reach for caffeine, my 2B pencil and paper because it’s what I love. Is there anything in particular that has influenced you and your creative process? What inspires you? I draw what ever I have been inspired and influenced by; mainly tasty meals, tram trips and funny stories and scenarios from chums! What do you do when you’re not working on your drawings? When I’m not working on my designs I am buying sheets of thick watercolour paper, rolling pretzels for money, sharpening pencils, taking late night bike rides around the block and brainstorming future-drawing-projects with fellow classmate-drawing-buddy Nina Elliott. Are you working on any particular projects at the moment? I am currently slogging away on a body of work for an exhibition at RoofTop Art Space, my first solo exhibition in Melbourne! Best advice you’ve been given? “Keep your eyes on the prize” and “surround yourself with hardworking people” are two great pearls of wisdom I have received lately. I attempt to relate and apply this to my own work. Check out more of Evie’s work at www.eviecahir.tumblr.com
