ANGIE REHEI’m a Melbourne-based designer and

illustrator and have been working in the

fashion industry since graduating from

university in the late 80’s.

After years of travelling the world and

designing for some of Australia’s favourite

fashion brands, I saw the light and now make

illustration – my first love – my number one.

Besides keeping up with Patsyfox.com, I

mix freelance work with teaching fashion

illustration and design at RMIT and in my own

boutique classes at The Patsyfox Drawing

Salon. I have a line of Bridal Sketches,

illustrating brides in their beautiful dresses by

commission, and am currently illustrating for

Elle magazine.

I am a gun for hire, whose work can be

found in magazines, print advertisements,

fashion websites, brochures, invitations,

design storyboard presentations, books, trend

forecasting, greeting cards, and stationery.

Mantra? I design-draw-write-photograph,

therefore I am.

Angie Réhe’s Bulldog tops charity auction

in Melbourne

November 5, 2013 On Melbourne Cup Day

I’m sharing with you le creation magnifique of

Melbourne illustrator Angie Réhe.

Her hand-painted french bulldog was

auctioned at the Dress For Success charity

fundraiser in Melbourne last week and fetched

the highest price! “I was literally spitting my

champagne in shock. There was a bidding war

4

between someone in the room, and a woman

in Brisbane who was on the phone – amazing!

I felt rather humbled because there were some

very big name artists there and there was my

little doggy in his cat mask up on the podium.

My doggy does have a good story behind him

also though. Meet The Outsider – He is an

existentialist French bulldog who is in love

with a cat. With his feline mask he tries to get

near her but she runs and he is left to wander

the streets of Paris alone. His heart is broken

but he regrets nothing.

The Outsider wears a classic French tee, his

tattoos represent “love” and “No, I have no

regrets” (Taken from the Edith Piaf song).

He is of course wearing a cat mask, and the

writings on his body are my favourite passages

from the Albert Camus existentialist novel

“The Outsider” (“L’Etranger”). They are

written in the formation of the Paris street

map, with my own silhouette (taken from one

cut in paper of me by a Parisian street artist

a long time ago) marking the spot of the

Arc De Triomphe. A thoroughly French and

thoroughly tortured dog!

just say I’m excited then multiply that by 100!

Wow, how very cool this is! I’m a magazine

junkie – piles of mags literally line my walls, and

I’ve always wanted to see my illustrations inside

some. To see them in ELLE with its creative,

arty feel is very very exciting! They’re also a

pleasure to work with because they appreciate

and enjoy illustration.” Just another reason to

buy it every month or subscribe and enjoy that

divine free face cream… it’s not a tricky decision

really.

Sketchbook – Angie Réhe

The Private Sketchbook of Angie Réhe

I lwove sketchbooks - what a fabulous thing

they are. I take one on all my travels, local

and overseas. I have one to carry around and

record spontaneous ideas, and a couple of years

ago I started a moleskin diary page-to-a-day

sketchbook where I had to draw something of

some sort every day for the year (I got to August

and my wheels fell off but I’m still working

on filling it). They all suffer feast and famine

attention, but they keep going.

My passion for spontaneous sketching started

as a child when our mum would encourage

us to paint murals on the sheds on our farm

growing up. This mural on my bedroom wall

I did when I was supposed to be doing some

much needed DIY on my house – I just drew

and painted directly onto the wall, standing on

a ladder. It was so much fun. My walls are old

plaster that crumbles easily so there’s no stress

about ruining good walls – I love the freedom of

this! I have also painted my kitchen door with

blackboard paint so I can I draw on it and rub it

out as it suits me. I did this sketch while waiting

for someone to pick me up so it was loose and

spontaneous.

So sketching really is part of my life.

The background to this particular sketchbook

is that it covered a little inspirational holiday

I took last June/July 2102. My niece and very

close friend Jaclyn who is an artist and tattoo

artist, was moving to London so we took a trip

together as a last hoorah! We took in every
