Share the love

Hey guys, I know I'm totally bugging everyone about this, but it just takes one second. Please jump on a computer and just head here *click* and swing me a vote.
Done!
Also, if you're feeling the love and feeling generous, feel free to share and promote my Bad Moon Rising piece -- just-get-it-out-there in the world and spread the love (and voting action).
Thanks so much for your ongoing support everyone!

WANDERING: LORNE

Bay and I travelled down to Lorne recently, just to have a go at the Great Ocean Road, and to check out the Cumberland River, which runs into the ocean in such a weird, beautiful spot. It's hard to come to grips with how diverse Australia's landscapes are... and I'm still having problems getting over these lawn daisies that grow everywhere in the south of the continent.

And that velvet and gold skirt is just beyond anything... Photos don't do it justice, but it has been proudly placed alongside those boots and that hat as my favourite things. 

Bad Moon Rising

So this little piece is my entry in Market HQ's 'Design a Tote' competition... If you're into, please vote here and it might end up on a tote bag. Personally, I'm pretty stoked with how it came out, especially considering the two attempts I had to make at it -- I'm usually of the belief that if the mojo isn't happening, you've got to let it go. 

But also thank you so much for your ongoing love and encouragement, and taking an interest in what I do!...

Workdays

Two little sketchbook outtakes... These are just pre-work sketches (with a little pit of after-the-fact Photoshop play) that burn up a bit of creative energy before I sit down to a day in the office... Wish I had more hours in more days. 

Cool things are coming though, stay tuned.

Ornament and others

Ok, I'm going to stop bothering you with this soon, but I'm still pretty excited about having actual, physical prints on professional, heavyweight paper hanging around in my house, ready to head out into the world.

The three prints pictured above -- Ornament, Moran and Bleach II -- have just gone up on my online store here.

I guess the next step is finding a printer for shirts...

But in the meantime, thank you so much for all your support and kind words, and keeping me motivated to do scary stuff like go to the printshop.

This is my beautiful sister Nadine and her funny dog Shadow -- and I promise I'm not going to start making this whole blog about Shadow, he's just had a good run in the photo stakes lately.

Any positive changes in the Melbourne weather have got to be celebrated by trying to soak up as much sun as possible... I'm hoping these beautiful days are going to be more consistent from now on...

On the road...

So it's that Arizona Trading Post shirt and that printed dress... that are going on the long list of things I'm buying myself for Christmas. Then me and my baby are going to pack up the car, drive the coast road from Melbourne to Eden, blast some southern rock and drink some whiskey. 

Swift and a huntress

"...he reached to hold what cannot be held, what already ran among the mountains at once terrible and of great beauty, like flowers that feed on flesh. What blood and bone are made of but can themselves not make on any altar nor by any wound of war. What we may well believe has power to cut and shape and hollow out the dark form of the world surely if wind can, if rain can. But which cannot be held never be held and is no flower but is swift and a huntress and the wind itself is in terror of it and the world cannot lose it."
