I’ve just been working on stuff, you see. One of those bits of stuff is evident in the picture above… see the bunch of squiggly lines down the bottom? That’s mah paisleyz on the cover of the launch issue of Peppermint magazine!
The magazine is launching this Friday in Paddington, so I might scoot along to pick up a copy. I also contributed my pretty face drawing and some hand lettering for the fashion editorial. Peppermint is going to be pretty rad if you’re into green fashion (encompasing vintage, ethical, fair trade and hand crafted prettiness) and the first issue is freeeeee.

And also from the Peppermint website, where you can organise a subscription for yourself.
I promise not to neglect you for so long dear blog. I just don’t know what to write… I have a few things happening but nothing I can really blog about, nothing seems interesting enough!
Just when I was thinking HURRAY it’s an Australian mag, it turns out it’s only East Coast… thank god for internet subscription and moving to Melbourne next year..
Your paisley clearly makes the front cover m’dear.
Aww I hope the mag does so well they can wrangle national distribution, it should just be a matter of time!
And thank you :D
Ahhhh will be sure to pick up a copy then, thanks for listing everywhere to get it!
Nice to see so many places in Brisbane.
