Doodling, again

I have some form of laryngitis I fear, my throat is killing me and my voice is making sexy croaking sounds. Ewwww. I checked Illustration Friday yesterday and had an idea, but didn’t get to draw it until today. And now the word is different :( Here it is anyway! I have the weirdest songs…

Melbourne street art

We’re back! Nick and I just adored Melbourne… we were thinking about moving down earlier last (!) year but this trip really confirmed it for us. The weather was perfect – it really felt like a Brisbane winter down there, funnily enough. I took photos of the work on a few laneways… I wish I…

Paper cuts hurt!

In the last month I decided to try my hand at a little bit of paper cutting, or scherenschnitte, after seeing a few artists’ work using only a piece of paper and a sharp implement. I started using my old exacto and ended up with three choice calluses on my thumb, pointer and middle finger.…
