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…

Presents!

My birthday was on Saturday and Nick bought me Prismacolors! I’d been wanting some for a long time but was always put off by the cost. They are very lovely to use, but I have to be so delicate with them in case the leads break. I’m so paranoid, I’m almost handling them with white…

Mucha inspired illustrations

So, while I’m in a blogging mood I should show you a few things I’ve been doing. Yes, I have been around but I just haven’t been inspired to blog. It seems like everything has been blogged about a million times already, and the only use for me blogging those things is to increase my…
