I was lucky enough to receive a ffffound.com invite from a fellow designer on RedBubble! YAY! This is the sweetest thing I’ve seen for a while, and I thought I’d pass the sweetness on. The wedding is consuming me! It is one of the most amazing experiences of consumption, art direction, typography and event planning…

Take a peek at my Mum’s card collection!
I am really super duper stupid busy right now with freelance, commissions, wedding planning etc. I thought I’d be nice and post some vintage ephemera for you all to enjoy! My mum has an awesome collection of all the cards she has ever been given. From her birth til now – including her 21st birthday…
Today’s found images
If I can’t have a ffffound account, well I’m just going to dump images I like here! Hope you enjoy as much as I did – I think I’m a freak, I totally pour over images I find! This is one of the posters that LA Pop Art create – they’ve used the first four…
Another Naked & Angry Submission
I created the above pattern for the illustration in the entry below and thought I should submit it to Naked & Angry because I wasn’t really happy with my first submissions. I’m at least happy with the balance in this pattern, as well as the colour scheme. If you like it, please vote for it…
What gets you through the day?
I asked my friends a few questions and let their answers guide me. This is just an exercise in illustration I guess. I’ve been pretty busy (thanks silly season) but I wanted to make a few designs that incorporated copy. I’m going to keep adding to this set on flickr. Check back regularly! In other…
Life & Design – polar opposites no longer!

Monday Illustration
Actually I did this on Friday, but that’s between you and I. I’m feeling rather dizzy from working with resin! I have a respirator with a filter for dust particles, but it doesn’t work for resin fumes when it’s still liquid. I’m counting down the days until I can fiddle faddle full time with my…
I’ve got new toys!
My fiance bought me a Riso PG-11 system for my birthday, even though my birthday is in December (on the 20th!). The jig was up after he let slip when I stated that I was just going to go ahead and purchase one for myself out of my “professional development” money (all the money I…
