Cosy

I received my copy of the first printed issue of

Blanket magazine

the other day and it dod not disappoint.

My favorite section was where they had

Sarah McNeil, Paul X. Johnson and Lizzy Stewart

illustrate portraits of three female criminals from the 1920's

with only a brief description of their crime

and then placed them beside their actual mugshots.

The illustrated versions were much cuter, let me tell you.

Little Help

I will be giving a talk at

Spectre

These are by Katy Horan.

I wish so badly I could say they are mine,

it was so difficult to choose what to post

as all of her work was super amazing.

On The Road

Here is a little project I have been

keeping under my hat for some time now!

I worked with the ridiculously lovely Sam & Vienna,

from Sanoii + Six,

on a new fabric print (my very first one!) for their Summer collection,

'On The Road'.

Below is a test swatch of the

hand screen-printed fabric and it has come up a real treat!

The girls were an absolute dream to work with

AND their clothing and swimwear are super cute

AND they also have a nice blog to read,

go see!

Hullo

I will be at the Brisbane

Finders Keepers market

next month on

Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of November,

it's my first time at the Brisbane event,

so I'm pretty excited!

Be sure to come say hi

if you are in the neighborhood!

Soul to keep

More new work...

S'wunderful

This is a new piece I made,

it took my whole life to make it.

Or maybe three months, I can't remember.

Anyway, it's titled

'Wunderkammer'

and it comes in 5x7, A4 or A3

(it looks good big if I do say so myself!)

and it is a new style that I have been working on

which combines traditional drawing with digital colouring.

It's kind of my new thing.

Also, I have been delaying the inevitable,

but it seems like everyone has a Facebook fan page these days,

so I thought it was time I jump on the bandwagon.

(At the moment, i'm the only one who likes it,

which makes it even more embarrassing.)

Blue Jean

James Jean moleskin journals.

My sketchbooks look nothing like this. How depressing.
