If I existed even 20 years earlier, I would waste a lot of paper in the process of making stuff. I’m pretty amazed at the technology I have on hand to create things, even my iPhone camera in conjunction with various apps helps me make things and I don’t have to stress about paper waste.…
A little while ago I met a couple of lovely ladies from a band called Charlie Mayfair and they asked me to draw some things for their debut EP and a poster for the launch. It was really cool working with them. I’ve never had a client who actually let me indulge so deeply in…
The other week Cristina asked me if she could include some of my artwork in her interior design 3D Studio Max class work and she has posted the result on her blog today. Such fantastic renders! I used to work for an architectural firm and found 3D rendering intriguing. I loved seeing how she incorporated…
Alannah Hill has completely ripped off the “Once Upon” logotype that was designed by Tabitha Emma for the show of the same name. Yep – that’s the show I was recently part of. I’m pretty shocked, to tell you the truth, because I have admired their dresses for years from afar. Apparently this isn’t the…
The lovely Caitlin from Blanket Magazine interviewed me for the Holiday issue, and I was rather chuffed to be in the company of Si Scott and Jessica Hische! I also contributed a very very very limited edition December desktop too! You can buy the current issue or subscribe to Blanket to get all the presents.
This month the lovely Lady Melbourne is being lovely on the cover of Peppermint magazine; my lettering is quite chuffed to hover at her shoulder! And most exciting, Peppermint won three awards for design and sustainability at the Publisher’s Australia Excellence Awards. Congratulations, I feel awesome by proxy having worked with you Kelley!
A couple of weeks ago I was notified that I’d been picked by Pilgrim and Stefan Sagmeister as a finalist in the “Happy” design contest on Red Bubble. I was pretty stoked (read: squealing) to be hand picked out of all the entries, because Mr Sagmeister’s approach towards graphic design is one I am very…
Bespoke Letterpress Boutique is a Brisbane based printery who design and print gorgeous invitations and stationery. They have just launched their Illustrators Project: a collection of 3 colour prints from emerging illustrators, a wonderful collaboration intended to support young artists. I’m kind of miffed that I didn’t know about this, but I can’t be disappointed…
This quote from Drawn! makes me sad: The decline of cursive is happening as students are doing more and more work on computers, including writing. In 2011, the writing test of the National Assessment of Educational Progress will require 8th and 11th graders to compose on computers, with 4th graders following in 2019. Handwriting is…
Red Bubble are collaborating with Stefen Sagmeister on the Happy project, and I submitted this piece (called “five“) to the contest. Basically we were asked to rate ourselves on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being depressed and 10 being elated, and submit a piece based on a template for inclusion in Sagmeister’s “Happy Film”.…
