Print is dead, long live print!

Detailed shot of my lettering saying "the global issue" on the front of Peppermint.

I’m always very chuffed to be asked to be part of anything printed, whether it be a zine or a magazine because it means people are holding something that my lines embellish, acknowledging it and sometimes even keeping it for a while. Physical objects are important and they take up space in the real...

August desktop, horah!

Hand drawn desktop design with green toned starburst, clouds, paisley and bunting with a banner saying "AUGUST".

Down this part of the globe it’s been the 1st of August for a whole day and I hope you won’t hold my tardiness against me. Maybe you’re only just starting the month in your part of the world? Then I hope I’m posting this in time! I quite like august as a word...

Primping and preening

I did a bit of sprucing up on my blog this evening. I’d been meaning to for a while but time had gotten away from me! As always, I got way too into it and started playing in Illustrator with lettering I’d copied from sketches. My soundtrack all day has been Sia’s new album,...

A new sketchbook for me

The other week I took some time to draw for myself, an unusual occurrence in the last six months – something I’ve desperately missed. I don’t know if any of these drawings are finished just yet, but I’ll be sure to put them up in my store when they are. (Yes, store! You can...

The clear blue skies of July

The clear blue skies of July

I’ve been doing a bit of drawing and experimenting for myself in the last week, and one of the things I’ve liked doing is drawing in white gouache over a black inked background. Doodling with a paintbrush is becoming a frequent thing for me because it helps relieve a lot of hand and wrist...

It’s June already!

I always think I’ll get these desktops done early but I rarely do, my months just seem to get busier and busier! Today I can offer you June’s wallpaper but a few hours late – or not at all if your particular part of the world is still clinging to May 31st. Pick a...

All things seem possible in May

All things seem possible in May

May is such a lovely month here in Brisbane. The air gets a little crisper but the sun is still strong and it’s perfect weather to read a book in the sun. Because many of you are from the other side of the world, I am mindful not to make my designs too southern...
