We're off on holidays for two weeks, so no posts unless I see something so fantastic that I have to race off to the internet cafe. I found this cute image here. xxxx
Johnny and I were too busy to celebrate Valentines Day this year, but I found this adorable bunch of flowers painted onto the footpath this afternoon in Bondi. I hope the person it was meant for got to see it. So sweet! xxxx
I've got a really fun project with a tight deadline to work on, so there won't be as many posts as usual. But here's a gold and pink butterfly I made a while back. xxxx
When I do animal drawings I always work from a photograph, and for a long time I've been in love with alpaca's, so I went searching for pics, and found this incredible image here. Everything about the image is gorgeous, especially the pink accessories and the snow capped mountains. I found the image here, but it was originally posted on Flickr by Alastair Rae. xxxx
It was nice to come home from work tonight and find out that my badges made it onto the front cover of a kids magazine, and into some of the fashion spreads as well. I scanned the images from the magazine: my child. Good timing cause I had this week set aside to take them into my favourite kid's shops.
Here's a bunny I got half way through at lunch today. After looking at Yuko Murata's work below, I kind of like it kept simple. Have a nice weekend. xxxx
Groovy Australian fashion label Romance Was Born collaborates with artist Kathryn Del Barton for their printed fabrics. Tonight they're joining forces for an installation and fashion parade called 'Garden of Eden'. I missed out on tickets to the event, but will pop up and check out the show at Kaliman Gallery tomorrow, and I guess there'll be pics on the gallery blog too. Above images are from the Romance Was Born website, and the below image is from the Kaliman Gallery website. xxxx
I got a copy of Empty magazine the other day, and read an article about Silja Goetz, a design trained illustrator from Madrid, who uses old fashioned scissors and glue to create her collaged works. She also incorporates lots of text, 'a little tribute to [her] education as a graphic designer', she says. Her website is really worth a look around as the images above don't show the full range of her work, which includes magazine and newspaper work, typography and a 40 meter mural at Vienna airport. xxxx
A couple of 'A's I did today, using the font Kevlar Slab as a starting point. And below is a pattern I did in 3D and Illustrator which I don't really like, (especially when Johnny said it reminds him of Christmas decorations), but it's good to experiment with shapes and lines. Click to see detail. xxxx
A day later....I changed the colours of the pattern so it looks less like a Christmas decoration. Even though the original colours were pink, black and white, Johnny thought they looked like red and green! xxxx
