CD Cover

I designed the cover for the the compilation CD that the music department at NMIT publishes each year. 

They wanted something that used naive hand lettering and had an urban feel. The head of department said she wanted fox people because they are 'an urban pest, just like musicians' haha. 

June / July

- I'm on break from university so I went home to northern New South Wales to visit my family. Its so much warmer up there and there was lots of wildlife (including this cute koala). It was really nice to be around nature and my cat and dog.

- It's been really cold in Melbourne and I've been enjoying warm porridge for breakfast. My favourite way to have it is with honey mixed in and stewed apples, currants and cinnamon on top.

- I've had lots of time to draw in my sketchbook. It's good to use a sketchbook because theres no pressure to have a finished perfected artwork.

- I made my self a shopping bag out of lovely yellow fabric.

- It was cold and horrible and rainy today so I made some cupcakes.

- I made myself some new brooches to decorate my backpack.

- Being home made me miss having nature around me so I bought some new house plants. These are the latest additions. My favourite is the lavender because it reminds me of home.

- I saw Broken Circle Breakdown at the cinema and it was really good. It was so so sad but the music was amazing. My favourite song was this one.

- I've been making art for myself and other people, which I will post here soon.

-I've been enjoying The Bletchley Circle, on iview.

- This song is really lovely. It's a bit country but its nice to think of the beauty in Australian nature when theres so much ugliness happening in politics right now.

Ours and Yours

Here are the pictures I did for "Ours and Yours"*. It was such a lovely night with beautiful calm music (My favourites were Winter Solstice and The Forty Thieves) and a really cosy atmosphere with lanterns and lamps and cushions all over the floor.  

* I will be selling the remaining pictures in my shop

Ours and Yours

I designed this poster for an event that's happening at The Box in West End on thursday night. I'll be exhibiting my art along with some other cool artist and photographers, there'll be some lovely folk musicians playing their tunes as well, and there'll also be yummy baked goods. If you're going to be in the Brisbane area this thursday night you should definitely come along, It'll be really fun!

Campfire

I've been really busy lately with university assessments and stuff, so I haven't really had time to make art or update my blogs or anything in the last two weeks, but I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures I've been working on. The bottom two are for the poster of an event I'm involved in, and the first one was just for fun!

It was such a lovely warm, sunny, breezy day today. Perfect for just lazing around and listening to music (not so good for getting things done but I've been so busy for the last couple of weeks I felt like I needed some down time) so I thought I'd make a playlist of some of the songs I've been listening to lately:

• Snowmine - Trial and Error
• Mountain Man - Arabella
• Nick Drake - Kimbie
• Laura Marling - Made By Maid
• Fleet Foxes - Montezuma
• Tinpan Orange - Lovely
• Josh Pyke - The Lighthouse Song

If you like you can listen to them here. I hope you're having a lovely day too!
