Ooh what have we here? That’s right, a bonus desktop wallpaper! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll have seen me go from being stuck in a creative rut to finding the time and energy to draw pretty much every day (previously unheard of!). I have you to thank for that – your words
I often find it a struggle to come up with a design for November’s desktop background. This month feels a bit like limbo as I come down from a Halloween high and then have to wait patiently for December to arrive before I can fully get into festive-mode. Since there was no holiday to illustrate
It’s funny how our minds work. I posted last week about how I was in the biggest creative rut; I had too many ideas and not enough time, which felt so overwhelming that I just stopped making altogether. Then as soon as I shared that, it was like a weight had been lifted. The fog
You know those moments when you meet someone for the first time and before they’ve even said a word, it already feels like you’ve known them all your life? Well that was how I felt when I heard about Gift Boss. Receiving the brief for this project was like catching up with an old friend
Hello October! It’s the month of Halloween and while I find myself getting more and more into this holiday with each passing year, I still can’t bring myself to draw anything scary or gory to mark the celebrations. I guess orange and black will never be my thing. So instead, here’s something pink and shiny
Although things have gotten a bit quiet here lately, there’s been a lot action of behind-the-scenes as I work on a brand new and very exciting project. It’s one I’ve dreamt of bringing to life for the better part of my creative career and I can’t wait to share it with you! This shift in
Long time readers will know that I’ve got something of a crazy plant lady streak in me that no amount of plant-killing has been able to cure. And now that spring is upon us, I couldn’t help but illustrate the level of plant-ownership I one day aspire to (much to my husband’s dismay haha). Although
Someone please tell me how it’s almost the end of August? That can’t be right. The first cherry blossoms have bloomed in our backyard and the weather’s getting warmer every day… but surely it was the middle of winter only last week?! Clearly I’m in denial about the crazy passing of time (nothing new there).
My, the days just whiz by. I blinked and somehow nearly a whole month has passed since my last post. There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes lately – Lauren’s started daycare, I’ve found part-time work, and adjusting to these big changes has left little room for creative side projects. I did manage to
I tried so very hard to draw some winter flowers for this month’s wallpaper, really I did. It was suitably freezing in my studio, I’d picked some beautiful camelias from our garden as inspiration, and I had a hot cup of tea steaming beside my sketchpad for good measure. But when it came to putting
I think it’s safe to say that this is the biggest home project I’ve ever undertaken. Although I may be a dab hand at small crafts, room makeovers aren’t my forte so I generally stay well away. With my lack of knowledge around power tools, I have (quite well founded) fears that I’ll put a
The first of June arrived and bam! Like clockwork, Sydney turned on the winter weather. It’s been cold, wet and windy all week, and while I’d usually relish the idea of cosying up indoors with a blanket and Netflix, being stuck inside with a bored toddler isn’t half as much fun. So I’ve been channelling
