Goodbye Oz - Hello England

I've had 'packing my backpack' on my to-do list for the past few days. Today I finally got around to doing the deed- all in all it took about 10 minutes and it probably only weighs a few kilos. I'm going nice and light as I will have a lot of walking/travelling to do since I live up North in England and I am flying into London to see a friend first. It feels good taking only a few possessions. Most importantly I will be packing my fountain pen, sketchbook and MacBook. I have an 8 hour stop over in Bangkok so I will be doodling non stop to keep myself awake.

These two illustrations are part of a larger project I am working on - I can't wait to tell you all what it is about! I hope you like them - I'm enjoying the symmetry in them. I'd like to say hello to all the new followers to my blog, you can also follow me on twitter - it's normally the odd tweet about a new drawing on the blog.

Well I suppose I will say Goodbye Oz for now .....and Hello England soon....x

p.s. this is the song that played whilst walking up the aisle at my wedding:

Shine By Three Interview

Hello - how are you all? I wanted to share a little interview/collaboration with Shine By Three please click to have a read and see my drawing of Margaret Zhang in one of her gorgeous outfits. Margaret is a super talented fashion blogger featuring her own signature style and also interviewing fashion designers from all over the globe. She has been seen in Grazia and Teen Vogue which I think is a damn great achievement for a 17 year old lady. Thank you to Margaret for the collaboration - it was so much fun!

The drawing above is something I have been working on - I might have some exciting news to tell about it soon...so keep your eyes peeled.

Storm in a tea cup

I finished this drawing today and I think it reflects the onset of Winter here in Sydney. There is a touch of gold in it as this is my favourite colour at the moment. I love cups of tea on cold days and the swirliness of the tea when the milk is added so I have named this one a Storm in a Tea Cup. It looks like I am sticking my face in there to keep warm :-)
