midnight animal troupe

"the cat had such sparkling eyes that they shone like a torch, the dog barked and acted as sentinel, the cock crowed to frighten the lions, the parrot chattered so loudly that people thought a great company of persons must be talking, and thus robbers left a free passage to our travellers, and the sheep walking a few paces in advance, prevented her falling into the big holes he himself had some trouble in avoiding." - The Pigeon and the Dove from The Fairy Tales of Madame D'Aulnoy

Hello there friends! I have been hiding, but I'm back again and I have a new illustration to share with you! "midnight animal troupe" is the partner to "the best of friends" which you can see in my previous post. I really enjoyed drawing them both, I think I'd like to do more childrens book illustrations in the future.

I also have a new scanner and new mac so you can expect to see a lot more posts from me from now on! as soon as i figure out how they work...

our graduating exhibition, illustre, is on tonight at Chapel Off Chapel gallery. 
(my hummingbird is our logo. special!)

i hope to see you there! & if you do come make sure you say hello to the girl with blue hair :)

When:Tuesday 6pm - 8pm 8 November 2011
Where: 12 Little Chapel St, Prahran, Melbourne Victoria, 3181


it runs from the 8th of November until the 27th 
so if you didn't make it to the opening you still have plenty of time to pop down for a looksee.

the best of friends

"The beautiful princess had a sheep whom she dearly loved; she delight in making him garlands of flowers, and at other times decking him with knots of ribbon. " - The Pigeon and the Dove from The Fairy Tales of Madame D'Aulnoy

new drawing!

little shepherdess and her sheepy friend, she likes to dress him up with ribbons and roses. expect to see more of her very soon...

watership down

we were given a book cover assignment to do in class, we were to create an illustration and font. i chose watership down... surprised? 

if you haven't read it already you should, especially if you like bunnies. however it is quite sad. when i was small my mum bought me the movie to watch, but then she wouldn't let me see it for years because she was afraid i would cry.  

smart move mum.
