A train of thought

Ever lost your train of thought?
I think I might have found it.

BIrthday Presents

Recently it was a my friend's birthday (or birthdays I should say.) So I got them something more homemade, some Macaroons (actually spelt Macarons which my sister made), a hand drawn card and some extra chocolate just for fun.

So I made the box packaging out of some cardboard which had a nice floral pattern, label... well lets just say I need to practice my calligraphy more.

Also made some more box packaging and labels (which will be posted soon.) But once you start making one box you get used to cutting and folding and sticking and stacking cycle, but it just gets too repetitive.

belated blog for AGIdeas

I never got the chance to blog about AGIdeas 2011, which was an amazing 3 days. Some of my favourite speakers were:

Ken Miki (Japan)
Loved the illustration of the continuous line.

Oslo Davis (Australia)
Quick, humorous illustrations with pen and watercolour
(Now I know what Justin Bieber looks like with a beard.)

Chris Doyle (Australia)

Benjamin Ducroz (Australia)
Great animations, definitely would have taken a long time to make.

Dean Gorrison

Something Splendid
(If you haven't tried the 'cocktail typer' then go try it! http://cocktailtyper.com/)

The list could go on until all 40 speakers are listed! But I think I like the old venue better at the Art Centre, but it was still worth while.The lunch was delicious, loved the panna cotta pear dessert.

Also I went with friend to a studio R-Co, it was nice to see how much work is involved in putting together pitches and the brands.

Fishy friends

For one of my projects I made a growth chart for children about the layers of the ocean, which had to be educational. So I had been drawing fish and found these amazing ink textures I did about 3 years ago. I used them for the background to create a underwater environment.

Also created a weird and wacky typeface for the title.
