PRESENTS FROM BUILD
Oh god. Oh god. Oh sweet mother of jesus and all of his men and the horses they all rode in on. I now own, my very own, Designers Republic issue of Emigre from 1994. That's VINTAGE. My anniversary with my beloved beau, Matthew, was fast approaching, so I whipped into action a few months prior and emailed Michael C Place from Build, London, to ask if there was any hope of them having left over stock, or any spare copies of, well, really anything. Including Emigre, when Michael was working for The Designers Republic. His wife Nicky and I, from there on in began and cyber friendship where we'd wait for each others exchange of doting conversial wordstrums, see yous, thankyous and all the bests. Luckily enough, they were about to post alot of stuff that was just hanging around the studio up on their blog, to sell, so I got first dibbs on everything!! And scored one of the two Emigres that were left! Choice! Here are some photos of gift unwrapping on a day in October.
–BUILD vs DETUND silkscreen w/ flouro pink overlay poster.
This is a huge almost A1 poster designed back in 2006 by Michael for Detroit Underground. It cost me a little over $100 but was absolutely, completely more than worth it. They only had a few left and I'd been searching to get this for Matt for so long, so I'm lucky I snapped it up.
SOME NEW THINGS
My very first solo show.
I was slightly rushed and churned out what I needed to. I sold a few pieces and the rest came home with me and reside in my living room with all the other junk.
Recently Matt and I sank our teeth into a beautifully huge warehouse in Prahan. A crazy big studio space to live the dream and live and breath art and design. So stay tuned for some sweet sweet burning love.

alejandra román
Here is just a small publication that was designed for a college brief by a girl I came across on Behance. I quite like the cover Infact, I love the layout and shapes of the monochrome images. Very nice work, although the design of the inside pages, no way near compliment the jacket and aren't really worth a mention.

THE ART OF BARBIE
It's been forever. It's been far too long. It's taken me until now now now. And thus it's ringing clearer than ever. I'm procrastinating. I'm actually aware of a purposeful distraction. I caught myself doing it. I'm still doing it. Even now. And now.
But it has been a while. A great slab of time. I guess I lost interest and I am soon to have my very own website to sift through my of my work. Made stuff and stuff that help me made stuff. Yumm. But in the interim, here's something i hope you'll really like.....
THE ART OF BARBIE
Edited by Craig Yoe
(1995)
A beautiful book, dawning a front cover illustrated by Andy Wahol, filled with 100 artists impressions of the ever perfectuous, Barbie. Here are a few images of it taken from the internet I found across my travels.

WE SOLD OUR KENT TOGETHER
Recently Matt & I sold our first piece together at Freebrains, a group exhibition in at SJS Gallery in Fitzroy.
His name, is 'Kent'.
KINFOLK
My new little project, well not so new. My beautiful friends Asuka and Jarrod invited me to create and paint the walls of their new cafe Kinfolk in the early days of March. It's been a few months now, and although it may look kind of sheer, there's been so many hours invested so far. I won't write much now, but basically the Cafe is a non-profit ball of joy and has four countries and charity based organisations to allocate your coffee money to. It was built and is operated by volunteers and most of the equipment they're using for service was donated to them. Up and coming artists from the Melbourne area have donated artwork and splashed live work onto the walls providing a quaint artists hub and energy which it certainly isn't short of! It's been a lot of hard work, and so many amazing people helping out, so we thought it'd be quite apt, to run the theme...'Giving an arm and a leg' as the mural's voice. It's truly been, so far, and incredible surge of excitement to see Kinfolk lift off the ground so smoothly. My boyfriend Matt has gotten involved and we've been working together for the first time which has been so beautiful. So here are a few of the 'really ordinarily shot' photographs of what we've been up to.
