Bits and pieces of the surfeit of moving parts that make up the whole. 

I've just joined the talented crew of illustrators and artists on the Lake Coloring app. A lot of people have asked me about producing colouring books or pages, and this is my first little foray into that area (albeit digital). 

I've personally never been too interested in colouring for fun or to relax – mostly because it's part of what I do for work! – but I really adore the way Lake works, and all the visuals involved... it's a very well executed app. Plus I get to share in the worlds of so many other illustrators, which is new and different! 

The above is a little sneak peek into my pages in process, and there's more info about Lake here. Also, I'm running a giveaway of a couple of Lake subscriptions over on my Instagram!

There's not actually a whole lot of sketchbook in this post -- mostly torn-out sheets that were scanned and digitised for commercial work and jobs... So this is really a sneak-peek at what I'm working on when my sketchbook and social media goes quiet. 

It's also an absolute celebration and worship of springtime sun in summer country. Sure beats the hell out of an extended Melbourne winter!

Also appearing on the fringes of this post is Rusty Rose bandana, available here, Ironlak markers and pens, and a little sneak into my upcoming release on Lake Coloring app, which is an incredible digital colouring app with artwork from a whole bunch of artists and illustrators from around the world!

After spending most of this year tied up in mail delays and production misfires, my Rusty Rose bandana is finally here! With my personal style being a weird mix of cowgirl-tragic and Gunners-esque late-80s-hair-metal-horror, bandanas and scarves are hugely my thing. So this little design was a complete love project, and is something I've been carrying around for a long time... Hope you love it too!
