“Paper, Plastic, or Canvas?”

“…but the environmental benefit does not come from people acquiring bags. It comes from people reusing them.”

I knew there was something wrong when an avalanche of canvas bags crashed upon my face each time I opened my top cupboard. This affirms it’s time for me to rethink another habit I’ve developed.

Oh kneadable rubber, I knead you.

I’m sorry I left you in the computer labs. But you’re all the way in Penrith, and there is no way I’m going back there for you. Seriously, you only cost $2.

This is all I have left of my kneadable rubber.

This little pinch I took from its former mass was to compare the colour difference after months of use. Small things like this amuse me. Sad.

I’ve had to use this little pinch, because it’s all I have. I’m only missing it now because I’ve started illustrating again.

This has been on my favourites list for a long time now. So it’s only right to share the love.

This is how I want would want my child to grow up. On a healthy diet of design, typography and fun.

Polaroids: Saved!

The news may have made its way around the world and back, but it’s still worth a mention.

I had only just received my first Polaroid instant camera when Polaroid announced that it would stop the production of its instant film. Thanks Mr Kaps.

Thanks to Winnie for the article.

Inspiration

I went for a job interview a few weeks ago and was asked to send her “something that inspires me”.

I had no idea of the level of work she was expecting of me. So it was a case of do too little and it would appear as if you don’t care. Do too much and you may seem overly eager. But as it goes, the latter never can do any damage (unless I really didn’t do enough).

And for the record, I didn’t get the job. But that’s OKAYYY!

Colors!

Some work I had almost forgotten about.

Drawn on my beloved Nintendo DS with the Colors! application. Probably my first digital painting.

It doesn’t compare to some of the work uploaded on the gallery. Amazing is an understatement. Choose a few and watch the playback. Insightful stuff.

Scaled and Bearded Self-Portrait

I find self-portraits really discomforting and I haven’t picked up a charcoal for a long time. She barely looks like me. But hey, I have a dribbling beard of sorts.
