photographic anticipation

I'm getting very excited about my looming birthday ...

what I really want is a crazy flower headband

for my birthday invites I quickly did a new drawing ... problem was I made the dress white and everybody keeps asking me if its really a secret wedding and not a birthday ???
my attention to the dress was minimal, because what I was focused on was the huge floral headpiece ... which I really want to find / make. I guess they weren't looking at that.

NB: based on the invitation feedback I changed the dress to pink before I put it up here.

europe photos ... i finally did something with them

photos form my recent trip to london and paris are now up on flickr ... enjoy.

NB: I wore the same coat and hat for 3 weeks due to poor wardrobe planning, so it looks like I did everything in one day
AND
I seem to like taking photos of ceilings ... (didn't realise this till I processed them).

ruffles for sale

The ruffles are all up for sale on etsy ... yay.
Not sure I really expect anybody to buy, but it was a requirement of the folio that they were for sale somewhere :)

shooting ruffles ... again

Earlier this week I did another studio photoshoot for my ruffles. This time I used Andrea, a friend and fellow design classmate.
The shots turned out great & both models will appear in my ruffle branding that I'm designing this weekend.

porsha in perspex

Dad is looking at laser cutters and asked me to provide something to test cut samples. Being busy, I looked to the archives rather than creating something new, so sent them this negative space exercise I did in 2006.

The result is super cool ... yet difficult to photograph.

ruby rabbit

Belinda's new site is finally up. Its not too complicated, but serves the purpose with some cute illustrations to keep it light... hopefully it will help her business.

tribal ruffle illustration

As another part of my ruffle assignment, I decided to draw an illustration of the Limited Edition Tribal Ruffle (which has feathers & beads).
I am super happy with how it turned out ... it even makes me want to put leaves in my hair.

something silly ... squirrels!

For one of my first year photoshop classes we had to create a composite image of one of our memories. My memory revolved around my recent trip to London and the fact that even though I was told I would never see squirrels in winter, I saw heaps.
We had to include as many things we learnt in class as possible, being a first year class - this meant filters to the max! Its a little silly, but was a fun change from my third year work.

dream client

It's always nice when you get a dream client that lets you design whatever you want and loves everything you do. I am lucky enough to have a client like this now, which coincides nicely with developing work for my graduate folio.

My friend Belinda is starting her own business and asked me to do her branding. The company is called Ruby Rabbit (after her daughter - Ruby Abbott) and over the next month I will be creating all the stationery, marketing and pretty things she could possibly need for an emerging company - but for now, here is the logo.
