BAD awards

I was really pleased to receive a bronze award for The Good Guides! Also really pleased to see Aerialicious and Cabaret awarded for photography and retouching. (Well done, Justin!) Congrats to all BAD finalists and winners.

Be Gone

I am in the process of designing Tara's new album, which will be very exciting as it will be letterpressed! But for now we did a little digital version for her brand new single 'Be Gone' that just came out in awaiting the album.

QANTM Create Awards

Very happy to see that the record I did for the Stop Flooding My Record Collection exhibition was given a Highly Commended notion at this year's QANTM Create Awards. Thank you :) And congrats to all of this year's winners and runners up!

Made In The Now: R.E.M. tribute

I was assigned today's Made In The Now tshirt, on which I worked together with Justin. Today's news story was the announcement that R.E.M. breaks up after 31 years. Here's a fitting tribute, which you can buy at madeinthenow.com but you'll have to hurry; it's only for sale for 24hrs.

Seven With Another: Third Edition

When Seven With Another received a grant from Arts Queensland to continue the series, not only was it a testament to the series so far, but increased excitement, for the already highly anticipated, Third edition. Together with my co-curator Jess Huddart, we are busy curating a new line-up of seven pairs, who have become well acquainted and are joining their specialised forces to explore the process of collaboration whilst creating something we'll all be impressed with. This time around, we'll get to see work from notable creatives - Cezary Stulgis, sculptor / Alex Chomics, film director / Igor Coric, animator / Jesse Smith, photographer / Kate Stein, stylist / Colleen Morgan, interaction designer / Kirsty Boyle, robotics artist / Dane Middleton, sound designer / Riki Salam, indigenous artist / Steve Minon, writer / Kitty Horton, painter / Patrick Ozmin, architectural graduate / Ralph Barnett, art-director / Maria Cleary, designer/maker What will they come up with? Well, we're on tenterhooks wanting to find out.

Opening night: Friday 7 October, 7- 10pm

Open: 8 - 14 October (Sat/Sun 10am - 4pm, Mon - Fri 4pm - 8pm)

Harajuku Gyoza

Just finished this hand drawn ink illustration for soon-to-be-open restaurant Harajuku Gyoza, Brisbane's first gyoza bar. This illustration will be printed on a plate. Can't wait to eat my gyoza's of it!

Life Is A Cabaret Old Chum

Thanks Damien, for getting us involved on this one; it was a pleasure to be working on the theatre artwork for the stage show of Cabaret, that will show at QPAC later this month. Photography by Damien Bredberg & Imaging by Justin Overell.

CREATE awards

Really happy to see three of my projects; The Good Guides, the Aerialicious identity and the Fats Waller SFMRC Record, being shortlisted for the Create Awards! Thanks! :) You can see other shortlisted entries here.

A touch Of Class

I was happy to contribute a piece to 'A Touch of Class' – an inaugural exhibition from female creative collective Tough Titties. Part of 2011's Sydney Design Festival, the event launches on 3 Aug.

Seven With Another : SECOND edition

The success of the first Seven With Another exhibition was evident when there was a line up around our block of people waiting to get into our (usually very roomy) Substation. With plans to continue the series already, myself and my co-organiser Jess Huddart had just the encouragement we needed to make it happen. And so, Seven With Another: Second Edition is well and truly underway, featuring a stellar line-up of some of Brisbane's best creatives. This time around we have also added some new disciplines to the mix, including a singer/songwriter, a graffiti artist and a magician!

Artwork done by the lovely Jenna and Simon Hipgrave, of the Hungry Workshop

Opening night: Friday 27 May, 7pm

Open: 28 May - 3 June (Sat/Sun 10am - 4pm, Mon - Fri 4pm - 8pm)

Seven With Another : FIRST edition

Seven With Another

Kicking off the new year with Seven With Another - an exhibition lovingly curated by myself and graphic designer Jessica Huddart (aka JM creative director). Teaming seven pairs of creatives from different creative disciplines, the duos come together to work outside of their usual processes. Hailing from backgrounds as diverse as architecture, sound design, styling and sculpture, the results of this multi-disciplinary stew promise to be anything but boring.

Exhibition runs 12th - 18 February, 10 - 4

Opening night 11 February, 7 - 9

Substation No. 4, 22 Petrie Terrace, Brisbane
