A Rose Tinted Market Stall

I ran a stall at the open day of the final exhibition for my degree selling illustration prints, flower crowns, bunting flags and hand crafted book ornaments/flowers. It was a good experience having a stall, I enjoyed talking with people and watching people try on flower crowns. Definitely something I would like to do again.

Caitlin Bellah

I love the romantic style of Californian photographer Caitlin Bellah. She currently resides in Barcelona and has travelled to many places such as Paris, New York, Los Angeles and London.

She desires for her images to have a painterly quality which I think is achieved without delflecting the fact it is a photograph.

Farah Loux

This image is the gorgeous cover art for New Zealand band Farah Loux's Debut Album "Flaws" illustrated by their friend Bonnie Wroe. I have been listening to this band almost non-stop lately! The album has good variety and it's 6 members are so musically talented. Did I mention they have a harpist?? My dream instrument! Have a listen here on bandcamp before you purchase the album to support these young talents.

Element Eden High Summer 2012 Campaign

The new campaign by Element Eden Australia, is full of some of my favourite things: Sunshine, pastel colours, floral garments, caravans and 50's styling. How gorgeous is the model/musician Claire Rayner with her cotton candy  tresses? Seriously loving the different hairstyles used here.

Rose Magazine Preview

Here is a quick teaser of some of the content from Rose Magazine.

Rose Magazine

I have been busy as a bee working on my final project for my Bachelor of Visual Arts degree. I have created my own magazine! It combines many of the skills I have acquired in the last 4 years of art school, including illustration, photography, collage, creative writing, graphic design, typography and layout. It's based around fashion and style for young women during Spring/Summer 2012 and also features craft, baking and music reviews. It will soon be up on issuu.com so watch this space for when that is happening. I have also created a printed edition for my submission and installation.

My Image Bank

As a creative, it's so important to keep inspired by surrounding yourself with imagery that you love. I collect images from a range of sources to help with ideas, colour schemes, styles etc. It helps keep me motivated to keep making and experimenting with new techniques or approaches.
