Island Continent Studio
This is the blog for my new design studio Island Continent which is set to launch in February specialising in all things fashion, design, art and Oz. After a solid and successful 8 years, working for some incredible dream clients, awards in NY and Cannes, breaking into the US Editorial market and fulfilling my childhood dream of illustrating for USA Rolling Stone, it's time for a kit-kat and a well earned good nights sleep. So I am scaling back my illustration commissions for 2012 and only taking on special projects for the immediate future. To keep up with all the action follow the tumblr for Island Continent where my 30 years of Archives will be unleashed in full technicolor glory. <3 http://www.islandcontinent.com.au/

VCE STUDIO ARTS EXAM 2010
Something different. One of my artworks was referenced for questions on last years VCE Studio Arts Exam paper here in Victoria Australia. Takes me back to those uncomfortable plastic chairs and cold dusty exam rooms of Year 12. How strange life is.
