Custom logo illustration for Carley

March 1st, 2010

Another busy week.

I just finished a custom illustration for Carley from Vanilla Pixie.

Carley sells sweet ribbon bows in her shop and she approached me to do some branding for her business. She told me that she wanted a pixie and a hedgehog for her logo which made me very excited!

I settled on a red and white theme, and applied it to all of her business collateral. I think the theme complements the toadstool on her logo. And I know she will have lots of fun playing with these colours for her market stall.

Carley, I hope you will have a fantastic year with your business and may this pixie bring you lots of fairy dust and sales!

Was out buying supplies…and look what I found. Every desk needs post-its right? This apple one is too cute to resist.

I’ve been working on a new series of art prints, in time for Easter! These are my Little Mo portrait series.

I have drawn four portraits to start off this series: Bunny Mo, Tiger Mo, Duck and Mo and Hugging rabbits. Which is your favourite?

Today I’ve been cutting up the boards and packaging them up. The best part is signing the prints, makes me feel a little bit famous!

You can see more pics of me working here.

Hello Tristan,

Welcome to our big world! You look so much like your father and funnily enough you sleep just like me. I think your Bobishi booties fit you well. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms and teach you how to draw cute animals! I think we will have lots of fun together.

Love always,
Your aunty Helena

Bright and happy

February 22nd, 2010

We found a discarded chair, that nobody wanted. It just needed a bit of scrubbing and some prettying up.

I love these print covers, I like to buy prints that makes me happy. These cute designs are from Mint Design and Thirty Five Flowers.

My husband thinks pillow covers are trivial things but when he spots a new cover in our house, he smiles. He says it’s my style and he likes it. So I think I am slowly convincing him that cute covers are a good thing.

I may give this chair a coat of paint. I’ll grab a small can from Bunnings. Pink or blue?

Yo La Tengo

February 21st, 2010

Last night, Rich surprised me with tickets to Yo La Tengo. Yo La Tengo is one of my favourite bands ever, along with Wilco and Mogwai.

When Rich and I first started dating, he made me a mix cd and one of the tracks was a Yo La Tengo song. It was called Little Eyes. He said the song reminded him of me. You can listen to it here, I think the title says it all.

Over the years, we’ve listened to this band together, danced along to it and even played Yo La Tengo at our wedding. Last night was a sweet reminder of the good times we’ve shared while listening to their music. This is me with the vocalist, Ira Kaplan. Good stuff.
