Yes, I’ve been a tad busy in the best way possible lately! So busy I even forgot to post a pic of our latest addition… so here he is. This photo was taken nearly 4 months ago (where has that gone?) of Roman’s first meeting with his little brother. He was so happy and excited and is still smothering little Dylan with kisses and cuddles every day.

So I’ve been taking it fairly easy and just enjoying my two boys because we all know life zips by way too fast and I’m just happy to be soaking up every moment I can with them. (Although I’m trying to slip in a little illustration here and there!) Thanks for sticking with me and forgiving my posting sparseness. xo

Scattered thoughts… x

Oh, hello! Well here we are at my new look blog/website where everything should be a little easier to find and peek around at.

It sure was nice to do a painting/illo again… it’s been too long! x Here’s the deets in case any of you are in Melbourne next weekend, should be a fun show!

This is the ‘hero shot‘ for Envision Optical, a new independent optometrist on the Gold Coast. 
My husband happens to be the owner/managing director/optometrist for Envision which happened to make me the creative director. We’ve been working on Envision stuff like crazy people since mid last year (which feels like forever!) but I think we’re finally starting to bring it all together.
I’ve created the brand from scratch, including everything from the logo to business cards, flyers, posters, artwork for the stores, other graphics, a website, and even re-decorated a couple of the stores – which involved a fair bit of painting, furniture renos, and re-upholstering – got to love a staple gun! Busy, busy, busy.
I’m posting a weird eye fact each week on our blog and facebook page so if you want to impress your friends with some trivia check it out! x

Just a little something I’ve been working on for the last 6 months!

We’re all pretty excited here to be expecting a little brother for Roman. There’s a fair bit of kicking and wriggling going on (from both the bump and Roman) which is why I’ve been a bit light on the posts for the last little while. Feeling pretty good at the moment though – I guess this is the easy part. : )

I’ll be moving this little blog of mine in the next week or so. I’m going for the whole blog/website-in-one vibe, I’m hoping it will be less upkeep for me which (hopefully) will mean more time for illustrating. Will keep you posted on the move! x

Found the cutest blog called What I Wore Today and was inspired by the exhausting heat here at the moment to submit this piece. A bikini and a sarong is about all I can bear at the moment. I love you Summer but I won’t be complaining when Autumn arrives. x
