Top 5 Affordable Options For Framing Your Artwork
Now that you have a print, what next? Framing is actually not as hard as you think, all you need is a pair of clean hands, a clean table or surface to work on and access to some affordable but quality ready-made frames and you’ll have a gallery wall in no time.

Feature in Inner West Courier
A recent feature in the Inner West Courier. In this article, I talked about my home style and my favourite local gems.
Meet the Artist: Emma Kidd
Today we chat with Emma Kidd, a Sydney based artist who makes articulated imaginary creatures with the humble paper and paint. I have always admired artists who can draw from their imagination and felt in love with Emma's creatures the day I discovered her work. Everything she does seems so effortless and yet I doubt anyone can replicate her style easily. Her creatures look like characters from another time, innocent beings trapped in Dante's Inferno.
Portrait Drawing: Abby
I have never been confident with drawing portraiture and as a result, have always avoided it where possible. This year, I've decided to face this fear head on. You can never have a perfect piece of drawing but you'll never improve if you don't practice.
Pet Portrait: Lewis
Friends in my street adopted Lewis from the RSPCA when he was about 4 years old. No-one knew his past history but he’d had a bad time as he was aggressive towards strange men. The young couple (his new family) both worked long hours and he was left at home. He suffered from separation anxiety so tried to escape their yard most days. Often I would see him “setting out” on an adventure along the street and I’d go after him. He loved this and turned it into a game I’m sure.
Roseau: Disintegrate
Came across this beautiful animation by Hannah Jacobs for London-based songwriter and producer Roseau's latest track, Disintegrate.
Meet the Artist: Jess Racklyeft
Welcome to the first series of Meet the Artist where I chat to artists and makers whom I love and admire. Jess Racklyeft is an illustrator who primarily works in card designs and children's book illustrations. I was introduced to Jess' work a few years ago through Erstwilder where we currently work as one of their designers. Jess' art is soft, whimsical and full of joy and I was head over heels the moment I saw one of her watercolour paintings.

Anatomy Of A Pet Portrait
