Hot Off The Press
1st December 2011
After seeing the book zooming through the presses last week it’s so exciting to hold one finally in my hand.
Printers and Proofs
16th November 2011
Big week this week for the book. The printers proofs arrived and I’ve poured over them looking looking looking for typos and mistakes. We’ve had the entire book proofread by a professional editor so was our final chance to pick up anything that was graphically amiss.
Fineliners and Fonts
27th October 2011
Still working on the book, it’s taking up all my time but it’s gotten me to pick up a fine liner and start drawing again.
A Little Publicity
21st October 2011
Phil, who is one third of our Love Freo team, managed to get us in the paper. I’ve been working every evening and all my weekends this October on the book so it’s good to have some interest generated. At this point it’s going to be somewhere between a coffee table book and a guide book.
Award Winning
6th October 2011
It rocks when you do something that you’re really proud of and then it gets recognised by your peers. I was a finalist in the 2011 Australian Web Design Awards.
The Prehistory
30th September 2011
I took a gap-year of sorts when I finished studying Industrial Design before continuing on to do an MSc in Computing and Design. Model-making was a skill that I picked up from my degree and I subsequently spend a year in a workshop at the foot of the Dublin Mountains.

20th September 2011

A relative date time stamp shows the time on a post or page relative to right now e.g. 2 weeks ago, moments ago, 5 days ago etc.
Badge Making
7th April 2011
Today I made a badge. Now I’d like to talk a little about my inspiration for my badge… lasers, because lasers are cool especially when they’re coming out of a space-lion’s eyes. Triangles need a mention as well triangles are definitely my favourite shape.
Pineapple Yellow Filing Cabinet
23rd March 2011
Yellow filing cabinets are difficult to find so I made my own. Off I went to The Butcher Shop, purveyors of fine spray paints, and grabbed myself five cans of pineapple yellow Ironlak.
