illustration now FEATURE

I'm so excited to post about this - it has been so hard keeping it a secret.
I received my copies today so can finally share with you that my work is featured
in TASCHEN's new volume of Illustration Now! (Vol.4)


I remember one of the first big coffee table books that I bought myself
when I was studying at art school was the first volume of Illustration Now!
so to actually be featured inside one is such a dream!


I'm also happy to sit alongside 3 fellow Aussie illustrators that I admire;
Chrissy Lau, Kerrie Hess and Kareena Zerefos.





There are some amazing illustrators inside and I can't wait to pour over it
with a big cup of tea and discover some new illustration loves!


Happy Wednesday - I hope it was a good one!

cecil beaton's FAIR LADY

I've been meaning to post about this book for a few years now!
By far the best find i've EVER had at a second-hand bookstore,
(First edition 1964 - $16 - OH yeah!)
Cecil Beaton's Fair Lady is a hard-back collection of diary entries
written by Cecil during the filming and on the set of My Fair Lady,
which just happens to be one of my all-time favourite movies.
Most people would know Cecil's work as a photographer,
he was such an inspiration to me when I was studying,
but he also designed the sets and costumes for the film.
* Only a true visionary could have ever come up with that Ascot scene! *


The book also includes little sketches of various costume ideas,
along with photographs from fittings and tests with the gorgeous Miss Audrey.
I seriously love it so so much, I hope you enjoy these little snaps.

What I Wore Today: 07.08.09- Sloane Trenches

The weather has been back to doom and gloom. Which means I'm having to sport jackets just so I don't freeze my arse off. Truthfully, I get a major kick out of wearing jackets and coats. If only I could wear them around, indoors, like dresses. Now, that would be the life.

Inspiration: Emma Watson's Autumn/Winter 2009 campaign for Burberry.

Trench Coat: old Banana Republic (supposed to be khaki, but the drawing looks yellow)
Red Bow Shoes: old BCBG Girls via DSW
Black Convertible Bag: Target
Red Bow Pin: DIY
Tortoise Glasses: Lacoste


Yesterday, I received two very awesome books in the mail all the way from England: "The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook" and "The Official Sloane Ranger Diary." These books will be shelved next to "The Official Preppy Handbook." I know, I'm a big dork, but I just can't get enough of the late 70's / early 80's.
