OK, so I sort of rushed the editing on this and the colours are a bit off, but I actually sat down and scanned some work!
I'm about to head down to Tasmania for work... it should be cold, busy and beautiful.
Have an excellent weekend x
Things I'm loving lately:
1. Sketchbooks // Being excited about life and the 'fucking awesome' things that sometimes happen.
2. Collecting urchins (which I now know my dog likes to destroy) and native animal bones // Building flower shrines to farewell summer.
3. Some logo design jobs are just too much fun.
4. Sketchbooks // Flower shrines (again).
5. How I spend my mornings in the office before work.
6. Sending off prints, more available here // Nice light in the workspace (um, dining table) at home.
7. Humble helping me read Twoone's lithograph, Metaphysical views 'n' salvaged whiskey (how's that for a killer title) // And, well... flowers.
Photography: Amanda Leigh Smith

I've said it before and I have absolutely no qualms about saying it again -- Amanda Leigh Smith is my favourite photographer.
These shots remind me a bit of the wide rivers in the mountains behind where I grew up -- as teenagers we'd ditch school and pile into my slow-rusting '89 Camry station wagon and drive the winding roads up past Bellingen and into Thora and Dorrigo, scouting for waterfalls, swimming holes, rainforests and crystals.
There's nothing like freedom, wilderness, gentle rebellion and breathing cool, mountain air
By the time I arrive home from work in the evenings, dusk is already well on it's way and so Humble and I often end up going for a walk in the dark. The upside of the slightly scary experience of walking around in the dark is that I can steal flowers out of my neighbours' gardens and not feel quite so weird about it.
So, yep, that's what I do.
Also, I do this partly because Humble has chewed/eaten/ripped up/strewn-around-the-yard everything that grows in the ground and is smaller than a full-fledged tree. Including cacti.
