Who doesn't like a bit of text and illustration combination? Maybe not everyone but I definitely do. With the idea of collage in mind I put this together on a cold rainy day.
A few other things to mention:Blackbird Market - @ the Workers Club. This market is brilliant. Within walking distance for me, maybe a bit long for some, about 45 mins, most people would probably take the tram. Anyway, the market has loads of vintage clothes at very affordable prices. I bought a jumper which is now my favourite jumper ever for only $10! So you have some cool clothes, what more do you need, how about live bands and great food, done and done. A very cool experience indeed. They also have a great website which gives you an idea of their whole ethos www.blackbirdmarket.com, and watch the vimeo video, it's very informative and entertaining.
That same weekend I also went to the Finders Keepers market but they do pretty well at promoting themselves so I'll just mention two illustrators that I think deserve a bit of praise.Firstly: Nikki Catalano is an extremely talented designer and illustrator with a focus on very cute animal and child related compositions. Nikki has a great use of collage and fine lines. I would say that her world seems like a very magical place to be. I browsed through endless cards and prints while a young girl, maybe 6-7 years tried to work out which print was her favourite. I think she chose an owl print, and received two free cards, what a sweet deal! Nikki seems nice.
Secondly: Amy Eating Apples caught my attention with her illustrations of bands like The Smiths, Arcade Fire, The Knife and White Stripes. Amy uses very fine detail and what I'm guessing is watercolour to produce a very elegant and endearing style.
Well that's about all from me. Oh, and I also went to a short film festival, but I'd rather not talk about it. Bye for now.
