HeartFELT Project by Candy Bandit

(image by Pete de Bruyn)

This is exciting news! A while back I did a little design for Gem of Candy Bandit for her project HeartFELT. The artists were asked to design an image based on the theme heartFELT and Gem made them into brooches to be sold off for charity through an online store Leeloo.

The proceeds from my design go to Beyond Blue, but everyone has chosen a different charity. It is a great project too support so here is the link to go shopping!

The results were amazing. Below are a few of my favourites in no particular order (images taken by Pete de Bruyen and brooches made by Gem of Candy Bandit).

Romeo & Juliet

This is one of my most favourite images from the Tim Burton exhibition. Had an amazing week when it opened going to both his talks, the book signing and then actually checking out the exhibition. A definite overdose but well worth it!

A Week of Burton

I haven't been making much lately but there is plenty of inspiration happening this week. I am sooooo excited the Tim Burton exhibition is opening in Melbourne this week and have managed to score tix to both his talks - can't wait. ACMI have put so much into making this an awesome experience for fan's - i saw the below article in the saturday age a couple weeks back and forgot to post it but click on the image to read about some of the cool things coming!

Also can't forget that the Melbourne International Animation Festival has already kicked off which should be awesome and the European Masters Exhibition at the NGV - whoa it is gonna be a busy week!

Animation Experiment

I made this little stopmotion animation at a 2 day animation workshop I did a little while ago. Was just experimenting with animating some of my old works - not sure where I am heading with it!

If you get a chance go check it out. Maybe one of Jeunet's best! - very creative and loved the look of it - super quirky.
