Naughty Pussy zine now available
Naughty Pussy zine now available
I sold out of all my Naughty Pussy zines at Auckland Zinefest, where it won best of the fest!

The zine features the rock n roll band posters I made for music shows circa 2002 - 2010.

I've now done another print run, and you can buy your very own copy for $11 (including postage within New Zealand). Contact me for details.

If you're not based in New Zealand you can buy your own copy directly from Blurb.

Naughty Pussy is also available at Auckland Library, and I'll send copies to Wellington Library and Christchurch Library too. 

If you know of any libraries / stores that would like to stock the zine, please let me know!

Best of the Fest! Zinefest 2015
Best of the Fest! Zinefest 2015
What a crazy day yesterday was!

I had a fabulous time at Auckland Zinefest yesterday, sharing a stall with super-talented designer Kalee Jackson and stocking up on new goodies by Sarah Laing, Sophie Oiseau and others.

The day also featured workshops, delicious vegan food and chats with all sorts of interesting people.

We headed out to the after party at the Wine Cellar because we wanted to keep the good vibes going.

And I was shocked to win Best of the Fest!

I won for my zine 'Naughty Pussy: A collection of obscure Auckland Rock n Roll posters', which features posters I drew over several years for a variety of lo-fi rock n roll bands.

The zine is available at Auckland Libraries and I'll get it into Wellington and Christchurch Libraries too - once I've printed another run!

Thanks Auckland Zinefest for a truly wonderful day.

The Lucky Numbers
The Lucky Numbers
Today I finished a new zine - just in time for Auckland Zinefest!

It's called The Lucky Numbers, and you can take a sneak peek here. 

We have a new guest at New Zealand Pacific Studio today - Melbourne-based illustrator Sunshine (you can check out her work here).

Now that I've caught up on 'writing admin' I'm looking forward to tomorrow... and working on some new material!
