Babushka.

Some new Babushka drawings from the weekend. I seem to be on a bit on an international theme at the moment... I'm hoping to do few more - all with different head scarves. Do you think they need faces?

To anyone whose has been affected by the bushfires in Australia - I've been thinking of you...

what happened to January?

I don't know about anyone else but does it feel like Christmas was only just last week? I've been very unproductive this month...





However, I did take advantage of the shining sun this weekend and headed to Utrecht for the day. Aside from the frozen canals and windmills, I also saw a crazy fashion exhibition by designers Victor and Rolf. Below are some miniature versions of their designs. I was really inspired by how they used clothes as a form of social commentary... a lot of VERY well dressed women swanning around the space!



But my main reason for going to Utrecht was to visit the Dick Bruna Huis, a museum dedicated to the illustrator who created my favourite Dutch rabbit - Miffy! I LOVED it. I must admit it was mostly for kids but it was brilliant to see the orginal drawings and sketches up so close.



Before Miffy, Bruna also designed hundreds of beautiful book covers which were totally inspiring from a graphic design point.



Anyway, I'm hoping for a more productive February! Have a good week.
