Autumn

pumpkin harvest

We bought the orange pumpkin from a nearby farm, but the rest I grew myself. I think the big one is called 'Queensland Blue' and the two others are called 'Crown Prince'. Both are supposed to have really good flavour. Total weight this year was 7.25 kg.


Here's the pumpkin at night.


& the halloweenies.

About 25 kids visited this year, which was way more than expected! I nearly ran out of lollies.

tiny shop update

I've just listed two pen drawings for sale in our shop:

I'll be clearing out my archives the next few months or so, so I will probably list some more drawings soon.

o hai!

So, we've been back for a week or so now, but i've been super busy with other things!


Here are some photos from our trip to Berlin for Illustrative 2009 :)

Here is Heiko's Totem that he had been working on for months!


& some of my other favourites from the Illustrative:

P.S. Trabi Safari super bonanza:

'Til next week.

The growing pile of paintings.


Heiko left James Gurney's blog open in the browser this week and it's really worth having a gander at! He shares work processes and all kinds of interesting information about drawing/painting. I was (still am) a huge fan of his Dinotopia books when I was in primary school.


P.S. Any Berlin suggestions before we go? (little shops or places to eat?)

pear tree notepads = shop update!

Hooray!
These arrived today:




Go to Big Bear Studio on Etsy to buy.
I've just put a few up, but I will update my shop again soon, probably after we get back from Berlin on the 18th. I have to help Heiko with some work before we go. :)

honey

This bear smells like honey. Perhaps one of his previous owners tried to feed him honey.








We will be in Berlin from 13th - 17th October (this month) because Heiko is setting up a corner at Illustrative.
