Rabbit Painting

Continuing the easter theme from yesterday, I remembered this rabbit I painted on the door of our beach hut in Om Beach, India around this time last year :)

Easter Vibrations

Hey Folks, Happy Sunday and I hope you've been enjoying all the recent festivities and are having fun wherever you are..
I have managed to get completely stuck near a little town called Denmark in Western Australia, and at the moment I'm not sure if i'm going to make it anywhere else ever! I love it so much,. One of the highlights of our time here so far was the Easter weekend which included cupcakes, live music and a great little arts festival, good friends, great food, bbqs, beach time, toasty indoor fires at night, cosy time and unbelievable views of the clouds, stars and sea up at Bazza's hilltop hideaway as well as an easter egg, easter bunny and two chocolate wombats..! So all in all it was pretty good. These are a couple of easter doodles that i did during :)

Temple Love

So we are settling into life on the road 'down under', enjoying the sunshine and the wide open spaces! I haven't had a chance to do much drawing for the last few weeks so thought I would dig out these photos that I've been meaning to post on here for a while - These are mosiacs from a very old temple I went to in Luang Prapang, in Laos. They completely blew me away, the whole wall was covered in these detailed little scenes made from glass. I especially love the combination of colours and the simple shapes of the figures, they make me want bring more colour into my own work, but I'm still loving my black pen so we'll see.. :)

Quiet Days

I have spent the last three weeks in maybe one of the most beautiful and certainly one of my favorite places in the whole world - Lake Toba in Sumatra. This was my second visit. There is an island in the middle of a lake in the middle of the biggest volcano in the world, and hardly anyone knows about it... shhh

I stumbled across this and loved it.

Although the days of the week don't really bother me much at the moment, there's just something about Sundays... don't you think?

Yogya Street Art

I saw some pretty interesting artwork while wandering around Yogyakarta in Java. The city is considered to be the cultural heart of Java and is one of the best places to see traditional Indonesian arts such as batik painting and puppet making. It's nice to see that the city has a cool contemporary art scene too

In the Himalayas

Some photos from the Annapurna Base Camp trek I did in Nepal a couple of months ago, pictures can't even begin to show how amazingly beautiful these mountains are..

So nice

One day

I want to have a crazy patterned floor in my house like these ones I saw in Vietnam!

They are cool

Holy Art, yoga and goats

Varanasi, the holiest town in India and the most most beautiful! This was my last stop after almost 6 months in India and it really cemented my love for the country and made me even more sad to leave..

Chandigargh Rock Garden

While I was in North India I decided to travel to a 'new town' called Chandigargh to check out the famous rock garden there, and it was AMAZING! The story goes that a man called Nek Chand built the entire place secretely over the course of about 30 years using rubbish from the demolition of the original Chandigargh town. He was only discovered in 1975 and now his creation has become a national treasure, what a crazy brilliant man he must be!
