Drawing and designing

Lately I have been stuck in a kind of design rut. 

There is so much good design out there that I find it hard sometimes to do anything creative. 

I have come to realise that scouring the internet and looking at all this good design is not helping me become
a better designer at all. I once heard somebody say "Design porn will make you blind" so right now I am having an "inspiration" break and i'm just going to draw, design and doodle without comparing myself to everybody
else out there!

Beci Orpin was by far my favorite speaker from the Melbourne Semi-Permanent, i found her talk very inspiring and i am totally jealous of her life!
Beci is a designer/ illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. She runs her own business freelancing and also has an online shop selling cute homewares under her own name.

Beci has a book coming out in November called find & keep and i can't wait to get my hands on it!

Summer is coming!

Even though it is still quite cold here at the moment, the sun is shining and i am starting to get into Summer mode! Drinking quite a bit of Rekorderlig cider, my favorite strawberry and lime yum! New Summer shoes and ice cream cones in Redcliffs!
