My new illustration of a Spring day in Little Mo’s garden. I’ve had this drawing for some time in my sketch book…but never got around to colouring it.

When I start a sketch on the drawing board, I like to ink in alot of details and don’t really think about the colouring process. It’s only after I’ve finished inking then I realise all the details that I have to colour in…and it makes me go a little berserk sometimes! Wouldn’t you feel the same if you see this sketch above?

But I usually calm down once I apply the first colours. I usually colour the leaves first. Because it helps me decide the overall colour for the artwork. So this is my new spring illustration, and everything is fresh and green.

Available in print and a greeting card set in my shop.

Happy Spring day everyone!

My friend, Michelle from Koot makes the sweetest vintage gift tags with her daughters. I used some for packaging my orders the other day.

And look at these Mouse tags I also got from her shop. They are so ‘koot!’ I better start wrapping my candy canes and chocolate boxes up:) Ho! Ho! Ho!

Two days of great art and handmade creations from Perth’s indie artists!

Different designers each day.

Check out Little Mo and Friends on Sunday, November 15th. We’ll be stocking lots of gifts for Christmas! Can’t wait to see you all there!

You know in primary school if you were seen talking with a boy, all the kids will suddenly sing ‘Helena and Richard sitting under a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…’

Well I decided to do my own kissing couple, two love birds, completely smitten by each other:) I really had fun colouring these gift tags and I couldn’t help giggling like a kid.

Enjoy using them for your christmas presents this holiday season! They come sealed in a pack here with matching Christmas wreaths and Christmas stockings. Oh joy!

On the topic about birds, I bought this cute owl brooch made by Lauren from Osier. Isn’t he sweet?

Heya! Some pictures from Sunday Best! You can view more at Little Mo’s fan page!
It was a great day and I met so many wonderful sellers and new friends.

This is Tim from Four Wooden Corners. It was Father’s day but that didn’t stop Tim and his dad from joining Sunday Best! It was so cool to see another paper goods seller!

My friend Ali J who draws cool fashion illustrations!

I bought a cute vintage Golliwog card from my neighbour Christine. Her set up was so gorgeous, it put me to shame! I also bought a lovely bar of salt scrub from the talented Jacquie of empire of delight and some awesome art from the made of awesome gang. I now have a drawer full of great art prints! Thanks guys!

And here’s Little Mo’s stall, which is not little anymore because it’s been growing with new paper goods. I really need to work on getting better displays to organise my products! So for now, enjoy the colourful pictures!

Busy week!

I just finished a custom postcard illustration for Kirsten from Paper by Forget Me Not. Kirsten is a stationery maker like myself and she also uses recyclable materials. Which is cool for me…and you! Check out her stationery products, my favourite item is the tutti fruitti stationery set.

Kirsten wanted something fun to include in her packages. So I designed some postcards for her. She can fold these into note cards and write her thank you messages in them. You can see more pictures here.

I have drawn Kirsten sitting amongst the blue forget me nots with one of her pink journals. The image came straight to me at the drawing board because personally, I would love to sit under a tree surrounded by flowers! Kirsten has curly brown hair in real life and you can see her photo in her madeit interview. She’s really beautiful, and I just hope that my drawing shows it off!

Hello sorry for the lack of postings!

We did Sunday Best last weekend, and it was so fun. Expect to see some pictures soon! Thank you to everyone who came over with well wishes, and who went home with Little Mo goodies, you’re simply the best! If you didn’t make it to our stall, we’re doing another market at UPMARKET this coming Sunday. Here are the details:

Sunday, 13th September
10am -4pm, Perth Town Hall
Cnr Barrack St and Hay St, Perth

This is my first time doing Upmarket and I’ve heard alot of great things about this designer market so I’m really honoured to be included with the rest of the talented crew. Come check us out, and buy handmade!

After Upmarket, I will be taking a break to work on new artworks. I plan on producing art prints and some one off illustrations. I will also be occupied with house hunting and the wedding. My online presence may be a little quiet but I am here, reading your blogs and drawing and drawing. So thanks for keeping me sane. xxx

Little Mo and Friends is thrilled to be a part of the great line up of designers selling at the 2009 Perth Fashion Festival. There will be new mo products too! Are you excited?

When I think of Sunday Best, I remember my grandmother nagging me to dress my best for Sunday school. And although I was quite a tom boy then and wore mostly jeans and tee I did try! I made sure I scrubbed my face clean and combed my hair..hehe!

So for good times, I will make an effort to dress up my Little Mo stall for Sunday Best and make it twice the fun and colour! Yahhh! Come down and visit me, check out my new mo stationery and all the other cool stalls and their handmade wares!

Thanks for supporting handmade art!

Apart from Little Mo and Friends, I also work as a freelance producer on documentaries and short films. This is a Music feedback anti-stigma campaign video that we directed and produced for the West Australian Department of Health.

It features interviews by Roly Skender, Gyroscope, Justin from End of Fashion, Birds of Tokyo, Abbe May, The Kill Devil Hills and The Yabu Band.

Watch part 2, 3, and 4 here to see the rest of the band interviews.

Personally, I enjoyed working on this project because we were using a unique platform like music and documentary to reach out to young people who could be suffering from mental health issues (and who probably look up to some of these musicans for inspiration). The objective of this campaign was to promote mental health and challenge the prejudice and stereotypes attached to mental illness.

Let us know your thoughts! Scroll down the video page here for more.

In case you didn’t know you can get free cd/dvds of some great West Australian musicians just by filling out this form here. It’s free and the music is great, I listen to the cd while I draw!

A delayed post that I’ve been meaning to share with you guys. Some pictures from the Condor Tower car park Launch. You can see more pictures from their website and read about the adventures of ololo. These are some of my favourites.

We had a fun time walking all 5 levels of the car park and witnessing all the lovely wall art painted by a whole heap of talented Perth artists. We should have more public spaces adorned with great art. Just a thought.
