Delicate gouache delights from Melbourne illustrator Seth Searle
Seth Searle is a Melbourne-based illustrator who is known for her delicate, spacious renderings of worlds in gouache. We kind of imagined her to exist in a world that is similarly filled with dreamy, lush greenery, muted colour palettes and floral arrangements. A swift glance at her Instagram confirms our suspicions and totally seals the deal with a note that she’s “mostly into dogs and cakes”. Um, could Seth be our dream girl? Very possibly maybe.
Seth’s drawings and paintings stir serene feelings within us. Like taking dip in fresh water or riding...
Contemporary artist collaboration rugs by GUR
When one acquires a rug, one usually anticipates that its home will become the floor. A rug adopts the life of a doormat, being worn down by chair legs and being spilt on with cheeky splashes of red wine. When we stumbled across GUR, we couldn’t imagine ever putting these little beauties through this kind of hellish rigamarole. Bright, colourful and contemporary, these are some fine rugs that belong on walls more than floors.
GUR is the brainchild of Portuguese designer Célia Esteves and had humble beginnings in 2013. After meeting a talented...
Campbell Charlotte fights fast fashion with beautiful, delicate, considered design.
Campbell Charlotte is an emerging Melbourne-based label joining the voices fighting fast, disposable fashion. Not only are the pieces designed with sustainability in mind, they’re the kind of clothes you would put on once and never take off.

Charlotte Campbell is the young designer and RMIT graduate behind the label, establishing the brand in 2015. A fine art graduate wielding thread and shears, using painterly techniques and a slow living mentality. What a dream boat!

Magda Ksiezak X Odd Pears
Remember that kid who would be the ultimate envy of all at the school craft desk? They could draw anything and when it came to craft collages they’d be all immaculate hand eye coordination and on-point glue stick skills. We’ll bet all your lunch money that Melbourne designer and paper crafter Magda Ksiezak was one of those kids.
We’ve been admiring Magda’s work from afar for some time now, so when the opportunity came up for us to collaborate with her on a shoot for our first range of 2016, we were pretty psyched. Using...
'Future Proof' — new work by Brisbane-based lettering artist Leona Fietz
This Friday night there will be some good shit going down in Queensland’s humble ‘Garden City’ of Toowoomba. For real. Have you seen that place recently? More street art than the BrisVegas and plants for days. And, in more recent years, super cool art shows. This Friday talented typography babe and good pal Leona Fietz is opening her first solo show, ‘Future Proof’, at No Comply gallery and you can bet we’ll be there.
Leona is a Brisbane-based illustrator, designer and self taught typographer. After completing her study in graphic design and jumping between...
