Bird in a Bunny Suit

She creates small collages and drawings inspired by found imagery in her home based Auckland studio. Well she now prints cards featuring her cute wee creatures and you can buy them online at Foxes!

Bedfellows

If you're into illustration, get along to the upcoming exhibition 'Bedfellows' at The High Seas in Auckland. The High Seas shows are always awesome, and they do a great job supporting local creatives. I love the poster, illustrated by Devon Smith (Devon was featured in Issue 2 of Extra Curricular). The show will showcase some local illustration talent and aims to demonstrate that art and illustration can happily co exist. 

Button Thief

I remember obsessively collecting buttons when I was about 6 years old - to me they were like little jewels and I kept a jar of them hidden away from possible thieves. So I can definitely see the appeal of 'Button Thief' - a children's book created by first-time author Latesha Randall and illustrator Esther Griffiths. They have recently self published it (these are some of the illustrations) and are now in the process of getting it into stores around New Zealand. A story about 'friendship, forgiveness and the thrill of collecting', it will no doubt delight small girls everywhere. Once they own the book, young button lovers can sign up to 'Button Buddies' - where they'll be matched up with a pen friend to swap letters and buttons with - what a great idea!
