It’s my graduation! It’s not a conventional grad, but it’s not a conventional grad where my cat can decide he wants to participate 😂 A huge congratulations to my fellow @lcimelbourne graduands! I huge tip of the hat to my tutors who have mentored me and continue to be amazing and supportive humans and creatives, and set me up with the skills and tools to make my mark in the design world. We did it!! *Throws mortar board* #graphicdesigner #graduation #lci #lcimelbourne #2019graduate #pandemiclife #virtualgraduation #WeDidIt #pandemiclife https://www.instagram.com/p/CIC4UPFj6sG/?igshid=1pkwpzoisf8r2

Showing off my collection of pins I’ve made so far! I’m a little bit proud of my little business AND being able to raise donations for conservation through my art. It’s crazy to think this began as a little classroom task two years ago that then came to fruition for my graduation piece for @lcimelbourne last year, and now I have just released 6 new pins! I even made a type based pin (hopefully I did alright by @speculatype’s standards 😉). And despite all the shit that’s happening globally people have been tremendously supportive and I continue to receive sales for my little art creations ☺️ So a huge HUGE thank you to you guys for continuing to support small businesses and independent artists. These pins, along with my art prints, are up on my Etsy store - Etsy.com/shop/BlkRabbitWtRabbit and $2 from the sale of the bird pins is donated to BirdLife and the Black Cockatoo Project to help prevent the extinction of these endangered species, especially in the wake of the Bushfire Crisis. You can also follow my art account @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns to follow along my art journey as a recent design graduate (I’m a bit more active over there) #blackrabbitwhiterabbit #brwr #pinnaker #enamelpins #pinartist #graphicdesigner #pinsforacause #nativebirds #bunnies #rabbits #endangeredbirds #orangebelliedparrot #regenthoneyeater #christmasislandfrigatebird #glossyblackcockatoo #kangarooislandglossyblackcockatoo (at Black Rabbit White Rabbit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kl51zDuRW/?igshid=9s0vqxp2suk4

Australia Day should be inclusive, meaningful, and respectful to all Australians. I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this country. to apologise for the wrongs committed to her people, past and present. I created this digital illustration as a sign of respect and acknowledgement of our First Nation peoples and their connection to this land. #invasionday #australiaday #changethedate #digitalart #digitalartist #graphic #graphicdesigner #australiandesigner #commemorative #sorry #survivalday #wattle #acacia #adobeillustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/B7vc5S3D-x9/?igshid=glx8a8dw3v46

Reposted from @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns This Sunday I will be at the @lcimelbourne Designers Market in Collingwood for Open Day. I’ll have pins, stickers, sculpts, art prints and photography available, with $2 from each sale donated to @australiananimalrescue and @BirdLife for the bushfire appeal - cash and eftpos facilities will be available. This will be a great opportunity to meet and support local artists and alumni, and LCI are will be holding an auction of some sweet art to raise funds for @Wildlifevictoria and @Redcrossau to support recovery and welfare for the community and animals and those impacted by the fires. Definitely come check it out. Details are on the LCI page :) How’s everyone holding up with all this smoke? In my area it’s at ‘Hazardous’ levels, so I’m trying to avoid being outside too much due to my asthma. My nostrils are having a bad time of it, with frequent blood noses (thankfully not the gushy ones! But all the dry and smoky air is playing havoc on my mucous membranes 😩) . . #blackrabbitwhiterabbit #brwr #makersmarket #lcimelbourne #designersmarket #collingwood #pinsforacause #craftmarket #melbourne #graphicdesigner #graphicdesign #pingame #pingamestrong #pinaddict #stickers #bunnies #birds #charitysale #fundraiser #nativebirds #rabbits #parrots #birdlover ##australiaburns #supportlocalartists #handmade #etsyseller #smallbusiness #bushfires (at Black Rabbit White Rabbit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7SvZ82Dbg-/?igshid=1okwwojwsbu98

Our charity fundraiser sale totalled over $10,700!! This has been split between NSW RFS and The Rescue Collective. Thank you to everyone who participated, shared and purchased; this wouldn't have been possible without you all. I feel so privileged to take part alongside so many wonderful artists. To celebrate I put together this little graphic, which doubled as an opportunity to dabble more with digital watercolour - still a learning curve but it was quite cathartic. I've been really emotional and depressed over the state of things and the monumental losses. This may very well see the end of some of our unique species endemic to specific regions, and I feel helpless and hopeless. But, seeing such an outpouring of support and unity in the face of disaster and knowing that our art can make a difference lifts my spirits. The very reason i started @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns was to make a difference, to make art for good and combine it with my Zoology and animal sciences background to do what I can in a variety of ways to help animals. Truly, thank you. . #artforacause #pinsforacause #australiaburns #bushfirecrisis #artistcharitysale #fundraising #prayforaustralia #charity #tamarwallaby #regenthoneyeater #art #digitalart #digitalwatercolour #procreate #ipadpro #illustrations https://www.instagram.com/p/B7D7_pbDKza/?igshid=1x3rgjcveyqs0

Its the final day of our charity sale! Please help in any way you can - whether it's through monetary contribution or even by sharing our posts around, it's all helping. There's still 11.5hrs to grab some cool set AND give to a great cause ☺️ All profits are going to @nswrfs and @therescuecollective and the amazing work they do for our community and our animals. Head to my Etsy - etsy.com/shop/BlkRabbitWtrabbit and look for the listings with Charity Sale 😘 You can also check out these other artists that are participating: @ohjessicajessica @artofaliss @avataraandy @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns @chibi.pins @gremren @jellykatstudio @linajanedesigns @mamathzilla @PerfectoBuns @pomegranatepinsandprints @sheardo @Vreemdear @WisestMoose . #bushfirecrisis #pinsforacause #stickers #marvel #thor #loki #art #flair #pin #pins #pingame #pingamestrong #enamelpin #pincollector #pinsale #flairgame #pinswag #pincommunity #fundraising #fundraiser #nonprofit #environmentalist #australiaburns #nswbushfires #nswfires #bushfire #birdpins #birds #bunnies #prayforaustralia https://www.instagram.com/p/B69avctj7ag/?igshid=1hr9zk4us8idv

Its barely perceptible in the photo but I looked up from my desk just now to see a beautiful full rainbow. A glimmer of beauty amidst the awful darkness and devastation happening now. https://www.instagram.com/p/B67wErzjiSX/?igshid=1s56d9mo1orkn

Myself and a bunch of awesome artists are banding together to raise funds for the RFS and The Rescue Collective, both doing amazing work during the Bushfire Emergency. For the next few days ALL PROFITS from sales from the Charity Sale listings will be donated to these organisations. Our government may not give much of a shit, but we can't sit back and do nothing while our country burns. Its difficult feeling so helpless and knowing people are in the line of fire - literally - and we have lost MILLIONS of animals, both livestock and wildlife. The Rescue Collective distributes support for domestic animal and wildlife rescues across Australia. Even if you don't have the spare cash, please share so we can reach as many people as possible to raise as much money as we can! My Etsy shop is etsy.com/shop/BlkRabbitWtrabbit. Please check out and support these participating artists: @ohjessicajessica @avataraandy @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns @chibi.pins @gremren @jellykatstudio @linajanedesigns @mamathzilla @PerfectoBuns @pomegranatepinsandprints @sheardo @Vreemdear @WisestMoose @owlandbearstudio . #blackrabbitwhiterabbit #brwr #aabushfiresale #charityfundraiser #enamelpins #hardenamelpins #secondssale #bushfireemergency #flair #pins #australia #pingame #pingamestrong #fundraising #fundraiser #pincommunity #nonprofit #environmentalist #australiaburns #prayforaustralia #bushfire https://www.instagram.com/p/B60Ld4Djnuw/?igshid=9wj9s6wbygp9

Its time to do the 2019 wrap up and look back another year that's had a lot of ups and downs, but inevitably brought growth, experience and challenges. The whole shit storm that was the house settlement was stressful and awful, but despite the delay setbacks we still went on our Japan trip and it was beautiful! I was certainly spoilt by Damien and got to live my dream of seeing the cherry blossoms in bloom. I took part in the 36 Days of Type challenge that was creatively liberating. I bought a new car with some of the house settlement money, to replace my poor dying old Forester. We enjoyed a weekend in Marysville and Lake Mountain, and celebrated our 1 year anniversary in Castlemaine. I created my first enamel pin collections, started my own business, had my first major exhibition, and finally graduated from uni with my second degree. I met my wife, Hayley Atwell, finally got Loki's commemorative tattoo and added a new member to our little family. It's not been an easy ride, but I have to admit I'm proud of my accomplishments and somehow managing to overcome more shit the universe threw at me. I think there's some exciting things on the horizon for 2020 and I can't wait to see what opportunities it provides, creatively, professionally and personally. Happy new year everyone! 🎆 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vCSxvDRzA/?igshid=ess9wk2optck

Who's watched S1 of The Witcher? I really enjoyed it, and thought it stayed true to the novels as well as giving a little bit of a game nod. The sword fighting was so fun to watch and I can't wait for S2.

Delicious foods have been eaten, wonderful gifts exchanged, good company, followed by Die Hard and a couch nap. I'm in my new Timon PJs about to head to bed, and wishing everyone a merry Christmas! Throwback to my reindeer makeup look I did a few years ago. Hope you had a good day! #casualcosplay #makeup #reindeermakeup #fawnmakeup #cosplay #christmas #christmascosplay #christmasmakeup #3dprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/B6fvqbzjumz/?igshid=h03a4g7lelal

I think I'm getting sick 😔 I've spent almost all of Sunday sleeping. Couch snuggles with the little man, bed snuggles with the girls; Falchin is perched on my shoulder and Tana curled behind my knees. Hopefully I can boot the cold off before it takes hold cause it feels like it might be a touch of bronchitis... https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YO5mzjvuh/?igshid=xxl3amm8s7pw

Shop updates! New products are now available in my @etsy store along with my enamel pins! The Dog in Bottles and pendants are limited and are at a special Happy Holidays price to help with your gift giving. Etsy store is BlkRabbitWtrabbit. Thank you so much to everyone that has supported my business, alongside other small businesses these past few months 🙏It's been surreal to see my art out in the real world! I've been super busy doing all the things, along with dealing with personal stuff and helping my partner, so unfortunately I missed the deadline to get my Black Christmas cards into production in time but I've got lots more things in the works! I've been enjoying creating, even though I'm a bit burnt out and outside of my business I'm still working haha so there's not much down time, but I'm going to try to take a self imposed break over the Chrissy period so I can keep chugging along making things and doing design work too. . . #blackrabbitwhiterabbit #brwr #etsy #etsyseller #etsyshop #handmade #etsysellersofinstagram #smallbusiness #shopsmall #etsyfinds #art #christmas #handmadegifts #shoplocal #giftideas #design #artist #designer #jewellery #accessories #dogs #dogsofinstagram #artistsofig #shophandmade #supportsmallbusiness #doggifts #doginbottle #cat #sakura #cute (at Black Rabbit White Rabbit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5reV6ajTKW/?igshid=1hapq6j7znbhw

Wow what an incredible night! Congrats to all my fellow designers exhibiting work at @3rdyearshowcase, it was such a great turnout! My mum, my brother, my partner, Damien, and my good friend Renee (@chibi.pins) and her partner, Lawrence all came to support me for opening night ❤️ Their encouragement, advice, feedback and support have been instrumental in helping to propel me to where I am now as a designer, along with the amazing tutors and staff at @lcimelbourne. Unfortunately I did have one of my pins stolen from my display when I went to look at the rest of the exhibition, which is disappointing. I luckily had a replacement to display for the Regent Honey Eater that went AWOL, but hopefully the person that took it will appreciate it, and maybe realise it was actual stock and ping me a message. On the whole though, a great exhibition. I thoroughly enjoyed a sleep-in this morning! Be sure to follow my page @blackrabbitwhiterabbitdesigns, and if you missed out nabbing one of my pins at the exhibition last night, both the Critically Endangered Bird and Bunny Collections are available in my Etsy store (Etsy.com/store/blkrabbitwtrabbit). $2 from the sale of each pin is donated to BirdLife towards critically endangered bird conservation ☺️ . #blackrabbitwhiterabbit #brwr #enamelpins #pins #hardenamelpins #pinsforacause #designer #graphicdesigner #graphicdesign #artist #lcicollege #academyofdesign #exhibition #galleryexhibition #gallery #3rdyearshowcase https://www.instagram.com/p/B1yTQ7QDq3H/?igshid=nd54axe9w2ud
