Do you feel aligned with your true purpose? I came across an article about creating a work life you love, "Finding your Passion Sweet Spot" by @rennehasseldine, which I adapted into this painted quote.

♥️What inspires you to jump out of bed?

♥️Can you do it for the long term?

♥️Grow your skills and strengths to keep moving forward

♥️Where can you make a difference in the area you are passionate about?

♥️Do you like who you are when you do it, and does it bring harmony to you and others? I'm saying Yes to many of these things, and actively improving my skills every year.

If you're stuck and need some great guidance, check out

A new ambigram inspired by Shinobu Ishihara's eye tests. First published in 1917, the originals test for red-green colour deficiency. Mine just tests if you can read this word upside-down! 😉

How's your eyesight?! 🤓 swipe for another test

This is the only ambigram I’ve designed where the illustration came first. I knew I wanted to use Ishihara dots, so brainstormed words such as eye, colour, Ishihara, and hidden, but Vision seemed to work best, and it fit inside the circle easily.

When your friend’s name is an ambigram AND it’s her birthday AND she loves green botanicals, this is whatcha get! I love creating personalised gifts, and this is, so far, one of my all-time favourites.

The makings of Neighbourhood Coffee, real time and some time lapse. Usually, when I visit a venue, I like to take a touch of type — either a chalkboard, bookmark, sign or brush lettering. This time it was a @winsorandnewton @royaltalensau #ecoline watercolour piece! Swipe for the version that didn’t make the cut 😮🙃

Because not every waterbrush-lettered creation has to be on expensive watercolour paper! Experimenting on different materials can produce some dramatic results. Give it a go! Swipe for the texturey goodness 💛

Is this the world's first musical ambigram? Maybe! Either way, it was fun to create this animation accompanied by tunes from @stepcatmusic who remixed Duke Ellington's 1931 classic 🎵🎶🎺 This one's for the music lovers 🖤

Flourished hand lettering, vectored in Illustrator, then animated in After Effects by inverting the outlines and placing a moving background underneath.

October is month of the Opal, which derives from the Greek ‘opallos’ meaning ‘to see a change’. The spectacular changing colours in opals signify love, passion and desire.

This lettering was vectored in Illustrator, then inverted in After Effects. Matching screensaver and process in Highlights. My dad's birthday is in October, so I dedicate this creation to him.

This naughty ambigram has been in my sketchbook for weeks. Feel free to give it a filthy look.....I did! 😎

Ecoline watercolours are so vibrant! 💚💛

Over the past 200 years, Australia has lost more species than any other continent, and continues to have the highest rate of species decline.

It feels insurmountable but we have the power to help!

❇️ choose recycled and vegan goods

❇️ make/use an organic pesticide for your garden

❇️ shop at Farmer’s markets and/or buy unpackaged food

❇️ plant trees to restore habitats

I often feel badly purchasing watercolour paper pads but do my darndest to ensure scraps get recycled. Design studios, such as @borninpaper and @wherethingshappenstudio wrap their cards and products with paper belly bands instead of plastic sleeves, and @strongarmpress uses vintage 1950s paper for letterpress workshops — we can all make a difference in some way.

A new ambigram for June, the first month of winter and month of the Alexandrite -- a jewel named after Russia’s Prince Alexander II because it was first discovered on his birthday in 1830. With flashy flecks of green & red (which happened to be Russia’s military colours), it became their national jewel. I doubt they'd have liked it when, years later, someone renamed it Chrysoberyl 🙃

Brush lettering is so meditative. Here I’m using purple Royal & Langnickel - Art & Craft watercolour with Ecoline concentrate #548 (Blue Violet).

This fresh new screensaver was made for February, month of the Amethyst. From freehand watercolour lettering to vectoring triangles in Adobe Illustrator, it was converted from A4 size down to square, landscape and portrait size for online use.

Miami Marketta was the destination for a double celebration of birthday and engagement. So many food options — here’s the paella! �

The sign itself is a mixture of purple and red gouache. Normally gouache doesn't blend very well, but with just a few extra drops of water, it can respond similarly to watercolour. The main differences: gouache is more vibrant and it dries opaque. Give gouache a go and see what you can create.
