40 degrees in the shade. La sera

On the hottest day in Victoria so far in 2011, I made some swift but necessary changes to an interior wall of La Sera pizza restaurant on St Georges rd, North Fitzroy.

Boy was i glad to be under the air con and next to the Gelato fridge..

Here you can see the feature wall before i hit itwith tomatoes.....

DENCH bakery. wheat free fun

Even though i've been told i'm the only person in the Northside of Melbourne that still drinks coffee with chocolate sprinkles on (cappuchinos are soo last year darl! ).. John Dench, master baker of Victoria trusted me to decorate his cafe on Scotchmer St.North Fitzroy.

I drew a Faye Suzannah style wheaty pattern in a custard yellow with sourdough coloured details whilst i sipped my soya capp and wondered what all the fuss was with Australia Day anyway.

Many thanks to little miss Laura here who not only totally hooked me up with caffine and walls to keep me well busy during my time in Melbs, but makes wonderful things from wool and string in her spare time.

Considering my history of bread and toast art, i think Dench and I may have a future together

The festive season was an absolute smash for us all here in Mullumbimby. Inbetween beach trips and birthday parties we also got some work done. Milk and Honey pizza restaurant had a break from the woodfired oven and we got busy on the walls. Massive respect, thanks and happy new year wishes to the Pellen family for knowing what they wanted and trusting us to paint with hangover shakes!



of course i had my bestest helper to make it all even more worth it!
