A GRAND ENTRANCE

Well this it too weird! I have been thinking about setting up a blog for ages, but obviously have never done anything about it! Now that I have done it I am a bit excited, but mostly TERRIFIED! I stumbled on this whole "blog" thing a little later than most, so I feel like I have HEAPS to learn - and what better way than just getting in there and having a go!!

I have read HEAPS of "FIRST POSTS" from lots of blogs to get an idea of how to start, but at the end of the day, I guess you just have to jump in there.

So basically I am a freelance illustrator ("slash" designer!) specialising in children's product design. I work out of my home based studio in Melbourne and am pretty passionate about what I do! I love all the colour and fun that the children's market promotes and I hope to share a glimpse of what inspires and motivates me through this blog.

I have a gorgeous husband and a slightly "handicapped" dog, who obviously play a big part in life, so no doubt they will get regular mentions in this blog too - so it's not all work! I hope to get involved in the "Illustration Friday" stuff that I have been learning about on blogs, so I guess my first test will be whether or not I can get started on that this week! Stay tuned! And welcome to my journey!
