Hi hi,
Well it's the end of the month and yet again I have some illustrations for the local rag, Talking Heads.
Tonight is the town hall meeting to discuss saving the Barwon Heads Bridge. This image is a view of the underside of the wooden bridge. Sadly Victoria state road managment is planning to tear down the bridge and replace it with two separate bridges. The local population is roughly 300 in the low season. Needless to say two bridges are a bit excessive. Apart from that, the locals love the simplicity and heritage of the bridge so they would prefer if it was restored.
As I continue to research food and design sites I have encountered a couple of really fun and worthwhile sites to visit:
Martha Stewart, as many of you may know, has started a "blog"
blueprint
There is, without a doubt, a massive resurgence of craft making. Sponge is a site which lists great craftspeople as well as before and after images of redecorated furniture. I personally don't always think they improve all the pieces but it's fun to keep up with what people are doing.

Wine shop with amazing design which makes me REALLY miss NYC
Pasanella and Sons located near the old Fulton Market
pasanellaandson.com
A great spot to get handmade crafts, letterpress cards, silk screened products, jewellery and such, at what seems so far, very reasonable prices
