Taronga Zoo is the biggest zoo in Sydney, right on Sydney Harbour where the lucky animals enjoy sweeping million dollar harbour views, and receive free hay every day. Not a bad life. Can the zoo take me in? I don't eat much.

The final pics of the 10 sketchels will be shown here soon....and are auctioned off in the annual zoo event this saturday! I'll be making an appearance and listening to the jazz band and monkey sounds, whilst eating some hay flavoured canapes...

ABOVE: Nylon Magazine November 2005 wrote about the project I was invited to design for, Vynil, invented by a Paris based company Domestic. Vynil is a new stick on wallpaper with designs by people like Laurent Fetis, Genevieve Gauckler, Jeremyville and my talented friends Mike and Katie from Tado, among others. You can create your own scene on your wall using sheets with all my elements on there like 'shrooms and flowers and worms and clouds. Very interactive, the design can be as large or small as you want, depending on how many sheets you get. Nice idea. www.domestic.fr
 

LEFT: Mini Circus Punk design for the upcoming series 2, distributed by Strangeco in the US. You'll be able to order it soon, if so inclined.

This design is called Cafe Kerouac, and is semi autobiographical, considering the number of lattes I've drunk at Cafe Kerouac in Jeremyville.
