I’ve never cared much for the green ribbon. It goes back to my school days when I carefully chose the sporting events I entered, based on a simple criteria which merely required a complete lack of competition. Shot-put anyone? Anyone?? I’d stroll over to the far side of the oval, half-heartedly toss the ball 3 times and walk away with 1st 2nd and 3rd ribbons. That is until the day the I found myself standing in the shadow of the new girl – the female incarnate of Jaws. I suppose I should thank her for pushing me off the sporting field and into the art room. But I digress.
Allow me to present to you the artwork that secured me a Highly Commended in the 2012 Illustrators Australia awards for Australian and New Zealand Illustrators. This is the illustration I did for Gorman as an interpretation of “The Melbourne Look”, published in The M Magazine in The Sunday Age.
You can check out the rest of the gold, silver, and highly commendeds across all categories in this month’s edition of The Australian Creative magazine, or on the Illustrators Australia website.
Winning isn’t everything. No really, it’s not. I mean it. A bit.

Why thank you. I hate to be a bitch (lie), but I do feel somewhat confused by the definition of “illustration”. You picking up what I’m putting down?? x
