Yes, it’s primary gifting time again… Once a year we buy like we’ve never bought before, and for those in Australia this is a special time as jolly uncle Kevin has given most of us a handy $1,000 bonus (even more if you’re skilled breeders.) So spend like your economy depends on it and join me in a bit of pre gifting madness.
My suggestion? LoungeKat of course - and for the cranky activist or stormcloud in the family? You can’t go past Bucket’o'Thought. We’ve both added a swag of smaller “budget friendly” prints and trinkets for you this holiday season. As for the economic downturn - we would like to remind all of our US customers that the Australian dollar has fallen to a massive low- That means you save money and we still get to eat. Yay!
Every order shipped between now and the end of December will include a free greeting card! Awesome!

Mmmmm tasty!
Peter Alexander "the King of Pyjamas" has pissed me off!
Along with his constant barrage of gender insulting fem' creations and kitschy "appropriated" patterns it has become apparent that it is also "cool" to rip design.
What I'm talking about is a photo treatment for the latest p.o.s and catalogue that clearly syphons an uncomfortable dose of iconic street artist Kaws.
We've come to the point where artists throw a big fuck-you at advertising and the corporates take that fuck you and turn it into fat pay-cheques and mad props.
FUCK YOU PETER ALEXANDER and your "creative" whores too!
Yes, you've read correctly - I've finally made an Etsy store!
Not only will you find button badges of LoungeKat goodness, you will also see that from time to time there will be guest artists such as Paul Maybury and OkayBoss!
Go check it out, but don't forget to bookmark as designs are being updated regularly and more guest artists will be joining in soon :)

I'm thinking about switching over to a hosted wordpress blog so that I can have a little more control over my content and stats. This may take a while as I'm currently tweaking all the values and such in the CSS and I'm hardly a pro at it ;)
Anyway, not much on the art front for now, I have a commission in the works but it will take another week or so,
so for now, here's a new pattern I came up with the other day.
Enjoy.
So allot of people have shown me the recent fashion spread by Fafi and Vogue (childrens edition)
and if you haven't seen it you can see some photos here.
And somehow I was supposed to find it cute or inspirational because, among other things, I draw sexy girls too...
But this is where I draw the line - The line between post pubescent and pre pubescent girls have blurred over the last decade or so and we are now faced with a huge dilemma - the over sexualisation of girls, who don't even know what it is to be sexual, and a whole industry that profits from this degradation.
So here's my reply to all who care...
Have a nice weekend.
Yes, we're back...and...well...we're loving it!
No offence to the lovely people we met and know in Sydney, but there's a few things a Melbourne duo can miss about home like coffee, friendly service and trams.
For those of you who don't know, Sean and I had our first exhibition in Sydney over the weekend, or to be more exact at Ruban Rat (vinyl toy store) in Newtown.
Ruban Rat is located on King street and stocks a variety of vinyl toys, blind boxes, books/magazines and t'shirts.
The stock is selected by the owner Rachel who in my eyes has great taste in these things and if you live nearby you should definitely go down and take a look at what's in stock.
Sean and I picked up a wooden "Hells Proprietor" by Glenn Barr and a "Dr Destruction" by Muttpop.
Newtown is probably the closest Sydney gets to being like home with a few good cafes and an abundance of Thai food that kept us well fed.
Opening night went well, we met some really nice people who came to appreciate our work despite the rain, (apparently rain keeps the Sydney people away) and landed a few sales too.
Sean and I worked on our first ever collaborative print specifically for the show called "Fight Like Rabbits", coming in at over a meter in length this is one hell of a print.
If you can't make it to the show you can purchase it as a Giclée print on cotton rag paper (limited edition of 10 worldwide!) over at BucketoThought.com
Huge thanks to Will and Nell for putting us up for our stay, their hospitality knows no bounds, and to Winston and Jess (their dogs) for jumping all over Sean.
Another big thank-you to Rachel at Ruban Rat for putting up with our bickering during setup and constant bitching about Sydney.

As you may know by now Sean and I were lucky enough to be in the Villain Store Cut Outs show.
For this we had to create a piece of artwork in cut out format in either, paper, wood or mixed media. As we're both digital artists (well more that than anything else in our repertoire) we had our pieces printed out and mounted into foam-core by the very helpful Matt (Stink) from Visy.
Mine, a geisha and Sean's, Monkey Magic fighting a demon.
Everyone had their own unique interpretation of the cut out theme with pieces ranging from sculpted wood and metal to 2D plywood, and even a pile of dirt was brought in for GhostPatrol's contribution.
Opening night was huge, with a great turnout, lots of beer (Massive thanks to Julian for dashing out on a beer run after the sponsors drinks were all consumed.) and most of the pieces were sold.
As usual, Per Square Meter were brilliant hosts and extended way more than their fair share of hospitality.
For those of you who couldn't make it to opening night, the show is on until the 8th of June.
