This Illustration Friday entry is one week late… no matter, I enjoyed it.
The theme was ‘contagious’- I figured there would be a lot of swine flu references, but hopefully not many three little pigs.

Sculpture – Quokka clay model
Here’s a model I made in clay sculpture class at the Fremantle Arts Centre. It’s one of my characters from the covers I do each week for the Quokka newspaper.
He’s not painted yet, but he’s been fired in the kiln and come out looking spiffy.
It’s been an eye-opener to go from working in 2D to 3D.
Quokka- tools and construction
Apologies to Charles C Ebbets.
Quokka- junior footy
Junior footy= Australian Rules. To avoid any claims of bias, I avoided the colours of our two West Australian teams- the Eagles and the Dockers- and opted instead for green and gold, the colours of the Melville Hawks.
Illustration Friday- Clutter
Sometimes my brain is so full of thoughts that I think it might explode. One day my brain might be only one thought away from bursting point, and I’ll think to myself, “I’d better not have one more- *kABLOOIE*.
Illustration Friday- Memories
A friend said to me, “hey, you’re turning 26! Now you’re closer to 30 than you are to 20!” Hmm.
