My first two-day market! Brisbane turned up the heat (literally!) for The Made Local Market across the weekend at the RNA Showgrounds. I’m so thrilled with how it went, and delighted to have met so many new customers (and seen some familiar faces, and return clients)

You’ve found the perfect piece, but how to frame it? Does it NEED a frame? Plenty of info here to help you work out what’s best for your new artwork.

An update on what’s been happening in the past few months - it’s been busy, that’s for sure!

Looking for a surface designer and don’t know where to start? Surface designs are the print or pattern that cover any object. Artwork that really stands out, or fits in well with an established or emerging brand or idea. A surface design can be applied to clothing, accessories, homewares (think lampshades or bedspreads), wallpaper, curtains, stationery, gift wrap… the list goes on! They're an investment in your product that every single customer (and prospective customer) will see. And surface designs are important. They can give a feel for a business - whether they're more simplified tones, or more flamboyant, vibrant works. It can set the tone.

My ‘word of the year’ and why it’s important to Darling Creative. New designs added to the Pattern Library, more works on the way and Custom Design services

New work from the ‘studio’, and a few ideas in the pipeline…
