Mount Kaputar: A living volcano
By Paula Peeters, Adam Fawcett, Shannon Greenfields and James Faris.
Developed in partnership with Saving our Species, New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment; and in collaboration with New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service.
‘Possums of Australia’ design collection
Yes I have a possum obsession!
Maybe you do too?
I decided to illustrate all 27 species of possum and glider that live in Australia. I’ve loved these critters for a long time, perhaps because most of them live in forests, and I also love forests.
As a result I now present you with 8 different possum / glider designs.
Organic Cotton Tea towels are available now for 2 of these designs!
On sale now!
