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!

Australian forests and where to find them
That’s me, in the orange bus. It’s the 1970’s, this bus is our family campervan, and we’re driving through wet sclerophyll forest north of Healesville, in Victoria.

In this blog series I’ll explore ecological patterns and processes big and small, using science and my own personal journey to tell the story, all through the visual language of cartoons.
