Last Day of Summer

Last day of summer today, but I think I'm still waiting for it to start. Its also the last day of my school holidays and being able to stay in my dressing-gown for extended periods every morning.

A photo I took in January using my Holga.

Although I'm sure in the coming weeks I will miss the laziness holidays has allowed, I am quite looking forward to student life and have been getting inspired by a few things that I would like to share here:

1.  'Girls Zine'

Even though its entirely in Japanese, one can still appreciate all of cute, quirky, naive illustration and design.  I often think that if I was Japanese I would be a better designer.  These are a few of my favourite pages in the book:

2. Valerie Anne Molnar knitted creations...

3. Pedal Pushers

Bike gang at uni.  We printed some tees for Bike Fest 2010 and we were back in the print room last tuesday making bags for orientation day.
