Bespoke Letterpress Boutique, a printing studio in Brissie, is looking to commission illustrators to create a range of lovely limited edition prints, which will be sold online and in shops. The winning artworks will be pressed beautifully by Charlie; their sometimes grumpy 1893 printing press. Some ideas include peacocks, flamingos, teacups, vintage hot air balloons, sweet girls with flowing hair and flocks of ducks. Illustrators will be paid $250 per illustration and also receive 10 copies of the final printed artwork. If you’d like to know more, email owner This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Fellow bag ladies rejoice. Luisa Clare has released a whole range of new delights we simply must have. Mr Rudd, can we please get stimulated again? We really need to support this Australian design label.
