It's been a whole year since I was last in Tassie tackling the role of bridesmaid for one of my most cherished friends @madelinejohnston94.

What a beautiful day, with beautiful friends! 💖🥰

I have so many exciting ideas I want to work on, but just nothing is happening. Here’s hoping I can lose this funk soon. 🔮

I’m joining @clemence_gouy‘s #angrywitchcircle to stand with the women of Poland. They are trying to pass some pretty shitty laws that would make abortions illegal in basically every circumstance, even when the pregnancy isn’t viable. Can old white men stop dictating our bodies? Sex education and educating women are some of the most effective ways to reduce abortions. Making them illegal doesn’t reduce them, it stops safe ones. If you’d like to join go to @clemence_gouy and download the template! 🧙‍♀️🔥 #facesarehard #togetherwestand

Jerry is all ready for Halloween. But beware, you may end up with cat food! 👻🎃

Yesterday I got to leave the house with @wearesandpit to help prep hardware for Dinos at the Zoo at @zoosvictoria for their reopening today! I also broke out the ol' SLR to document it all. I’m glad I still remember how ISO works, and I'm super proud of the animation work I got to do onscreen! 🦖

For the last couple weeks I keep getting reminder emails that my domain for dreamingin8bit.com is expiring. So let’s celebrate my first and currently only attempt at 8bit, and what nightmares I imagined computers would be plagued with. Whilst it won’t be a website for much longer, it can live here now 💻🐑

I’m glad I followed my instinct to get in my car and drive to the @royalbotanicgardensvic today🌲🌳🌱

A happy four day weekend to me! I’m starting tomorrow right by having a virtual brunch with my mum featuring an Eggs Bene-Duck from @dearabbey_cafe 🦆 edit: their kitchen was closed and can only do sandwiches and coffee, rip.

What a throwback! It’s been six years since I created these type based posters back in first year. I still adore them! 🖊

867 is the answer for how many layers were part of the animation. Each frame had about 50 individual layers! No wonder it took so long! Congratulations to @bunsbroochesanddresses with her guess of 120 frames (although she did guess 792 frames!). Thanks to everyone who entered!

It took 16 frames to create the Japanese grapefruit soft drink animation I posted last week. Congratulations to @zoehudesign who was closest with a guess of 14!

In celebration of the longest time I’ve ever spent on an animation, I have a competition for you! All you have to do is like this post and comment below how many frames you think this animation has, and how many single layers there are in the whole thing (if you want to tag your buddies, hey I won’t turn my nose up at free promotion 😉).

There will be two prizes available for the closest guess for both. What do you win? I will turn the animation of your choosing into a print and ship it to you! You have until Sunday 11 Oct at 5pm and I will announce the winners on Monday 12 Oct.   * This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed or associated with Instagram. It is open to Australian residents only.

After three solid weeks of working on this everyday I have finally finished my animation of the Dydo Pink Grapefruit drink that stole my tastebuds in Japan. I learnt a lot completing this project, mainly that I never want to be a traditional animator!

This amazing Japanese soft drink has a peculiar texture combo of carbonation, jelly and chewy nata de coco. I’m obsessed with the flavour and bottle design even though I can’t get it in Australia and from Google searches it looks discontinued. I have a full backlog of ideas from that trip that I’m finally beginning to work on, which is terribly exciting!

@stualt3 and I had the chance to visit @cactuscountry at the start of the year, when we could still leave the house. After a few too many frozen margaritas I was asking Stu “why don’t they water the cacti with tequila?”

After hearing “that’s ridiculous”, and “how drunk are you?” I turned to Google for back up and found nothing. So @cactuscountry can you settle this? Undiscovered genius, or just asking for a bunch of alcoholic cacti? 🌵🍹

I spontaneously bought some smart bulbs and have spent the better part of this afternoon playing around with them. There’s still a lot more to figure out as far as automation goes, but I’m having fun! 💡

I cannot believe this time FOUR years ago I was living it up on my first international trip to Japan. I cannot wait until I can get on a plane again soon. ✈️🌏

I got to be a very proud sister. Tash graduated her community pharmacy course today and managed to secure work before graduating. What a rockstar?! 🎓💊

I did an itty bitty animation inspired by the business that offered sushi and car washes on Bell Street that I’d always pass while driving. 🍣🚗

Unfortunately it has very recently transitioned to a burger and car wash combo.

I finally got around to sinking my teeth into @procreate and celebrated the occasion by drawing some xiao long bao based on @stualt3 and I’s poor (yet tasty) attempt from the weekend. If anyone has dumpling tips please let me know! While this piece doesn’t look quite as polished as my other digital illustration work, I’m looking forward to practicing with a looser hand drawn style! 🥟

After teasing it on my story an embarrassingly long time ago, my pokie is finally finished! 💰
