ARBORY x FOUR PILLARS

The Arbory Afloat in Melbourne have collaborated with Four Pillars to create a limited edition pink ‘Miami Afloat Gin’ exclusive to their Yarra River bar, featuring one of my illustrations on the label.

The ingredient list includes pineapple sage, orris root, strawberry gum, the peels of orange, lemon and grapefruit and the pink colour is the addition of Davidson Plums.

Unfortunatey the gin is not available to buy but you can taste it exclusively at the Arbory Afloat in Melbourne. I can vouch that it tastes as good as it looks. But be quick, the pink gin party will be over by the end of summer :)

Big thanks to 21-19 for the awesome design and Jacky Winter all things biz.

PLAYBOY FEMLIN

Late last year I received an email from Playboy US asking me to create an updated version of Leroy Neiman’s Femlin. I was beyond excited and flattered. I have always loved Neiman’s mischievous, nymphish character he created for the Party pages of Playboy magazine in 1955 and continued to create in the 60’s and 70’s.

It was so fun to work on this. It’s not often I receive a job where nudity is actually encouraged! And the art directors at Playboy were so lovely to work with.

I’m yet to see it in print but here are some of the images which are in the new quarterly Playboy magazine which launched Jan 18th 2019. Keep your eyes peeled at quality news stands.
