the shop is open!

Hey-de-ho!

After a couple of requests I have made some greeting cards using some of the pandemic drawing I’d done throughout 2020 and into 2021. The inside of all the cards are blank so you can write something special of your own.

So I’ve re-opened my online shop and added them, check it out here essayer.com.au/shop

I’ve had them printed professionally, but only in a small run, to test the waters. Essentially the early bird will catch the worm here. But I’m happy to print more especially if you want to make a large or, dare I say, a wholesale order or would like to distribute them or… well the possibilities are endless, email shop@essayer.com.au and I’m sure we can work something out.

So, check out the cards, I’ve also got a few tea towels left and some copies of the book I did with Wild Dog Books, Earth Matters : loving our planet. Which you can opt to purchase, if you so wish.

There’s also a link to my Redbubble page there to order t-shirts, just in cases :)

Cheers!

Back and cleaning up the bird poop!

Having been out of the studio of the last little while – nearly a month! I came in to find my little studio buddy has left their calling card on my desk. The cheeky culprit was getting brave with no-one about, but is elusive now I’m back.

little studio buddy

Overused phrase I’m sure, but it is interesting times. How we go back to what we did and how we did it will be as fascinating as living through how it all turned upside down.

An opportunity to do things better but I fear is that the loudest and greediest will have their way and the rest will be cleaning up after them. Again.

What is interesting is the most effective way of protecting the community from the infection is caring work. Providing space for people, cooking, cleaning, teaching, reassuring, nursing. Caring. Caring about each other.

A vaccine is really the only way this will enable anything like how we used to travel, live, share. We will just have to keep caring.

But since it’s Mother’s Day in Australia in a few weeks (10th May). I’ve put some new cards up (see below) which are suitable for just this occasion, along with the tea towels and prints that may bring a smile.

So pop by the shop and see what’s available and to help you out I’ve set up a code for free shipping anywhere in Australia. Put in WINNING2020 at the checkout until 6th May.

The postal service is a bit slammed at the moment but with all that’s going on sending things by post is a fab way to connect with people you can’t see in person (who doesn’t like a surprise in the mail that’s not a bill?!?) so order early, order often!

Cheers,
