The Dog has a new profile page.

Posted about 1 month ago

I’ve finally done something that I’ve wanted to do for ages – I’ve updated my Red Bubble profile page to hopefully make it a bit cleaner and less of a jolt when people arrive from the Same Dog Design website.

Check out the new layout here and let me know what you think.

Sketchbook Project Finished

Posted about 1 year ago

In August last year I spotted a journal on Red Bubble where someone (Soxy Fleming I’m thinking) talked about taking part in the Sketchbook Project. Five months later and two days before the deadline I have a sketchbook. Read about the ‘journey’ HERE

Bing Sings for Same Dog

Posted about 1 year ago

Until 25 December 2010, if you buy any item of clothing from my Red Bubble store that’s white, you’ll get 20% off. When Bing Crosby heard (yes, the real Bing) he couldn’t resist singing about it (and ordering a couple of hoodies).

Check out Bing’s stand-out performance of the season HERE

It’s been a while, but two of my favourite kids Spot and Snot have had their moment in the sun today and have been featured on the Red Bubble home page. Their dad is as pleased as punch.

Posted almost 2 years ago

Back in 2008 one of my designs posted a One Monster Protest (seriously). Like many activists before him, Jeff’s Back eventually had to come down for some food and a decent cup of Twinings Afternoon Extra Strong.

Now, from a little something I spied over here it seems that Jeff’s Back might indeed make it from the front to the back sometime soon.

GRETZLBUMPL!!!!!! (that would be Monste…

One profile or two?

Posted almost 2 years ago

For some time I’ve been weighing up whether to have one profile on Red Bubble for my digital art and illustration, and a second one just for photography. The digital work is my first love, photography a hobby at best, but I still sell photos from time to time so I don’t want to drop them all together. Just feeling more and more that when you visit my page you could be forgiven for won…

The Dog's work in a local rag

Posted almost 2 years ago

For all my Tassie mates on the Bub, one of my pics has made it to the back page of the ‘T’ section in the Mercury this morning. My next goal is to make it to the full page spread of the front page.


Exciting news from the Same Dog kennel!

Posted about 2 years ago

After many years of dreaming, I finally have a decent area to work at. As always I reckon I could do with double the amount of space, but hey, my last desk was a third the size of this one. I wanted to share this on Red Bubble first because it’s pretty symbolic. Red Bubble was the first place where I was allowed to be an artist without having to show my credentials or be assessed. I was wel…

Graphic Design Hourly Rates

Posted about 2 years ago

Does anyone have any advice on how much I can charge as an hourly rate for logo design? Or am I best to decide on a fixed rate? Working in Australia if that’s any help. Any advice appreciated.
