War Skull by Frank Stillitano
OK enough of the mushy stuff, back on to my favourite topic of war, oil, death and how all 3 are related.

Sorry by Dee Boylan
I think it’s important to remember that whilst It’s good to celebrate living in Australia with all our diversities and cultures and freedom it’s just as important to acknowledge the ways in which we could change and grow. Saying “sorry” to the original Indigenous inhabitants of this country is the first of many important steps that must be taken in order for the healing of past and present wrongs to take place….when this is done we will truly be able to move forward and celebrate Australia day for all.

EMotion by Frank Stillitano
This is a study of the word ‘emotion’. The typography emphasizes the fact that the word ‘motion’ is nested within it and also refers to the way emotion moves humans through the use of space and pattern.

Not Alone, Just Lonely by Martin Hampson
I like how nature so often emulates your real emotions and feelings. This shell appears to be all alone even though we all know there would be hundreds of other shells on the same beach. Just like my feelings now, I know I have a lot of friends and family that care for me so I am certainly not ‘alone’.... and yet without having that ‘special person’ in my life I still feel lonely. Not alone, just lonely.
