Roadworks are over! Hooray!

My spies out at Gardenvale HQ tell me that the roadworks that have been annoying them so long are finally over! And to celebrate, they have special garage sale items just for you! Head to 107-109 Gardenvale Road to snap up a bargain.

PS: As annoying as the roadworks were, they did result in some nice pictures taken by the boss...

Busy busy Wednesday!

Guess what we're doing today! We are installing four 84 x 54inch (2.2m x 1.5m) canvases in the foyer of the Hilton at the Melbourne airport. They are classic black and whites, which compliment the themes of the hotel. We also have a range of ten 12x12 canvas titles, cards, calendars, bookmarks and postcards for sale in the foyer from the concierge. : ) Yay Wednesday! Here's one of the shots we'll be hanging...
