After having worked in the television and film industry for over a decade, I've decided to escape the madness and relaunch myself into the creative world of graphic design. This blog documents snippets of inspiration gathered, projects I'm working on, and miscellaneous musings. It's more of a creativity-inducing personal scrapbook than anything else, but I encourage you to peruse it's pages, and add insight and share interesting tidbits whenever possible, because they are very welcome.

Gangster Ink by Laura Satana

If you're a lover of tattoo culture and art, you're gonna love Parisian tattoo artists Laura Satana's sado-masochistic designs. Drawing on traditional old school tattoo, pulp and pinup culture, she creates really feminine, but totally badass images using electric colours and cartoony street gangster elements. I would love to stop by her tat shop next time I visit family in Paris and get something done, like one of her Day of the Dead skulls. 

Many more gorgeous designs can be seen on her website.

BellaMuse artist Alicia Peck

Alicia Peck has created these beautiful prints for her cards and stationary, found in specialty stores around the world. Her main sources of inspiration come from antique images and a wry sense of humor. I love the simple, elegant, craftiness they evoke. 


Check out her website and her Urban Alphabet Set (which I would LOVE to have).
