Hobohemia

So, I have had to keep my little lips shut about this sneaky project for the past few months,
and now I can finally share the news with you.

I ventured out this merry evening for the opening night of a new store in Paddington called Hobohemia. The store features a unique collection of goods from the 1920s era, from oversized fur coats, to nautical chandeliers and all beautiful things in between. Store owners Mike and Lizzie worked so hard to make their dream shop become a reality and I was lucky to be a part of it.

We collaborated to design a series of images suitable for their company, and the end result, like the shop itself, is a bit quirky.

Please do yourself a favour Brisbane folk, and mosey on down to be delighted by the collection of goods Hobohemia has to offer.

They're open Thursday - Sun, 10 - 5pm and are found at 285A Given Tce.

    Wow, everything you made for them is stunning! Seriously some of my favorite work you did!

    The shop looks awesome, I wish I could visit it. The snail-guy on the top left of the last picture has me intrigued!

    Sounds cool! I should really check out Paddington one of these days, but that means crossing the river and going past the city - so much effort, lol.
    Luuuurve the foxes, and especially love the sailor with the swallows ^^
    Also, type = win.
    AND you look super cute, your pin has caught my eye...

    Your works is gourgeous! really nice... I just wondering what technique do you use to create your art works? Is it you draw on illustrator or Photoshop? I would be so thankful if you would answer this. Because all of your work look so great.
