Jessie Deane Calendar
$25.00
Visit product page →The 2022 Jessie Deane Calendar makes a perfect gift for those who hold dear Melbourne's western suburbs. All images are photographed from the original artworks of the award winning artist Jessie Deane.
The artwork pays homage to Melbourne's west. It is a collection of needlepoint artworks inspired by, and of, the suburbs of Melbourne's west. The work highlights the beauty in the banality of these fading social landscapes. A documentation of a changing landscape.
Deane takes the mundane flatness of the subjects and breathes new life into these gems in the most surprising of ways. Deane's work evokes feelings of a memory and connection, both through the medium and the imagery which reminds people to look more closely at the landscape in which they live.

The Bird King
Sold out
Visit product page →The Bird King (2010, expanded edition 2019) is a collection of various sketches by master illustrator, Shaun Tan.
Beautifully presented random jottings, preliminary designs for book, film and theatre projects, sketchbook pages and drawings from life. Each of these represent some aspect of a working process, whereby stories generally evolve from visual research and free-wheeling doodles. They are also 'unfinished' pieces created in a single sitting, not originally intended for publication, and for that reason perhaps more revealing of a personal style (and particular obsessions) than other more polished artwork.

The Colourist - Issue 3
$24.95
Visit product page →The Colourist is a unique Bookazine (bigger than a magazine, smaller than a book) dedicated to Annie Sloan's passion for colour. It is a collectable, bi-annual publication of 132 carefully curated pages bound in a covetable cover.
Issue 3 of The Colourist focuses on blues! Blues are always recessive; meaning they make a space feel bigger by drawing the eye. Other than that, blues can be wildly varied! Cool and icy, warm and sunny, dark and atmospheric, or bright and vibrant, you’ll find inspiring examples of beautiful blues reflecting each of these diverse qualities inside this edition of The Colourist."

The Kitchen Tales
$29.00
Visit product page →The Kitchen Tales is a collection of short stories written by local writer Sally Mansen about the fictional lives of a passing generation of Australian women. The ageing characters offer their cautionary tales to contemporary women around themes of domesticity and power. Funny, sweet, and sad, while creeping into myth as the common language of our humanity, the stories face honestly the lingering question around a woman’s identity and destiny. The Kitchen Tales is strikingly designed as an early-mid 20th Century chapbook with dust cover. Printed on sustainable papers and produced in Melbourne.
Sally’s writing has been awarded by the National Trust of Victoria, by Short Story Prizes of local and regional writing festivals, and by the Port Phillip Citizens for Reconciliation. It has also appeared in Australian Womankind magazine. The Colours of Mrs A. Daloney, one of the stories in this collection, was awarded the National Alan Marshall Short Story Award Longlist in 2010
