Last week I was flown down to Sydney for an art exhibition, awards night and general party-like-gathering for past winners of the Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship. The event was held at the Art Gallery of NSW, and the lovely organisers exhibited some of my Squish Rabbit illustrations, alongside installations from other previous winners (including paintings, sculptures, acting videos, dance, poetry and music). It was a whirlwind couple of days, and instead of writing about it all I decided to capture my time as a photo diary. I took these using Instagram, my current favourite iPhone app:

At the exhibition (unfortunately the perspex display makes it hard to see my illos)
Coffee with lovely ladies (L to R): Melina Marchetta ('Looking for Alibrandi'), Sophie Hamley (my agent) and Pip Harry (soon to be published by UQP)
Autumn in Hyde Park
Reading + Lindt cafe = two of my favourite things
View from a bench where I sat writing to the kick and skud of skateboards
Lunch with illustrator friend/fiend Serena Geddes
Breakfast at Ampersand (look it up - awesome)
