POISON IVY RORSCHACH

All hail Poison Ivy Rorschach, co founding mistress of The Cramps and Gretsch slinging queen of rock’n roll.

I’ve been lucky enough to have witnessed The Cramps in Melbourne, London and New York. Their live shows were a hoot- Lux’s hilarious antics contrasted with Ivy’s ice cool badass-ery and guitar prowess.

Her important role was often undermined. “Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” she said. “I’m the queen of rock n’ roll and for this to not to be recognised is pure sexism.”

A4 and A3 Ivy prints are now available in the shop as part of the music icons print range.

High quality giclee print on 300gsm natural Cotton Rag Art Paper using archival inks. Limited edition of 100 hand signed and numbered by the artist.

LEILANI

Aloha! A new print is in the store and somehow I forgot to post it here! Following on from China Girl, this is Leilani, featuring all things Hawaiian. The name was inspired by the Hoodoo Gurus song of the same name, taken from their classic 80’s debut album, Stoneage Romeos. It’s still a fave of mine. Leilani is a Hawaiian name that means heavenly flower.

My great grandfather lived in Hawaii for sometime and came back to Australia to design and build his home inspired by his travels, complete with palm trees. It was a very unusual design for 1905. He named it Hale Mauka (house on the hill) and it still stands today.

She is available in A3 size up to A0 poster size. Shown below holding the A2 size. Head to the shop for more details.

JETSTAR

If you're lucky enough to be jetting off this month with Jetstar, then check out their latest inflight magazine. My two prints 'The Jungle Room' and 'Pineapple Mary' sitting pretty in an Hawaiian Island Style editorial. Complete with pineapples, flamingoes and tropical goodness, they look right at home.
