indie art & design from Australia

Tonight I found this weblog featuring products made by independant Australian artists, designers and craftspeople founded originally as a personal project by Sydney graphic designers Carolyn and Martin in late 2006. Read here about their story. A directory of the designers and makers on their site is here. Comprehensive links to other indie sites are here.  The feature interview just now is with Simone Madigan from States of Nature.

This Destination satchel printed by Simone with water-based dye seems to have been so popular it sold out!

This is a very innovative project well worth a look and featuring a large flock of creative talent of distinction. Of coarse I could have shown you so much more...I'll let you explore though!
