Launched late last year, the Byron Bay based gallery provides a great space for solo and group exhibitions and celebrates all forms of art such as painting, drawing, photography and even its more recent addition of graffiti art. If your in the area, be sure to visit this Friday from 6pm to have a look at Beastman in action with a live graffiti spraying session! The gallery is definitely worth a visit if you’re heading to Byron in the future.

It's the little things that make all the difference
Being the second week of the new year, it was only a matter of time that we’d receive samples of our new products for our February collection, so we were very excited to see that a box had arrived this morning! What we were even more excited about was to see that the lovely Fifi, who works with us to manufacture offshore, had meticulously wrapped each product, added a note and even made small kraft ribbons and placed them on the outside of each little package. A little surprise that definitely made our day a little brighter and put a smile on our faces! It goes to show that even the smallest of gestures and putting in that little bit more effort really does make all the difference.

Art Meets Matter
Recently Kathy bought herself and her sister two lovely canvas prints from Art Meets Matter, a store based in the UK. Featuring Penguin book classics, we thought these were a neat little idea to give your walls a bit of colour and they make a great gift. The canvas prints come in a variety of classic novels from Great Expectations, Wuthering Heights and The Great Gatsby, are printed on 100% cotton canvas using archival inks and are ready to hang - simple and sweet! Quirky in nature, Art Meets Matter features a variety of quaint products, from mugs, lighting, tea towels and even deck chairs that feature some well known titles!
