Jimmy – I love Jon Burgerman’s characters, I must say they are a big inspiration to me. Check out his stuff – jonburgerman.com

I think I like them so much because they are so fluid and unpolished. Just nice ideas, and characters. Excellent use of colour too!

During the day I head up the creative team at a company that specialises in viral marketing for social media, called Small World. We are redoing our website at the mo, so I will post it here when we’re done! Some of our clients are The Australian Ballet, The State Library and the School Canteen Association (you can see some of their work in my show reel my clicking on my name at the top of this post).

In my own time I freelance and make short films and other fun stuff where I often collaborate with other people who are fun to work with. I am always on the lookout for people to team up with so if you have a cool idea for a film clip, t shirt, interactive elephant enclosure or whatever! feel free to drop me line at hello@michellemade.com.au

To give you an idea of a typical week, at the moment I am working on an identity for a Thai restaurant, a website for an artist management firm, a t shirt graphic for an indie band, and motion graphics for an online training interactive.

Apologies for the long post! hope that answers your question.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. Cut and Paste is featured in IDN magazine. This is something you should get your eyeballs onto pronto if you have not done already. I sent them my show reel and was chosen to compete. Anyone in Australia can enter. The 2010 comp deadline will be some time in March. Keep an eye on the cutandpaste.com website for details.

Good luck!
