Funds raised from artwork sales at the Men With Beards Exhibition will go towards Melbourne Citymission to help the homeless.
So I have been lucky enough to have my work chosen to be part of the upcoming
Men With Beards Exhibition! (Listed as Caroline, not Polydesign this time).
It will be held at Off the Kerb Gallery on Johnston Street in Collingwood.
Opening Night: Friday 5th April
Runs: 4 -19 April
Get along and support Melbourne City Mission’s great work by buying some great work!
Peep Skate Deck
Here is the first in a series of skateboard designs I’m working on. Hopefully you will see them available for sale in the future!
Polydesign Studio’s entry for January, “Steve Trunks”**
Do you like Origami? More specifically, do you like the challenge of creating your own origami paper?
10Fold are running an exciting competition at the moment that you may want to enter!

**He has a mouse pattern because it is a myth (as yet unproved either way) that elephants are afraid of mice. Steve Trunks, as you can see in this picture, is quite relaxed about vermin.
Hey all,
Great human rights event going on today, organised by Multicultural Arts Victoria.
“Supported by the City of Melbourne, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, Signal and Arts Centre Melbourne, the series of events will immerse us in human rights through the minds of the young expressed through their own voices and the imagination of street and contemporary live artists.”
Monday December 10, 12:30-2pm, Signal, FREE
Anti-Hate Campaign Launch – to tackle hate head on
“MAV in partnership with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission will officially launch the AntiHate Campaign to mark International Human Rights Day.
Anti-Hate is a website (www.antihate.vic.gov.au) that encourages people to no longer tolerate hate in the community. It offers a place to report your experiences, share good tips on how to fight discrimination and tools to spray out hate online. Performers on the day will liven up the formalities, bringing Couch World to life!”
So after saying that I wouldn’t be posting many more pics of me on the site, I found this one taken of me at a wonderful Junior event.

They are fantastic opportunities to get to know other junior creatives working around Melbourne and be inspired by guest speakers, all while having a beverage and great pub food!

So the illustration work of Polydesign Studio is now available to buy on Red Bubble.com, with more coming soon.
Go! Buy! Hang it on your wall, or wear it on your body or stick it in an unusual place…we’re not judging.

Hi! My name is Caroline and I am an Illustrator, Writer and Graphic Designer. I'm friendly, drink loads of tea and enjoy many different kinds of music. Illustration-wise, I'm inspired by Adrian Tomine and Daniel Clowes. Checking out street style blogs is a must for me, as is swimming and yoga. I was born in Melbourne, Australia, but have also lived in Japan.
