    Yay!! My baby is on modblog.

    It’s a lovely piece, very well executed. We designed it together in a hotel during our melbourne tour.

    Anyone notice the CBB hidden up the top there too? 😉

    Dan: there are a number of awesome shops in Melb, great artists and great pubs too. Tim is an awesome guy too, fantastic work.
