Australians always make fun of New Zealanders which isn't really fair because when they're not migrating to our fair land they're busy being a pretty talented bunch.
Kelly Thompson is one of the talented ones – almost greedily so – with amazing gifts for photography and illustration. Thompson's illustrations are often earthy, feminine and bolshy and she has worked with clients like Wooden Toy, Mimco, Curvy and Semi-Permanent.
If you're in Melbourne you can see some of Thompson's cute-sexy bookish types at
Bookworms Never Go To Bed Alone exhibition at Gorker Gallery, Fitzroy. Opening night is Thursday 2nd July.
