How to protect your home from bushfires

Out in the blue mountains, bushfires are a frequent and dangerous threat to homes. There are a number of regulations you must comply with to build a home out there. This interactive lists the rules while the backdrop is this monstrously safe house built with uncountable costs. It's still cheaper than being in the city.

Super Sarnie

that's right, 'sarnie' means sandwich. and we wanted to talk about some tips from the restaurants who make the best sandwiches in sydney. i got to make an illustration that showed up on print and then adapted it for online. if you click on the sandwich, it will explode with good advice.

the final tweets of cecil the lion

it was an in the moment kind of thing. a journalist wrote a bunch of fake lion tweets - unlike all the real lion tweets. i styled our own article page to look like twitter posts. i liked it because of the surprised lion king graphic. the whole cecil issue was pretty frustrating otherwise.
