Aussie Attitudes

I originally created this series of cute Australian animal characters to be used for a range of merchandise for the Australian tourist market.  Aussie Attitudes was picked up and distributed by True Blue Australia, a company that specializes in postcards and souvenirs for the tourism market.
To date, this has been a very successful range with over 16 000 postcards produced and a large variety of fridge magnets, key rings, mouse pads, can coolers and posters. These Australian cartoon characters have been a real hit with both kids and adults.  I hope to expand this concept further in the future with story books featuring these cute Aussie characters.
