The Soul Creative

This personal illustration came up from an affirmation I had written in my journal. It said: “I’ve got this! Life has my back”. And it’s so true. I have faith in everything working out the way it’s meant to. With the waves of life, everything falls into place and there is always a silver lining/good around the corner. Have faith the universe has a plan for you and that all will work out ❤️

This happy little guy is part of a van life design I created and I loved him so much I wanted to create a separate design with his face on its own. I think he's pretty rad.

Heliotropism meaning the movement of plants and animals towards the sun. For all of the sun worshippers out there ☼

Illustration inspired and conjured up at a retreat called The Sanctuary in Koh Phangan, Thailand 🏝 inspired by a tattoo parlour in Ko Tao 🏝

Drawing shakas in Bali. Inspired by the ‘bagus’ (good) lifestyle there.

Mindfulness is a journey ☯︎ There’s so much to learn in this lifetime and so much growth in all areas of life. A constant balancing act and a journey ☯︎

Ideas swim through your mind like fish 🐟

Being kind and bringing peace to the world is more important than ever right now. This was a sketch I drew in Bali and I decided to bring it to life with some colour.

A simple word with so much power. Pleasure being sex, enjoying a glass of wine or dark chocolate, feeling the sun on your face or stopping to smell the roses. Life is fleeting, let go and lean in. Note the 'please', 'sure'.

Taken from my 'The all seeing eye' design. I like this on it's own 👁

Initially designed as a Christmas card. Representing the sunny Christmas we have in NZ. For anyone who loves summer and Christmas. The two make a great team ❤️

Doors lead to all sorts of opportunities and experiences, when one door closes another door opens. I’ve always found myself exploring and off the beaten track or seeing a path leading somewhere and having a look to see where it goes, and through those decisions discovering some pretty cool things. Explore, open your mind and you will see.

The sun is shining and the pineapples are sweet! Inspired by Byron Bay, tropical paradise 🌴🍍🕶🌞🌊

We are one and we all support and can’t do without each other. Mankind is at the base holding everything up, It all comes down to us as to how we treat the earth and it’s inhabitants 🌱

New Years Eve 2020 at ‘Plum Bach’ in Leigh, New Zealand., jungle themed. Inspired by my vivacious friend Hollie and the message to stay wild and free.

Inspired by Whale Bay, Northland, New Zealand and an illustration for Valentines Day, hence the red hair. Hello lovers.

Inspired by my move to Melbourne in 2013, all the sights I saw, taking in everything with fresh eyes. Inspired by Melbourne city and St Kilda. There's a lot of energy in this one!

Dreaming of salty destinations...🐚🌴 Illustration of a photo I took in Byron Bay. If I can’t be there in person I will live vicariously through recreating it 🖊

A mixture of inspiration from a Mako Road album cover and a photo of Travis Rice in Russia. The result is something unique in itself but the process of where the inspiration comes from to the final outcome is a passionate one ⚡️

Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed or life’s getting too busy and I make time to ‘do what’s good for the soul’ like spending time at the beach being present, I feel amazing and bought down to a calm earth again. It’s so important and something to consciously make time for all the time. Work hard, chill hard and make time for that soul goodness 🙏🏻

No matter what your situation is, what the weather is like, who you are around, or where you physically are, you can always create some sunshine for yourself. Creating that consciously and internally 🔆

EVERYTHING IS BETTER WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING 🌞 Literally that feeling of happiness and the sunshine state of mind.

Life is your own unique perspective and is entirely what you make of it. It’s a completely individual experience and you have the power to change your thoughts on things. I hope this quote speaks to you in a way that you see fit 💜

EVERYTHING IS BETTER WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING 🌞 Literally that feeling of happiness and the sunshine state of mind.

One of my more simple but inspired sketches vectorised. This one was inspired by my first trip to the South Island of New Zealand. What I wanted to inspire here is that the world is a beautiful place and it’s right here for us to explore. Explore your own backyard and take it all in. I also wanted to inspire people who may be struggling just to know that through all the hardship there is so much to see and appreciate in this life, even if that just means exploring somewhere a drive away or what’s in your own backyard.

This word popped into my mind the last time we went through lockdown and I visualised and sketched the word with flowers sprouting out. It came to mind again just recently when I decided to create it in the digital form. Words are so powerful and this is one to repeat. While we are in lockdown again, I’ll try to use any downtime as a space to thrive and focus on things I wouldn’t normally have the time to do. Sometimes it takes some quietness and simplicity of life to thrive 🤘🏻🌻🤘🏻

I saw this quote on the back of a car and it made me smile 😊 and I instantly felt inspired to create something. Spreading the good vibes

Snakes represent rebirth/renewal of life, transformation, healing and increased energy⚡️🐍⚡️
