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 🏝

Enjoy the balance and nature good vibes

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 🌴🍍🕶🌞🌊

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!

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 ⚡️

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 💜

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

Bright bold and in your face, one of my older illustrations, initially designed for a competition 🖐🏻

I like to share the good vibes but this was an illustration I did for a competition and I still love it.

This one talks about the chemical age we live in, whether it's popping pills to treat the symptom rather than treating the real issue or popping recreational ones for a good time. We all pop those pills.

Painting depicting the inner turmoil or rage that we may release or may need to.
