Monday Bunday: Ground Cafe

Melissa Pierce’s Behance portfolio caught my eye recently, particularly this project for Ground in Queensland, Australia. You can see this project and more of Melissa’s work on her Behance portfolio here: www.behance.net/melissaleepierce Ground Organics is a cafe serving organic food and coffee. I love this sweet watercolour rabbit and the photography is lovely too. Their Facebook cover photo is pretty cute too…

Tofu Tuesday: First Raspberry

Published by

We received a wonderfully summery bounty from The Honesty Box this week. Strawberries, raspberries, avocados, plums, nectarines, peaches, cherry tomatoes and more. Tofu the bunny had never met a raspberry before so I figured it was time. I thought that it would be love at first sniff but he wouldn’t even give it a lick. OK little bunny. Suit yourself. I’ll just leave it here in case you change your mind. When I checked on the raspberry a few hours later, it had vanished. *Please note, raspberry is a very occasional treat for rabbits…Maybe once in a lifetime.

Monday Bunday: Much Loved

Published by

Much Loved, photographed by Mark Nixon, is a book that features stuffed animals that have been worn to bits by their owners. Mostly teddy bears loved so fiercely that I would hand over my purse if I met them in a dark alley. There are also a few rabbit in there. I wasn’t a stuffed animal kind of child. I kept no soft friend of fuzzy demeanor to whisper secrets to or cling to in adversity. See more over here: http://marknixon.com/muchloved/1/

Monday Bunday: Wild Side Cider

Published by

This bunny illustration for Wild Side Cider (Strawberry and Lime)  is by Auckland-based illustrator Galima Akhmetzyanova for creative agency BARNES, CATMUR & FRIENDS. In this series there are other flavours with their own creatures but I bet the bunny labelled strawberry and lime cider tastes the best. You can see more of Galima’s work at her Behance page here or her Cargo Collective page here. “The rugged landscape of Central Otago makes it the perfect breeding ground for all sorts of wild fruit. Unfortunately it’s also a breeding ground for wild rabbits, and if there’s one thing that breeds like rabbits, it’s rabbits. Famous for terrorising motorists and annoying farmers, they’re also keen strawberry pickers. We are too, so we put them in our cider.”

Tofu Tuesday: Tofu and Cream

Published by

Meet Cream the bunny. Cream is moving from New Zealand to Japan today and we wish him and his family a safe journey. Last weekend, Cream and his owner, Yoshi came for a play date to meet Tofu and to say goodbye. The Koala and I met Yoshi through The Japanese Art Festival which he runs. Over the years we have become friends, first exhibiting our work and more recently, helping with the design, promotion and running of the event. The Japanese Festival will be sadly missed as Yoshi and family move back to Japan. Tofu hasn’t seen a bunny in about 5 years so this was a very special visit. Tofu was the dominant one but Cream had his sight and therefore the upper hand. Cream also showed us a few binkys (random twisting rabbit jumps) to say he was quite pleased. The bunnies were  curious of each other and Tofu took his time carefully examining Cream’s carry case while Cream explored our house. The Koala even got to hold both bunnies at once. …

Tofu says freedom (is overrated)

Tofu the bunny has free reign of our backyard, but the front yard isn’t fenced and is relatively unchartered territory. He has escaped on few occasions, but not since he became blind. I let Tofu roam on his own while keeping a close eye on him. He had a sniff and a nibble around the front steps but decided on his own that he wouldn’t make a run for it and ended up taking himself back inside.
