Celebrations! The children’s novel ‘Circus Girl’ illustrated by Pounce for Pearson Australia was awarded a ‘High Commendation’ at this year’s Australian Publishing Association Awards in the category of ‘The Best Designed Primary Education Book 2011’.

If you like pretty pictures, a good read and knowing what’s going down before it goes annoyingly viral, then try Harxest. Harxest is an online magazine which gives insight into the industries of art/design, fashion, culture, style icons & media. Designed in collaboration with Harxest and web development by Pounce, the site officially launched on the 30th of April 2011. With style and creativity to match the clever bunch of global buddies that make up Team Harxest, we’re looking forward to seeing Harxest go viral . . . in a good way.

Pounce has recently had the joy of working with Snaggle, a new service which helps small businesses gain marketing exposure, previously only accessible to large companies with fat wallets! While the service is still under development, Pounce has just completed a set of corporate illustrations for Snaggle, including 3 company mascots. Stay tuned to see more Snaggle material including a very in-depth website.
