Australian Animal Cartoons with Aussie Attitude

I created this series of Aussie cartoon characters to be used for a range of merchandise for the Australian tourist market. This range called, Aussie Attitudes, was picked up and distributed by True Blue Gallery, 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 products have been a real hit with kids and adults alike and further production could be in the wind for the future.
