24.01.2022 Making a watercolour chart to see what each colour looks like on paper. It makes painting life so much easier!

24.01.2022 What a fun day spent with childrens authors at Samson House in Fremantle, for Rock and Read held by The National Trust of Western Australia. Mylittlebookshop_ was there too for the caravan bookshop debut

23.01.2022 Let me introduce myself... Im Mara Korstanje Snape, a graphic designer, wife, mum, and aspiring childrens book writer & illustrator. To get to know me better, read my story below.

22.01.2022 Dont you just love #libraries I cant express my appreciation and gratitude enough. #loveyourlibrary

21.01.2022 As an aspiring childrens book author & illustrator I was really excited to attend last nights #bookweek talk from Norman Jorgensen - Author and Jan Nicholls at #ahbrackslibrary They filled my brain with very useful information about everything that is childrens literature. Just what I needed as Im getting ready to submit my manuscript. #nervesarekickingin

21.01.2022 New illustration work up on the website! https://paperwhale.com.au//white-fox-memory-books-my-chil/ This exciting new project for White Fox Memory Books has kept me busy doing what I love most; drawing and designing for children! The 'My Childhood Memory Book’ has been designed to capture all the big and small moments of children’s lives and creates a wonderful keepsake for parents and their children to look back on in years to come.... Designed to be coloured in, so parents can sit down with their child and do this together as a fun activity. For more information and to purchase the 'My Childhood Memory Book’ please visit whitefoxmemorybooks.com.au/products/my-childhood-memory-book

21.01.2022 A big congratulations to the guys at Spinifex Brewing Co for launching their #craftbeer infused with sustainable native ingredients on Saturday. And for launching #f88lager Australias first military beer with 50% of profits going to veterans charities. Thanks for having me work on this great project! Its always a little magical for a graphic designer to see their designs come to life and out in the real world.

20.01.2022 The rough storyboard for my childrens book is coming along. I find that most of the ideas for this book come to me as Im trying to go to sleep, so I have a notepad on my bedside table to write down all these ideas. Im sure I would have forgotten some by morning otherwise!

20.01.2022 Spots in progress for my childrens book. So many colours, so many spots! #playingaround

18.01.2022 Myrtle Summer Ale labels being printed for Spinifex Brewing Co. Its so exciting to see it all come together! Ive had the privilege to taste one of these and its light, fresh and delicious, perfect for a hot summer day!

18.01.2022 I am so lucky to be able to work with so many delightful clients! And they write such lovely and humbling things about me Are you in need of a go-to lady? Say hello, Id love to hear from you!

17.01.2022 This little guy will be coming soon!!

17.01.2022 Drastic times call for drastic measures. Like turning your brewery into a hand sanitiser production facility like the guys at Spinifex Brewing Co have done. Stop the spread with Spinifex protect! Label design by yours truly with watercolour art made by Emily Joan Gibbs.

16.01.2022 NEWSFLASH! Paper Whale is expanding into interior design, so I took my assistant shopping for blue armchairs for our first interior design client. He seems to think this makes an excellent reading chair.

16.01.2022 Completely in my element with some pens and paper. Working on a new very exciting project. Watch this space!

15.01.2022 The full Spinifex Brewing Co range! A collection of deliciousness

15.01.2022 Another full day of drawing! Any minute now my hands will turn into pens

14.01.2022 Getting ready for the #greatbigbookread2019 and #fogartyliteraryaward announcement organised by Fremantle Press

12.01.2022 Dont underestimate an inside cover! Im guilty of judging books by their cover and maybe even more so their inside cover. I love how it gives a little peek of the story and style of illustration without using any words. My book in the making is having some colourful spots for the inside cover.

12.01.2022 A little sneak preview of some of my latest graphic design work for Spinifex Brewing Co. Their Wattle Amber Ale is one of three beers to be released next month. Fun fact: its made in Western Australia with sustainable native ingredients supporting Aboriginal owned native food producers.

11.01.2022 Spinifex table talkers, coming soon to a tap venue near you!

10.01.2022 Introducing Baby Whale! (We call him William) Becoming a mum meant finding a new balance between Paper Whale and looking after a tiny human being. As a WAHM (Working At Home Mum) Im able to do something that I love and earn an income while giving me the flexibility to be available for my child. (Clearly, work slows down with a toddler around, so William is in care on the days I work, or Ill get a little bit done when hes asleep.) Juggle, juggle, juggle!

10.01.2022 Tonight Ive put my favourite #rollie shoes on to go out for dinner in the city with my husband for some quality time. Jared is doing a Masters degree at the moment and with me working on Paper Whale we find ourselves in seperate home offices many evenings after William has gone to bed. As a #wahm (working at home mum) life gets so busy trying to balance it all, that romance can be at the bottom of the priority list. Not tonight though! And a big thank you to the grandparents for babysitting!

09.01.2022 This is going to be epic! Designing the flyer certainly was. Hope to see you there on the day

09.01.2022 BIG Seesaw Magazine poster out in the wild! Still gives me butterflies every time.

09.01.2022 Well done Spinifex Brewing Co!

08.01.2022 New work online! An infographic Poster for VisAbility I did recently. Infographics are so much fun and this organisation does great things!

08.01.2022 I was a total groupie at last nights event So you want to be an author? hosted by Fremantle Press at A.H. Bracks Library last night. Such a great and educative event! Thanks for the inspiring talk #fremantlepress and Deb Fitzpatrick - writer ! #learning

07.01.2022 My first blog or thoughts as I like to call them is up! "Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be." This is exactly what Ive done since my work-life balance shifted after becoming a mum.

06.01.2022 Another step closer to hopefully fulfilling my dream of becoming a childrens book author and illustrator. After developing and polishing the manuscript as much as I can, its time to send this baby out into the world. #YouHaveToRiskItForTheBiscuit #WowThatsALongHashtag

04.01.2022 If you wish to be a writer... well you have to actually write! Exactly what Im doing today, all day! #aspiringchildrensbookauthor #writing

04.01.2022 A big well done to Minchkins for printing these beautiful uniforms for Little Grubbs Orchard who are opening next week! I really feel butterflies inside when I see the logos Ive designed out there in the real world!

03.01.2022 New work up on the website! The past few months I have been working hard on designing the packaging for Perths up and coming brewery Spinifex Brewing Co. They are currently rolling out their delicious range of beers that have been infused with Australian native ingredients. I look forward to continuing to work on this project as they add new flavours to their range. Stay tuned everyone!

02.01.2022 New work on the website! This was such a great project to work on with a lovely client whos trying to make the world a better place for children on the autism spectrum and their families.

02.01.2022 New thoughts on the Paper Whale blog. If youre currently starting your own business, these questions will help you prepare for when you meet your logo designer.

01.01.2022 Spotted Paper Whale branding for Spinifex Brewing Co in the wild #spinifexprotect #helpstopthespread

01.01.2022 So excited for these guys! Looking forward to their launch in a few weeks!

01.01.2022 Back when the Perth arts were still in full swing I had the pleasure to design the Play Book for Perth Festival. A way for students to continue their engagement with the arts beyond attending a performance or an event. Hopefully we all get to enjoy everything Perth has to offer soon!

01.01.2022 Hot off the press!
