Down to a Tea!

“It’s nice to think that someone liked it and wore it for some time and you can pick it up and keep it going... I don’t know if that’s being a hoarder or recycling, whether that’s good or bad – I feel good about it.”

Well, here at Seam Magazine, we feel pretty good about it!

Mural painter, designer and all-round fashionista, Lisa Tea is quickly establishing herself as a seriously sort after artist. Recently graduated from Visual Arts at ANU, Lisa has been an avid mural painter and seamstress from the get-go.

Her colourful and beautifully chaotic work can be found around our lovely nation's capital at public spaces in the CBD, bars and various residential venues. Lisa’s detailed and eclectic style is one to admire, and she says her inspiration and materials can be found almost anywhere.

“I’m a giant hoarder and I have a compulsion to use up all this stuff which I somehow constantly acquire,” Lisa says.

“[I think] I need to simplify, I need to really try to understand the less is more concept.”

Seam Magazine is going on a little trip from today and while organising it has been rather stressful and tiresome, it will mean bringing back lots of amazing stories and great photography for issue one.

Firstly we’re headed to Canberra to meet one very artistic and fashionable lady who’s going to show us around her hometown. Then we’re off to Sydney for some reviews, knitting and seeking out little boutiques to stock Seam’s first issue! Then we pop on over to Melbourne for a not-long-enough stay where we’ll be doing more reviews, interviews with some very interesting fashion peeps, checking out some street art, and more boutiques visiting.

And of course, eating lots of delicious food! If you want us to pop into your shop/gallery/café say hello on our facebook or twitter. À bientôt Brisbane!
