OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Terrible Yellow Eyes

I'm sure everyone reading knows of "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. I personally love the book. The story is brilliant and well written, the illustrations are just superb and the whole structure of the book is genius. I analysed it as part of my honours project and it made me realise just how great a book it is. I'm also looking forward to the movie, if you haven't seen the movie trailer take a gander right here...

To get more of a fix of Wild Things, take a look at this website called "Terrible Yellow Eyes" created by illustrator Cory Godbey. He has invited a number of excellent illustrators to join him in creating artwork inspired by the book. It's still a continuing project so add it to your blog reader and delve into the magical world of the Wild Things, and perhaps join in on a wild rumpus or two!
