INTRODUCING ROBYN TAYLOR
February 23, 2012It’s exciting to get something from overseas and it’s exciting to send something overseas, however it can get expensive sending handwritten notes and Vegemite jars to foreign lands on a regular basis. And so that’s why the internet was created. Not really, but it’s much nicer to think that it was created as a way to minimise postage costs for pen pals, rather than to make porn more accessible to the teenagers of the world. Whatever the reason, without that little handy thing called an email account, we would not be able to deliver to you Robyn Taylor’s amazing drawings today, for they come to us from a land far, far away, also known as England.

ENCLOSED
February 20, 2012Boys and A Week In Submission are like coco pops and birthdays, you only get them on special occasions. If you were a child that had the privilege of chocolate flavoured cereal all year round, well then I don't want to know you. You see, the fellas rarely grace A Week In Submission, but when they do they make it pretty special. Of course, such specialty would not be possible without the talent that is seventeen year old, Olivia Naumov. With just over a year's experience, Olivia is producing photos far beyond her years and we are thrilled to be sharing them with you.

THE GARDEN OF JAALA
February 13, 2012Flowers usually go down a treat on the 14th, but then they die. When they die, it's like you never gave a gift at all. You'll become the worst person in the world. Ever. It's like you just don't care, you don't want to make the effort, you don't even try. What you need to do is plant a garden instead. Easy done. It will last longer than a week and when it dies it will be the other person's fault because they weren't looking after it properly. They didn't care, didn't want to make the effort, didn't even try. Huzzah! Just make sure that when you make your pretty garden beds they look as beautiful as the ones featured in Sophie Miscamble's photos. Then ask Sophie to come over and take photos so you can remind your partner of what they killed. As you can see below, Sophie takes amazing photos, so they'll feel really bad. Or you could buy them chocolates, up to you really.

INTRODUCING SARAH HANKINSON
February 9, 2012Drawing people is hard. Really hard. Have you ever attempted to draw a hand? That's not a fun task. It's so frustrating and eventually after rubbing out what can only be described as a squid-fish-esque-palm you decide that your people drawings really like gloves. Even if you have a blistering sun in your picture, your people are still wearing gloves - mittens to be exact. Sarah Hankinson, however, doesn't seem to have a problem when it comes to recreating extremities, in fact Sarah Hankinson has the ability to draw people in a flawless fashion. Yes, she draws models, but they too have hands. It's not easy, okay, maybe it is for her.

GARDEN STATE
February 6, 2012Garden State has won the hearts of many, but if you have a moment to peruse the world wide web, you will find a few people were left far from impressed: ‘As the plot line developed, I found myself feeling more and more sedated. Brain cells committed suicide. Feet fell asleep. Medication sounded like a good idea.’ Haters gonna hate. But a lot of good has come out of Garden State, there’s the soundtrack – obviously, but there’s also one scene that inspired the creation of today’s submission. We think it looks pretty rad, and so we thank you Zach Braff, despite all the other stuff, we thank you for this.

INTRODUCING MATILDA INNES
February 2, 2012You know the good thing about maths, and believe me there's very little, is that by studying maths countless minds across the globe come to the realisation that they're not good at it. Forcing their attention away from a textbook of foreign sums into a world of doodling - Matilda Innes is one of those doodlers. Now lots of people can draw swirls inside a margin, but that doesn't make them funny, that doesn't mean that they're going to be good at puns. Matilda Innes squiggles make us giggle, and because she's mastered the art of puns we love her all the more. We're Innes-pired. Sorry. We'll stop there.

CALL ME QUAINT
January 30, 2012Parents are alright. The whole supporting us while we establish our 'creative' career is pretty sweet. They can however be a little unreasonable. One's presence at the dinner table becomes as significant as one's decision surrounding organ donation - don't even think about responding with 'not sure, don't worry'. Mothers don't like that, for as they will yell at you 'that's not an answer!' So our advice to Bekha and Jess, who are self proclaimed moochers, is this: enjoy the feed, it's not going to last, and if plans arise, give your parents 48 hours notice. Because soon you'll be paying rent, soon you'll be eating crap and soon you'll be so poor and so hungry that your mood will inevitably become so hostile that no one will want to talk to you. You'll long for the days when 'are you home for dinner?' entered your ears, and you'll wish you could just take pretty pictures like the ones below without worrying about whether or not you were going to eat that night. Live the dream while you can.

INTRODUCING STEPHANIE VAN BEERS
January 26, 2012Drawing is so much fun when you're a kid. But then you grow up and realise your scribbles aren't as shit-hot as you thought. Blame your parents. They're the ones that fill your head with false hope: 'Wow! Darling, these are just amazing. You're going to be a famous artist some day.' Bullshit. I really don't know how they sleep at night. First the fictitious tales about the fat man in the red suit and now this. But of course there's always the few that can actually recreate The Lion King cover without the aid of tracing paper. Showoffs. And judging by what Stephanie Van Beers mustered up for us today, and the fact that she's been drawing since she was 3, we figure she was one of those kids.

AIR
January 23, 2012Quite a few of us partake in some sort of photography training during our high school days. Taking photos of our friends, what could be better? They didn't tell us we had to write about it. They didn't tell us how potent the developing chemicals would be. They didn't tell us how expensive the photographic paper was and how useless it became after you exposed it to the sun - okay, maybe they warned us about that one. Whatever the case, photography is a lot harder than it sounds, hence the plethora of apps that make it easy as pie to take a decent snap. You're fooling no one. Without Instagram you'd be nothing. That's why very few of us actually carry on with the 'skills' acquired during 'Studio Arts' (as some schools so pretentiously put it). Fortunately, Bonnie Hansen kept at it, and today we're lucky enough to share some of her beautiful work.

INTRODUCING ALEXIS WINTER
January 19, 2012Alexis Winter is a catch. Her creations are nothing short of awe inspiring - transporting you into a world usually only accessible through a cocktail of illicit treats. Quite simply, her work is rad. And as you will read below, her talent is not confined to the playful improvisation of a pen - she can string words together too. She's funny, probably funnier than you, definitely funnier than us. Again, Alexis Winter is a catch. So we've taken a moment to wipe the drool from our chins and share with you what we consider to be some of the finest work ever to grace our site.
