Folk / Studio Bomba

Extended family.

Let us tell you about a few folks we like to spend time with. They're a merry band of businesses who assist us, inspire us, teach us, support us and even feed us. We'd like to say thanks for the help.

Distracted

Merchants of Fancy

There's this little place down the road. We've been known to pop in occasionally. But just for coffee and jam tarts. Oh - and to purchase curious things we just have to have. Hmmm - and to get our do's done. To buy art for our walls - and to decorate their walls with ours. And to chat to the clever folk who have been bestowing serendipity since 2005 - Natalie and Mark Green. Let's just say we like it at Distracted. Why not pop in and see for yourself?

Little Design Horse

Clever clogs

You couldn't meet anyone more open-hearted and generous and smart and funny than Jane King and Adam Coffey, the design family at Little Design Horse. You might have heard of one or two of the folks they have designed textiles or cards for – Peter Alexander, Roxy, Ripcurl, Bonds, Pumpkin Patch, Mooks, Gap and the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. And they have a brilliant little shop of artworks and clothing and glorious wooden and paper things in North Perth. You should all pop down and see. Off you go now.

Gemma Jones

Inspiration

We've decided that a whole design studio can have a muse and Gemma is ours. She inspires us. We don't know how she can possibly be just one person, given all that she does. Gemma and Bomba's Leah met in days of yore at the Lazy Days Caravan Park in Busselton, became childhood penpals, lost touch for over twenty years, and met again thanks to Outré Gallery in Melbourne. Miss Gemma is crazy-creative and has her fingers in many many pies.

Traffic

Photographic Studio

Rob Simeon is a bundle of niceness wrapped in a photographer. We know that sounds twee, but he just is. And he takes a damn good photograph too. Rob has an uncanny ability to put any subject at ease, even a 92-year-old first time model who was more than just a little bit nervous. By the end of the shoot, she was telling him naughty jokes and demanding tips on how to get her hair as curly as his.

f22

Photographic Studio

Craig Kinder and Emma van Dordrecht are quite the Renaissance couple. Multi-talented photographers, creators of incredible images in almost any genre – food, fashion, editorial. They know how to make Bomba's work look good. And we're particularly in awe of their holidays snaps. Trust us, they're worth a peek. Go look now. Go on, shoo.
