ABOUT STUDIO GRRR
Hiya, we are Glen & Rebecca mischievously-led married couple with a shared love of books, drawing, colour, pattern and stories.
We make Art, Zines, Design Book Covers and Tell Stories.
For thirty years we have been Artists, Designers, Educators, Public Speakers, Creative Nomads and Heritage Crafts People.
Nice to meet you.
We believe creativity has an important role in our society and stories in the form of art, design and writing provide a vital gateway to our continued education and open doors to the imagination of others. At their best stories can challenge the way we view world and creativity gives these crucial ideas form and permanence. For thirty years we have found and lost, read, watched and listened to many fairy tales, folk-stories, discovered ancient symbols and thought about the reality of things (we believe stories are the orienting structures of our lives and language shapes reality).

BLOG AND STORIES
Our Blog is a curated collection of articles, stories, reprints, photographic essays, conversations and inspriation written for the curious minds of analogue people living in a digital world. Through our life’s journey we stumble through layered narratives found in naturally occurring intersections between the metaphysical realm, and terrestrial landscape, collecting spell fragments from a cast of unlikely collaborators.
Angels, demons, gods, ancestors, aliens tell of a bizarre world brimming with legacy broadcast media, music, philosophy, literature, fictional characters, and the simple truth of everyday life and death.
From this confused debris we conjure and construe interconnecting polychromic stories (we think stories and light are the orienting structures of our lives) about art, creative practice, communication theory, how language shapes our reality, mental and physical health, comedy, music, the politics of bullshit and lashings of esoteric flim-flam.
