I retouched our Museum of Fleas mascot and beefed up the ground to take him along to the photo shoot for the Fringe Festival launch yesterday. She didn't have a name, so Peter dubbed her Philbert. Older versions of (gender-fluid) Philbert can be found here

And if you're in Sydney keep an eye out for 30000 stickers with this image, as well as posters etc. [Edit: that didn't happen, budgetary constraints. I'm still planning a short run of stickers. But Philbert is on hundreds of UV prints to hang around the show, as well as all over the publicity material]
