May is here and with it comes a new wave of cute into Ruck Rover's Mini Art Mart corner courtesy of local designer Lisa Max.

This month Lisa returns with her signature brand of characterful cartoons, hand-painted on to MDF board, they have a charm and certain air of so-wrong-it's-right wit that has us totally won over. Paintings are priced $40-$75.

Take a look too at these super delightful key covers Lisa has designed for us.

Lisa Max Key Caps - $4.50 ea or all three for $12.

Lisa Max returns to Ruck Rover for her third exhibition at Mini Art Mart.

Born in Germany, Lisa attended art school in Austria before heading across the seas to Australia. She settled here for quite some time, but lately she's been feeling the pull of the Continent. Along with her husband Jarrod (a Perth native), Lisa is making the move across the world once more and will head off to Europe later this year. Though they vow to return before too long, this is the last exhibition that we'll see of Lisa's colourful character art on Australian shores for a little while.

The characters of Lisa Max are filled with wonder and excitement. This year they reside on a single item, a used surfboard, where four of loveable chaps have climbed atop one another creating a tower of delight.


Ruck Rover also sells Lisa Max' brilliant Booze Brothers - a set of two stubby holders decorated in her signature style - as well as irresistible, illustrated cushions.

Lisa Max returns to Mini Art Mart in August 2011 with an exhibition entitled 5 Seasons.

$40

Lisa Max is a recent import from Germany, shipped to Perth via Vienna, Austria, where a Fine Arts degree was added to the finished product. She is now feeling very much at home among the local arts and crafts.

Her “5 Seasons” series is an experiment in saving several weeks worth of doodles made during downtime at work and transferring some of them onto MDF boards rather than into the bin! She has decided she will do this more often.

$50

Check out this awesomeness! June brings the fabulous work of Lisa Max to Mini Art Mart.

Lisa is a German engineered manufacturer of little handmade things. After completing a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria she moved to Perth, where she developed a taste for arts & crafts. She recently married a bear native to Western Australia and now lives in Perth on a permanent basis. (She still likes beer and soccer but thinks that Australia smells better.)
