A new creative venture is shining a spotlight on Sydney’s suburbs – starting with two local favourites.
Local Lines, a female-founded initiative, has launched its debut collection of hand-illustrated colouring books, with special editions dedicated to Penrith, Blacktown & Greater West and Parramatta & the Western Suburbs.
Lovingly crafted by locals who live in and love these neighbourhoods, the colouring books are a nostalgic, screen-free way for kids and grown-ups alike to explore their own backyards through art. From local landmarks to everyday street scenes, each page captures the spirit of the west with playful, detailed illustrations.
Emma, the founder of Local Lines and born and raised in the western suburbs, was inspired by a desire to celebrate the places we live while creating something meaningful, nostalgic, and fun.
“We wanted to make something that feels personal. Every page is a window into the spirit of a suburb,” she said.
Whether it’s a gift for a curious child or a keepsake for proud locals, Local Lines is a heartfelt tribute to the places we belong. Books are available for $14.99 at http://www.locallines.com.au.
