I don’t really do Christmas and it’s hard to know what kind of colours will best suit all around the globe for these desktops, but I settled on a lovely turquoise, coral and canvas colour scheme for December’s desktop because it’s one of my favourites. It reminds me of the beach… hot sand, cool water…

Drawing on everyone’s walls.
After all my talk about taking time to do personal work, I’ve not really even had the time to do that. I have done a lot of sketching and doodling throughout the last few months, but in recent weeks my brain has told me to shut down and focus on myself and drawing. Some pretty…
Low brow, low committment.
Every time I drive over the Story Bridge I feel warm and fuzzy. There’s been no time to finish drawings for me :( Except when I get new inks and I spend a bunch of time playing with them! The card I made for my sister’s birthday… I’ve been infected with the hipster isosceles and…
Vitamin D
Nick took me down to the coast today. Snapper Rocks is one of my favourite places although we were technically at Duranbah Beach. Some of the graffiti on the rocks is decades old… it makes me wonder if people like Cheryl and John are the sort who wag their fingers at young kids today and…
Comfort in beauty and memory.
Hello fabulous necklace and attractive person! Ever since I figured out how to design stuff for acrylic I’ve been really interested in what other people have been making with it and I really like this idea of several plates that fit together. I’d love to have access to the kind of equipment that would let…
My Saturday featuring The Finders Keepers market.
Coffee is the best way to get a Natalie to start the day! We had our Saturday morning all planned out, we were going to check out the new Coorparoo Markets and then move on to Finders Keepers but parking at the rejuvenated old Myer Coorparoo building AND breakfast in our tummies were seriously lacking,…
What I wore to the Jucy premiere at BIFF
Last night I went to the premiere of Jucy at the Brisbane International Film Festival, a film made in Brisbane by Brisbane people! It was very special for me because some of my illustrations are in the opening sequence and I also illustrated the cover on a mix cd prop. My name is even in…
Attractive people, fancy headwear and blooming boots.
I always love coming across this photo, Club Allegro Fortissimo by William Klein. From my years of musical training (cough, makes me sound more knowledgeable than I actually am!) I think that translates to Club Fast and Loud, which is badass. I have been busy/ overwhelmed in the past month and haven’t organised another Aquaporko…
Inappropriate Unicorn does Halloween
I was a unicorn. An inappropriate unicorn, drinking wine out of plastic cups and quoting Jay Z lyrics at inopportune times! This was the first time I’ve ever really dressed up for Halloween because it’s not really a thing in Australia, but my friend Heather organised a huge party so I thought I should put…
It’s November and I’m on time!
November is here and I’m already planning for my 30th birthday (in December)! We should be having hot and humid sunny days but recently all we’ve had is storms so the mood for this month’s desktop is a bit thundery. I’m also continuing my fishnet obsession. It’s all I want to draw! Get your resolution…
