I got an email the other day from the National Library of Australia, asking if I would grant a license for my blog to be archived in PANDORA for perpetuity. Not really understanding the awesomeness of this, I turned to Twitter… to find out that this was in fact, a Big Deal. The National Library…

Stones Corner Yarnbombing
Today Nick and I toddled down to Stones Corner to hang out with some friends who were in the area, and I was excited to see that the area had been yarnbombed. I knew there was a yarnbombing event coming up (psst, go here and confirm your attendance!) but I didn’t know that the bombing…
lovedrobe: here to save me from black?
I wear a lot of black because it seems like it’s the only thing I can buy a lot of the time. Imagine my utter delight when I came across lovedrobe – a UK plus size clothing retailer who sell pretty, whimsical, femme garments in a number of lovely pastel colours! Frills, florals and rosettes!…
I drew for Charlie Mayfair
A little while ago I met a couple of lovely ladies from a band called Charlie Mayfair and they asked me to draw some things for their debut EP and a poster for the launch. It was really cool working with them. I’ve never had a client who actually let me indulge so deeply in…
Friday Fance: For rainy days
In my late night internet traversings I came across Miss Platnum, a Romanian-German singer who combines hip hop, R&B and folk music. She is beyond stunning, right? This is part of a installation work by Finnish artist Johnna Pohjalainen. When I first saw this picture I did a double take because the scale confused me…
It’s nice to share
This collection of links I’ve curated is deeply fascinating and dense. You should probably save them for a moment when you’re most lucid and cradling a cup of tea. I’m glad I started posting links to share on this blog, because up until now I didn’t really appreciate the incredible variety of discussions I observe…
The final peek at my Disband work
I’ve already shown you a sneak peek at a paper cut piece for the Disband exhibition (opening Thursday May 27th, 2010 at aMBUSH gallery), but I thought I’d show you some more photos and elaborate a little on how creating this work for Disband has affected me. Each piece is markedly different, however the paisley…
The Australian Fatshionistas
Australian mainstream media is slowly becoming aware that plus size fashion is a hotly discussed topic but it seems they know little of the Aussie fatshionistas writing about plus size fashion on the internet. After seeing Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous on The Morning Show last week I wanted to do a comprehensive list…
It’s nice to share
Look at me, again I’ve really enjoyed reading Hazel Dooney’s blog, and this post in particular hit a nerve with me. On the odd occasion I feel a little shame for being so “out there”, and using the internet to promote myself and my art (also: my politics!) but Ms Dooney reminds me that I…
New City Chic Bourke St store
Last week I posted some photos of the City Chic Bourke Street store under construction, and tonight Hayley told me that the new store has reopened and these photos taken by her are the first peek! The new fit-out makes good use of the tenancy space and I appreciate the spacious layout that solves the…
