Let’s go to the art gallery!

Yesterday I went to the opening of the Departure exhibit at Redland Art Gallery. My friend Kate O’Brien was one of the exhibiting photographers so I had to go check it out and provide moral support! See more photos after the cut…

Werq it out

I was mucking around the other day with cloning myself and here is the result of that. I think we all need to tell ourselves to get out there and werq it at some stage!! What’s funny about this picture? No hair or make up done, and a completely hilarious outfit consisting of things I’d…

I keep moving

Remember that time I was all gung-ho about the Couch to 5k? I remember that time. It didn’t last long. After struggling with finding exercise gear that fit and fearing nasty people yelling things out at me (which totally eventuated), you know what? I stopped doing it. I didn’t like that I stopped running, because…

Could it be a zine update?

You may have noticed that I’ve been super busy and maybe a little bit patchy with the blogging recently but I’m trying not to beat myself up over it. It’s just that things have to give way when stuff is happening, and I have to recognise that I’m not Super Awesome At Being Everything To…

New clobber: let me show you it

There is nothing more thrilling than being roused by the postie making an early morning parcel delivery and then sitting in bed ripping everything open like a 4 year old on Christmas day. Oh wait, there is something more exciting… trying everything on and having it all fit perfectly! It seems like I’ve been waiting…

Five Faves

I’m joining in on the Five Faves bandwagon, as started by the lovely Pip at Meet Me At Mikes. I am tardy, as per usual because I am busy and important (tongue firmly planted in cheek, watch it sprout!) 1. Lady Gaga! She’s challenging and presents thoughtful art to the world. I just like her,…

Organic skin

I’ve had an interest in organic and natural skin care products for a while, but because I have difficult skin it’s been a challenge finding something that alleviates the angry red cystic spots that pop up and fits within my modest artist budget. I’m more than willing to try new things, so when one of…

Outfit of the BBQ

I did something really brave the other day – I wore a sleeveless dress without a shrug or a cardigan. A lot of people think that I would be the last person to have an issue with my body, but that isn’t the case! For years I’ve been bothered by the lack of dresses and…

April is not so cruel after all!

It’s been April for a few days now, and I’m awfully sorry for the tardiness of this month’s desktop but I have been so busy! I will never complain about being busy though because as a freelance artist busy-ness THRILLS me. Choose your resolution, fine folks: 1920×1200 1920×1080 1680×1050 1600×1200 1280×1024 Wallpaper for iPhone (320×480)…

Friday Fance: In the schmick of time

I’m curious to know if “schmick” is a word that lots of people use, or if it’s just common to Brisbane. I call things that are fancy and awesome and good looking “schmick” and all my friends and family get it and use it too. Sometimes I call Nick “Schmick” because well, he is. Recently,…
