I have been lax in the outfit-photo-taking department lately, and I have a bunch of things to show you but I just haven’t gotten around to pestering my husband to take photos. This week I got two OOTD shots, horah! They aren’t anything especially fancy, but I offer these to you in the spirit of…

My, how far we have come
I hope desktop number 12 finds you well, it’s the culmination of a whole year in my creative practice and a milestone of commitment for me. At the beginning of the year I had the idea to do monthly desktops on a whim but I’m really proud of myself for sticking with it because I…
Friday Fance: Shiny things
I very nearly didn’t submit my report today because I just didn’t feel like it. Instead, I put on some music and squeezed out some fance! ⇒ Incredible needlework by benjibot, asking all the hard questions. Who DID die and make you Mr. Fancy? Hmmm? ⇒ For a while I was completely obsessed with the…
Red ribbons
My friend Kathleen wrote a tweet about forgetting things and tying red string around her fingers, and it inspired this image. There are so many things you have to do to remain a lady, sometimes you can tie yourself up in remembering it all. This piece is for sale, if you’re interested in buying it…
International Superheroes make a book!
When Damien asked me to draw some lettering for the cover of the International Superheroes of Drawing, Illustration and World Domination book I was totally flat out but I really wanted to do it. I met quite a few awesome people, like Damien, on Red Bubble (where the International Superheroes HQ is) and I wanted…
Once Upon an Art Show in Sydney
Once Upon launched last Thursday night, and by all reports it was a fantastic night in Sydney. I wish I had the cash for plane tickets down for the last week, because Happenstance were launching their second issue (which I’m in!) as well! One of my pieces sold, but the other three are still for…
My Collection
I keep forgetting to do the My Place and Yours theme! This week’s is My Collection, set by Fox’s Lane. I have collections of a few little things: pens, pencils, doilies but nothing big. They’re all useful things too. The biggest collection I have is buttons… just random buttons. Pearl buttons, shirt buttons, spare buttons,…
Totes houseproud
The weekend means mystery flowers from the market! The sign in the bucket said “Lizzies $5 or 3 for $10”, so I bought three for a very plump looking arrangement. I did a bit of a google for Lizzy/ Lizzie flowers but the image search results turned up some flowers that didn’t look like these…
New Work
I am drawing my arm off lately for lots of people, but the other day I had a day to do something for me. This piece is bigger than I usually draw, but as a result I can’t scan it without doing bits and stitching them all together. I don’t have the time or patience…
Friday Fance: The Fancening.
⇒ Charlotte Gainsbourg in Vogue Paris – so lovely! ⇒ Rebecca Wetzler‘s illustrations for Bloom combine ink and watercolour, two of my favourite things! ⇒ Bugs and Fishes makes some really adorable felt objects, and she often writes up tutorials on how to make things like these lavendar teabags. Cute! ⇒ I would love to…
