A year ago Nick and I got married at Newstead Park! I love looking back at our wedding photos which were shot by Kate. Especially because she got moments like this one – after I stood in dog crap barefoot and Nick cleaned it off for me! Yes there were nicer moments too, but I…

My Talented Friends – part 1
I have a lot of talented friends, and I only realised it when I sat down and thought about writing profiles on all of them to share with you here! I have friends who are photographers, artists, designers, models, performers, publishers, writers, musicians and activists. For most of these guys, I’m lucky to have fallen…
I am the most polite guest ever
I did a guest post on nicolejensen.com, about the Semi-Permanent Brisbane conference. I’ve gone into more detail than I did in my own recap of the event, raving about the good stuff and ranting about, I mean suggesting fixes for some of the bugs. Nicole blogs about event management and other issues within her own…
If I had a cupcake shop…
If I had a cupcake shop, I would have so much fun designing the packaging. Actually, I don’t want to own a cupcake shop really… I just want to design fun stuff. So I guess I’m in the perfect job already. ha! I made some cupcakes for my friend Ellie’s birthday! I think that smug…
Bruises are Semi-Permanent too: the Brisbane conference
Yesterday I attended Semi-Permanent 2009 in Brisbane at the Convention Centre. I left feeling overwhelmed, inspired, intimidated and SORE… my head was so full of ideas that I was a little scared, truth be told. I guess if you are scared of ideas, you shouldn’t go to these things :P The highlights of the day…
Semi-Permanent showbags
Today I volunteered to pack swag for Semi-Permanent, and we were done in super record time. See, we were moving like ninjas, my phone/camera couldn’t catch up :P I was excited to see my drawing in the book! It started raining as I was waiting for Nick to pick me up so my book got…
Doodling in magazines…
I deface my magazines. Yes. I do. I’m not one of those people who keeps a collection of pristine magazines, spines uncracked, ink still smelling… inky and page corners the exact opposite of dog-eared. I admit, this issue of frankie is still current. Tens of… tens on the frankie forum would gasp in horror, but…
Don’t try to pull a comb through paisley and feather hair
I have been doing a lot of commissioned drawings lately, which is awesome! This one is for the lovely Omega and the one below is for Ms Katy. The exhibition opening at KILN was on Friday night, and I still feel terrible about not taking any photos! I was sort of flustered because it was…
Silver chain, leather and buttons.
I have been making jewellery today after stressing that I didn’t have a long silver chain to wear with the dress I bought for tomorrow night’s exhibition opening. The dress I bought was way too expensive (oh, my rant about poor quality and overpriced plus sized fashion is for another day!) and is a paisley…
Me, in a Test Everything production
Hey, it’s one of my drawings in lovingly hand printed zine format! I drew this for Rand’s zine “Everything’s Okay, I Drew This For You”. I knew of Rand through Eat Sleep Draw and added him as a friend of flickr. When I saw he was plotting this zine and asking for submissions I had…
