On Saturday I went to the Equal Love rally to march in support of same-sex marriage. I went to support this key human right for all people, even though I am privileged insofar that my relationship is legally recorded as a marriage. The government and religion should have little to do with each other, and…

The Illustrators at KILN – starts this Friday night!
I just picked up three of my beautifully framed pieces from Bizarre Framing and dropped them into KILN Gallery for The Illustrators show, a group exhibition I’m so chuffed to be part of. I saw Nigel Buchanan‘s gorgeous giclee prints lined up against the wall, and said hello to Shaun Campbell and his fancy car…
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…
My photos from Connect Four: Play
Last night I spent about three hours drawing at this table with the lovely Anna, Shannon and Renee at Connect Four: Play. Anna was writing haikus; Shannon and Renee were doing incredible portraits for people; and I was doodling on brown paper bags! Donations for the drawings and haikus and proceeds from the event went…
Works on Paper at KILN – my first ever exhibition!
So, I am “debuting” at the Works on Paper exhibition at KILN on April 3. I am very excited, almost embarrassingly excited, but at least my enthusiasm falls short of pants-peeingly-excited. I wish I could get the hang of that cool nonchalance that artists are supposed to exhibit! I am showing alongside some wonderful artists.…
Come see me at Connect Four: Play
On March 28 I’ll be one of the “artists on demand” at the Connect Four art party in the Valley. From 8 – 10pm I’ll be doodling for donations for Backbone Youth Arts, and you can also see some of my drawings in the multimedia art gallery. RSVP at the facebook event page if you’re…
Brisbane Twestival, why you should come
I’m proud and happy to support and contribute to the Brisbane Twestival, part of the worldwide Twestival celebrations raising money for charity: water. It’s being put on by twitter users all around the world, with a budget of approximately $0, sponsored by a bunch of awesome websites and businesses. I drew up this piece especially…
Talk Like a Pirate Day + Dr Sketchy’s = Fab-o Time for All
Just a reminder about the next Dr Sketchy’s in Brisbane on September 19. It also, strangely enough, falls on “Talk Like a Pirate Day“, which I suspect may not have been a coincidence being that Ms Omega is a swashbuckling lassie from way back! Miss Kittie Conquest will be the model for the night at…
Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art Class – Brisvegas Stylin’
Last night was the inaugural session of Dr Sketchy’s Anti-Art Class in Brisbane, organised and hosted by the wonderful Omega, one of my very own pals! I’ve longed to attend a Dr Sketchy’s class ever since Molly Crabapple started the first one in New York in 2005 so I was chuffed when Omega announced that…
