• I’m not sure how I came across The Chintz of Darkness but they post some incredible photographs and illustrations, and have a very funny blog name. If you like ye olde home decor and curious knick knacks and whatsits, you’ll love this blog. • I really like the hair styling on Zac Posen‘s fall…
Indubitably, sir.
I’ve been wanting to start experimenting with using wood as a support, and I bought a big piece of plywood from Bunnings weeks ago but hadn’t had the time to cut it up or paint any of my ideas for personal work. This week I’ve decided is my week; on Monday I got electrocuted by…
Let’s Thrill Brisbane
I was watching the triple j hottest 100 of all time on rage just before, and Thriller came on. You know I’m a massive Michael Jackson fan, and they played the WHOLE mini movie from beginning to credits! When I was a kid I would try to dance along to it, but it’s pretty intense…
Fanciful Friday
Surprise! It’s Friday! I really have no idea where my week went, but I suspect you’ll find it under a pile of eraser leavings and pencil shavings. I keep a tin full of them, I’m not even kidding. As for the picture, I wanted to share just how fancy I am. Even when brushing one’s…
Yoko Ono’s Smiling Face Film
My husband and I seem to disagree when it comes to Yoko Ono: I think she is wonderful and I admire her work as an artist but Nick being the avid Beatles fan thinks she split up the band (yada yada ya whatever). When I saw the the SMILING FACE FILM by Yoko Ono group…
Equal Love: I support same-sex marriage
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…
Fanciful Friday
• Yes, I was so impressed with August’s desktop that I decided to adapt it for my Twitter background. “That fancy lady” indeed, have I ever left you with any doubt?! • I found this on Tumblr (can someone tell me how I can post my animated gifs to Tumblr successfully?!) and was struck by…
August desktop – enabling obsessive icon sorting since January ’09
For this month’s wallpaper I listened to the people, namely Mem, who asked for the little sections back so they can compulsively sort their icons. I admit I hadn’t been doing it because I completely forgot – one month I totally left out the calendar too! If you can forgive me for being forgetful, I…
New portfolio and a feature on Forth Thread!
Finally, my new portfolio site is up at natalieperkins.com! Nick and I have been really busy this year with various things and a sad casualty was my portfolio site. It was taking so long that one day I decided I wanted to redesign it entirely, and I came up with the white layout. I didn’t…
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…
