Today I put some of my work up at Urban Grind in New Farm. Urban Grind are wonderful about supporting local artists and connecting with the community, and I’m really appreciative that Morgan let me put my work up! Today is World Mental Health Day, and the theme this year is: Making mental health a…

I love typography
I bought some books from Book Depository the other week and two of them were typography related, Mike Perry’s Hand Job and The Handy Book of Artistic Printing. I really relish these books because I don’t often by them for myself, and I’d been eying them for a while! As a result, all I can…
Might I ask a favour?
You might remember this from when I wrote about entering this piece in the Red Bubble/ Stefen Sagmeister collaboration; it’s open for voting now and if it’s not too out of your way, I would love you to vote for me! Thank you!
Fanciful Friday: What I wore today edition
Gemma Correll started the “What I Wore Today” flickr group for people who love drawing and don’t really like posting photos of themselves to the internet. I think it’s such an awesome idea, even though you know I’m not shy about posting photos of myself!! Today’s Fanciful Friday is all about illustration, and how people…
Doodlin’ on faces and such
Last year I was bored at my mother’s and decided to deface my British Vogue. It’s funny how sometimes you can pinpoint a change in momentum… I thought I was so clever to have created a paisley/ doodle mask that I moblogged the drawing (then later scanned it, above). Since that day I’ve been way…
Brisbane Twestival!
Tomorrow night the Brisbane Twestival will be held at Joshua Levi Galleries and I’ve donated this mysterious package to be auctioned off, with proceeds from the auction (and indeed the whole night) going to the Inspire Foundation. The Inspire Foundation was established in 1996 in direct response to Australia’s then escalating rates of youth suicide.…
Happy?
Red Bubble are collaborating with Stefen Sagmeister on the Happy project, and I submitted this piece (called “five“) to the contest. Basically we were asked to rate ourselves on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being depressed and 10 being elated, and submit a piece based on a template for inclusion in Sagmeister’s “Happy Film”.…
Ah September, just in time…
September is a month I always seem to look forward to, and not for any particular reason… it’s just that the weather is nice, friends have lovely social gatherings, people sing songs about September and it’s all just rather agreeable, really! To download one of these wallpapers, click the link to go to the flickr…
Fanciful Friday
I have been thinking about animals a lot this week, and how much I would love to be able to adopt one. We rent, and our landlords are decidedly against fanciness, aesthetics, safety (remember the exploding fuse incident?!) and of course, the keeping of any kind of animal. Despite their reluctance to chill out and…
Original art works now for sale on ArtFire
I’ve just opened up a shop on ArtFire.com to sell my original art works. This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time, but I kept putting it off because I have assumed that no one will want to buy anything! I don’t want to believe that any longer! Prove me wrong…
