Kirsten Becken approached me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d like to doodle all over her photographs. Upon seeing her impressive portfolio, and the bunches of delicious white space available for me to draw on, I took her up on her offer with much enthusiasm! The artists I know often work autonomously, and…

No real content – just doodling
I think I am in a holding pattern right now. So I’m trying to keep a little momentum up by defacing frankie pages with my doodling.
Works on Paper and Drawing show extended!
The Works on Paper and Drawing show at KILN Gallery has been extended by a week due to popular demand, so if you’ve been flat out this month (like me!) you’ve got an extra week to toddle in to have a look! If the trip to Paddington is a bit beyond a leisurely toddle, the…
Adorable find: Kate Doodles
Ice cream head by Kate Doodles Ms Annarchy posted one of Kate Doodles‘ drawings on tumblr just before, and I was struck by the fabulous line work and shading so of course I followed the link and found an amazing collection of work on her flickr account! Bird bath by Kate Doodles A bird in…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
Peppermint Mag Issue 2 and a new blog design!
definatalie.com has been redesigned and it only took months and months to get it up! Apparently there’s a problem with IE6 that Nick is going to look at tonight, but I heartily suggest you download Firefox or the latest IE anyway. Peppermint magazine issue 2 is landing soon! The cover features a beautiful illustration of…
