I was invited to submit some of my older work to Gestalten publication Hair’em Scare’em, and today I got my contributer copy. The book is full of fantastic illustrative and photographic work from a huge variety of artists – I was really impressed with it, and myself for being published alongside such great names! That’s…

Help me pick three to submit to Curvy!
Curvy publishes a book of over 100 female artists, graphic designers and illustrators every year, and each year I am completely intimidated by it. Earlier this year I submitted work for the first time and was pretty dejected when it wasn’t accepted… I guess I am pretty bad at dealing with rejection :P So I…
Blanket magazine interview and secret goodies!
The lovely Caitlin from Blanket Magazine interviewed me for the Holiday issue, and I was rather chuffed to be in the company of Si Scott and Jessica Hische! I also contributed a very very very limited edition December desktop too! You can buy the current issue or subscribe to Blanket to get all the presents.
My, how far we have come
I hope desktop number 12 finds you well, it’s the culmination of a whole year in my creative practice and a milestone of commitment for me. At the beginning of the year I had the idea to do monthly desktops on a whim but I’m really proud of myself for sticking with it because I…
Red ribbons
My friend Kathleen wrote a tweet about forgetting things and tying red string around her fingers, and it inspired this image. There are so many things you have to do to remain a lady, sometimes you can tie yourself up in remembering it all. This piece is for sale, if you’re interested in buying it…

I met quite a few awesome people, like Damien, on Red Bubble (where the International Superheroes HQ is) and I wanted…
New Work
I am drawing my arm off lately for lots of people, but the other day I had a day to do something for me. This piece is bigger than I usually draw, but as a result I can’t scan it without doing bits and stitching them all together. I don’t have the time or patience…
Happy birthday November babies
Today is my husband’s 30th birthday – he storms into his third decade on earth with panache! My sister celebrated her birthday on November 3, or Melbourne Cup day. She was rather sozzled :P
Doodling in the margins of November
The jacaranda trees are blooming here and they always remind me of being in primary school. We used to collect the least squished flowers from the ground, thread them on twigs and present purple wands to our teachers and mothers. I remember all my exercise books so fondly, and how I’d doodle in them all…
Urban Grind and Mental Health Day
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…
