I’ve been featured on two awesome blogs this week and it isn’t even really Monday. Oh it is? Well… shit. The lass behind Young, Fat and Fabulous is Gabi, and I’ve known her for quite a few years on this here internets! I’m really stoked that her blog is enjoying such success, and very honoured…

A funny story…
You know those gorgeous images you find of vintaged flowers, betraying some kind of longing on the part of not just the creator, but whoever posted it? Well, I took some photos in my friend’s garden, and after having a fiddle in Photoshop they reminded me so much of this sort of image, as well…
The chordae tendineae, or heart strings…
The chordae tendineae, or heart strings, are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. This is another new illustration, based on a little gesture Nick did the other week. You see, he is quite susceptible to having his heart strings tugged by tv shows,…
I’m in denial, right? It can’t be July already!
For most of the world, it’s been July 1 for a fair wack of the day but I’m skidding under the door Indiana Jones style for the rest of the globe… here’s July’s desktop! To download one of these babies, click the link to go to the flickr page where you’ll have to go to…
La donna mascherata
A new piece (or, drainting! A drawing and a painting) for exhibiting, hopefully, if KILN still want me to participate in the Illustrators show coming up soon! I usually know I’m on the right track if a new piece scares the crap out of me, and this lady sure scared me on several occasions! Despite…
Back to basics
A line is all I need from Natalie Perkins on Vimeo. I decided I’d better start submitting drawings to things because I really ought to be promoting myself, and one of the first zines I wanted to submit to was the Underground Art School. The theme for the next issue is Simplicity/ Back to Basics,…
June wants to know what you’ve achieved this year…
June is serious business. In Australia, June is the time for stock take and if you are an employee who has to do end-of-financial-year activities (like my husband!) it really sucks. Even though I have a creative job, I am feeling the pressure… I’m in the middle of setting a business up, and also fielding…
May 2009 desktop – it’s getting chilly!
I’m not sure where you’re from in the world, but May is generally one of those in-between months and you can never really predict what the weather is going to be like. Fortunately right now in Brisbane there’s a cool nip in the air that takes the edge off the strong sunlight. I have a…
April is a nice time of year in Brisbane…
It’s April, starting from tomorrow! It really crept up on me, I just realised today was the last of March and I’d better whip up a desktop. An organised person would make the whole year of calendars in advance, but I’m not organised (ok I am some times) and I kind of like being able…
