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…
International Superheroes make a book!
When Damien asked me to draw some lettering for the cover of the International Superheroes of Drawing, Illustration and World Domination book I was totally flat out but I really wanted to do it. I met quite a few awesome people, like Damien, on Red Bubble (where the International Superheroes HQ is) and I wanted…
Once Upon an Art Show in Sydney
Once Upon launched last Thursday night, and by all reports it was a fantastic night in Sydney. I wish I had the cash for plane tickets down for the last week, because Happenstance were launching their second issue (which I’m in!) as well! One of my pieces sold, but the other three are still for…
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
I just wanted to remind you…
to LUNCHDOODLE! I have been a little busy in the last week or so, but I’ve still managed to do a few doodles. I really can’t recommend this highly enough if you want to strengthen your visual-spatial metaphor skills (basically, drawing stuff!) Here are the doodles I’ve been most proud of: Today’s theme is “Elbow…
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…
Show us your doodle. Your lunchdoodle!
Some smart, funny and good looking people (who will no doubt quibble over how I’ve linked them!) came up with the idea of lunch doodles over Twitter, and they’d been showing each other the funny drawings they’d done while eating lunch (or working, but don’t tell their bosses that!) I thought it was such a…
Doodle on yourself
People are starting to believe that I am a trend whisperer. By people, I mean my friend Tee, who tweeted about doodles and fake tattoos at the Gaultier, Chanel and Rodarte shows. I can’t even remember what I said about doodling on people… but it might have been a flip comment in response to Drew…
