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…
Fanciful Friday
⇒ Eating apples with a knife! I don’t know why I love it so much, but it might have something to do with minimising facial mess! This photo was taken by Solarized. ⇒ Wearing t-bar sandals. If you’ve got wide feet like I do, Evans is fantastic for affordable wide fitting shoes. I thought I…
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…
Fanciful Friday
• I’m not sure how I came across The Chintz of Darkness but they post some incredible photographs and illustrations, and have a very funny blog name. If you like ye olde home decor and curious knick knacks and whatsits, you’ll love this blog. • I really like the hair styling on Zac Posen‘s fall…
Indubitably, sir.
I’ve been wanting to start experimenting with using wood as a support, and I bought a big piece of plywood from Bunnings weeks ago but hadn’t had the time to cut it up or paint any of my ideas for personal work. This week I’ve decided is my week; on Monday I got electrocuted by…
August desktop – enabling obsessive icon sorting since January ’09
For this month’s wallpaper I listened to the people, namely Mem, who asked for the little sections back so they can compulsively sort their icons. I admit I hadn’t been doing it because I completely forgot – one month I totally left out the calendar too! If you can forgive me for being forgetful, I…
New portfolio and a feature on Forth Thread!
Finally, my new portfolio site is up at natalieperkins.com! Nick and I have been really busy this year with various things and a sad casualty was my portfolio site. It was taking so long that one day I decided I wanted to redesign it entirely, and I came up with the white layout. I didn’t…
The Illustrators at KILN – starts this Friday night!
I just picked up three of my beautifully framed pieces from Bizarre Framing and dropped them into KILN Gallery for The Illustrators show, a group exhibition I’m so chuffed to be part of. I saw Nigel Buchanan‘s gorgeous giclee prints lined up against the wall, and said hello to Shaun Campbell and his fancy car…
