I’ve been busy busy lately working on new products for Fancy Lady Industries, including the new and fabulous Vain necklace! After feeling some feelings and thinking some thoughts on ugliness and vanity, I started doodling and developed the Vain lettering. It simply begged to be made into a necklace, and voila! Buy a Vain necklace…

Some typographic things and a bug.
When Alex Louisa let me know that my Lovely postcard was used in this month’s issue of Home Beautiful magazine I was pretty surprised. I’m glad the stylist liked it enough to include it (though it’d be cool if it was attributed, just saying!) This is what I do on Friday nights. I’m not a…
Come look at what I’ve been doing…
Did I show you the poster I drew for the Leeloo Disband show? Well if so, here it is again, because Renee and Angela are taking the exhibition to Melbourne! My work will also be in this show, so if you’re local to Melbourne make a date to check it out. I posted a snap…
Primping and preening
I did a bit of sprucing up on my blog this evening. I’d been meaning to for a while but time had gotten away from me! As always, I got way too into it and started playing in Illustrator with lettering I’d copied from sketches. My soundtrack all day has been Sia’s new album, We…
Friday Fance: Fance harder?
A prickly pear chair! I had to look a few times before I understood what I was looking at. I love this chair style, and I adore that the back has been used to replicate a cactus! It’s by Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers, and her site is currently down but I’ll link to the Design*Sponge post…
All things seem possible in May
May is such a lovely month here in Brisbane. The air gets a little crisper but the sun is still strong and it’s perfect weather to read a book in the sun. Because many of you are from the other side of the world, I am mindful not to make my designs too southern hemisphere…
April is not so cruel after all!
It’s been April for a few days now, and I’m awfully sorry for the tardiness of this month’s desktop but I have been so busy! I will never complain about being busy though because as a freelance artist busy-ness THRILLS me. Choose your resolution, fine folks: 1920×1200 1920×1080 1680×1050 1600×1200 1280×1024 Wallpaper for iPhone (320×480)…
Renee-Anne on the cover of Peppermint 5
How exciting, issue 5 of Peppermint is out! I may have an early copy though (thanks Kelley), I’m not sure when it comes out at the newsagent. You can see the adorable Renee-Anne on the cover in a blouse I am seriously coveting right now. Oh yeh, and my letters :P
Zine update
It’s been a bit of a disrupted work week, but here are three more drawings for Tell me about your body in 10 words or less. I didn’t realise how much people’s feelings would affect me, and I have to say it’s slow going at times.
Tell me about your body
After going to TEDxBrisbane and seeing Dallas Clayton’s video on publishing “An Awesome Book” I have been feeling inspired to self publish a book. I’ve also been reading a few old zines, the FaT GiRL zines from the 90s in particular, and I thought I’d start out by publishing a zine on body image –…
