Like many people, I’ve spent a long time fretting over being ugly. Beauty, or being pale and smooth skinned, able bodied, straight haired, thin, with symmetrical features amongst many others of varying arbitrariness, seems to be rewarded with good times, pay rises, attention, excused speeding tickets, prolific representation in the mass media, romantic partners and…

#teamfance is the best team
Following the Lane Bryant kerfuffle lots of people bought fat shirts in solidarity! How totally awesome! Some lovely people have shown me photos of them and their fat stuff, which is really cool because it proves that people are embracing the f word! If you’ve been one of those radical people and want to share…
Tshirts, stickers and gym bags!
Just a quick post to alert everyone to the fact that I’ve finally updated my Red Bubble account with recent work. Horah! I was intentionally holding off until I could afford to fund my own print venture but it’s not going to happen for another few months at least so I thought I’d throw them…
It’s nice to share
First something shameless, but it’s a good deal so I had to share! Red Bubble are currently running a 20% off promotion on canvas and framed prints. If you like my work you can take a look here and see if there’s anything you’d like to decorate your house with, but if you don’t see…
Might I ask a favour?
You might remember this from when I wrote about entering this piece in the Red Bubble/ Stefen Sagmeister collaboration; it’s open for voting now and if it’s not too out of your way, I would love you to vote for me! Thank you!
Happy?
Red Bubble are collaborating with Stefen Sagmeister on the Happy project, and I submitted this piece (called “five“) to the contest. Basically we were asked to rate ourselves on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being depressed and 10 being elated, and submit a piece based on a template for inclusion in Sagmeister’s “Happy Film”.…
Blog Love!
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…
Bits and pieces (including but not limited to stuff and nonsense)
Ms Mitzy asked me for a custom illustration – she particularly loves my flower balls, and wants to get them tattooed on her! I couldn’t actually bring myself to title this “Flower Balls” so it is henceforth known as “Flower Baubles”. There, much more lady-like! Senorita Makalita took a photo of the canvas print she…
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,…
The newest additions to my card collection
I am amassing a tidy little collection of artists’ cards from Red Bubble and it feels good. Mum has a huge collection of cards she has received her whole life and many of them have awesome 1970s illustrations. It’s nice to have a similar collection of cards, except these are more like cards that are…
