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…

Equal Love: I support same-sex marriage
On Saturday I went to the Equal Love rally to march in support of same-sex marriage. I went to support this key human right for all people, even though I am privileged insofar that my relationship is legally recorded as a marriage. The government and religion should have little to do with each other, and…
Fanciful Friday
• Animated gifs that are fancy! Go see this full screen – so awesome it will make your nose bleed. • Amy Winehouse – Me and Mr Jones. I love Amy Winehouse without shame, she is an incredible vocalist who writes the most poignant lyrics. This song is one of my favourites just to belt…
Things that make me laugh
Everyone likes a larf, right? Here’s some stuff that’s made me giggle. • Matt Preston, one of the judges from MasterChef Australia. Aside from being a dapper dresser, he has a way with words. He described a perfect panna cotta as having the consistency of a “5’10” rubenesque woman on stilettos = perfect”. • This…
Video, yip yip yip
I thought I’d get off the video thing but yesterday I realised I hadn’t done a “video portfolio” and I wanted to see if I could top my old one, done in September last year. Because I’ve now got an iMac, I also have iMovie… so I’m able to do all kinds of rad edity…
How to love yourself – redux in video format!
I did a vlog version of the “How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps” today because I thought it might be good practice to get into the swing of talking and making videos. I actually surprised myself – I think I had about 20 minutes of babbling that I had to edit fairly…
I’m a vlogger and a blogger, I have it all!
So, I have a friend called Heather who has been vlogging for a while and I’ve been hesitantly toeing the water for a while on Vimeo by getting people to ask me questions that I answer on my web cam. It wasn’t until I came across the hilarious communitychannel, created by Natalie Tran, that I…
YouTube videos that made me cry today
I am quite the choir nerd – This is Perpetuum Jazzile covering Toto’s Africa completely a cappella, even creating the rain and thunder from clicks, knee slaps and jumping on the stands. Amazing. Yes, I’m gay. It amazes me when people reduce a gay person down to every stereotype they’ve ever heard because it somehow…
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,…
The Vendor Client relationship
Design isn’t free; budget for it, love it, pet it and stroke it! This video points out that when you haggle or try to undercut a designer’s work (or any other service-based vendor), it’s like you’re asking for something for nothing. You wouldn’t ask a car salesman for a free car, and tell him it’d…
