I had been to see a gig on Lonsdale Street in the Melbourne CBD as part of the Melbourne Music Week. This odd ‘festival’ seems to partially consist of paying well known musicians lots of money to play on the street disguised as buskers. This was the case at least for the gig that I saw, which was largely ignored …
Animal Party Invitation
This is a quick sketch I did for the invitation for my upcoming birthday party! Happy Birthday me!
Stardust
Here is a very old painting I did as a gift for an ex-boyfriend. It’s inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Stardust and has his autograph incorporated into the design. (I have a massive nerd crush on Neil Gaiman) Apologies for the poor picture quality, the original is no longer with me.
Are Deadshits a Necessary Product of Society?
While there are many down on their luck kids who just need to be given a chance to improve their circumstances, there are also a great many youths who have no desire to do this. This group of youngsters could be suitably classified as ‘deadshits’, meaning that they have no interest in doing anything productive or making an active contribution …
Last Train Home

This was perfectly timed for me to encounter all the bogans from the Central Coast on their drunken way home. Wonderful. Being …

The closing of Oh Really represents the end of a Newtown street art institution, and the atmosphere was jovial. I found myself compelled to congratulate one of the gallery directors on his great success. Five years previous I …
Rain Forest Frog Tattoo
The little froggy guy on the wrist was designed by me, to complement the rain forest theme with the space available. Sadly I can’t also claim credit for the little elf guy, who was the product the inimitable talents of Mr Brian Froud! Want a tattoo design? Get in touch.
Saturday night in Auburn
Had an action packed weekend as usual, but Saturday night was quite a varied cultural excursion. I went with my housemates in the evening to Auburn and we had a super tasty, kebabtastic feed there. The kebab shop in auburn totally knocks the socks of the city versions, it was packed full of people having fun and making noise inside …
Dr Sketchy’s Sydney
I attended Dr Sketchy’s Sydney this week and thought I’d share a couple of doodles (not that kind, sicko!) with you. If you don’t know what Dr Sketchy’s is, then YOU SHOULD! It’s a world wide phenomena of burlesque and alternative life drawings, with a couple of performances and competitions thrown into the mix for extra fun times!
