It’s been a bit of a bumpy start to the year so I’ve been trying to take care of myself as best I can, but the upshot has been having more time to create. Actually my frenzied swings between furious output and overwhelming fatigue and depression have caused concern for my psychiatrist, no kidding, which [...]

Ugly femme pride

On 22 December, 2011 · 16 Comments · In Art, Body Image

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 [...]

#fancybonanza, what a kerfuffle.

On 9 December, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Body Image

I was hoping to draw the Fancy Bonanza prize today so I went to look through the hashtag on Twitter and discovered… I couldn’t see tweets older than 6 days old! Argh! I thought I had 30 days of the hashtag archive to play with! This meant that I couldn’t draw the prize in good [...]

First you could declare your site a No Diet Talk zone, and now you can set boundaries around your body with a No Diet Talk brooch! Horah! I’ve probably timed this super well with the party season coming up, but it was just a happy and fortuitous accident.

You can wear the [...]

No diet talk; a badge for your blog.

On 18 November, 2011 · 18 Comments · In Body Image

So, it should be no surprise that I completely object to participating or being submitted to any kind of diet or weight loss talk. The way I see it, 99.9999999% of the world around me is a space where diet talk is not only normal but an insidious disease festering inside the relationships between women [...]

YES THAT IS RIGHT! You can pre-order a fat necklace this week. I know I’m a month behind on this but I just haven’t been able to organise everything properly but now is the time to unleash the fat necklaces again in red, black, pink and white as well as purple hologram and gold mirror.

December, the last desktop.

I don’t really do Christmas and it’s hard to know what kind of colours will best suit all around the globe for these desktops, but I settled on a lovely turquoise, coral and canvas colour scheme for December’s desktop because it’s one of my favourites. It reminds me of the beach… hot sand, cool [...]

Every time I drive over the Story Bridge I feel warm and fuzzy.


There’s been no time to finish drawings for me :(

It’s November and I’m on time!

On 1 November, 2010 · 7 Comments · In Free Stuff

November is here and I’m already planning for my 30th birthday (in December)! We should be having hot and humid sunny days but recently all we’ve had is storms so the mood for this month’s desktop is a bit thundery. I’m also continuing my fishnet obsession. It’s all I want to draw!
