~tortured artist feelings~

On 11 September, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Art, Mental illness

I’m really fed up with the tortured artist trope. People have said it about me since I was a teenager, and while it’s true that I am kind of a bit artistic and also depressed as fuck, the latter does not positively affect the former. If this were the case I’d be a lot further [...]

No diet talk; a badge for your blog.

On 18 November, 2011 · 27 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 [...]

I hope desktop number 12 finds you well, it’s the culmination of a whole year in my creative practice and a milestone of commitment for me. At the beginning of the year I had the idea to do monthly desktops on a whim but I’m [...]

The jacaranda trees are blooming here and they always remind me of being in primary school. We used to collect the least squished flowers from the ground, thread them on twigs and present purple wands to our teachers and mothers. I remember all my exercise [...]

Ah September, just in time…

September is a month I always seem to look forward to, and not for any particular reason… it’s just that the weather is nice, friends have lovely social gatherings, people sing songs about September and it’s all just rather agreeable, really!

August desktop – enabling obsessive icon sorting since January ’09

On 30 July, 2009 · 13 Comments · In Free Stuff

For this month’s wallpaper I listened to the people, namely Mem, who asked for the little sections back so they can compulsively sort their icons. I admit I hadn’t been doing it because I completely forgot – one month I totally left out the calendar [...]

I’m in denial, right? It can’t be July already!

On 1 July, 2009 · 6 Comments · In Free Stuff

For most of the world, it’s been July 1 for a fair wack of the day but I’m skidding under the door Indiana Jones style for the rest of the globe… here’s July’s desktop!

June wants to know what you’ve achieved this year…

On 30 May, 2009 · 1 Comment · In Free Stuff

June is serious business. In Australia, June is the time for stock take and if you are an employee who has to do end-of-financial-year activities (like my husband!) it really sucks. Even though I have a creative job, I am feeling the pressure… I’m in [...]

May 2009 desktop – it’s getting chilly!

On 30 April, 2009 · 6 Comments · In Free Stuff

I’m not sure where you’re from in the world, but May is generally one of those in-between months and you can never really predict what the weather is going to be like. Fortunately right now in Brisbane there’s a cool nip in the [...]
