sex glimmer






i have started a new series of sketches
called sex glimmer. i intend to paint them.

i hope you like them. i have 9 so far.
seems like a sexy number. but then
so does 3 and 13. who knows.

i will stick with 9 for now.

here are the first 5.

fabulous



i've said it before and i will say it again
deb mclean
is so darn wonderful

her busy being fabulous blog
is truly flourishing, every time
i revisit it i am swamped,
stumbling and baffled by
all her glorious finds

deb is a food and prop stylist
here in melbourne and i have
worked as her assistant, wishing
that some faint layer of her sparkle 
will rub off on me

some day

take a look at her impeccable work
as well here in her portfolio

tumbalina's empire



a girl named kaye creates dreamy paintings,
fantastic collages, crazy beautiful illustrations
and sometimes sneaks up close enough
to photograph the golden soldiers who protect

Tumbalina's Empire

i designed a website for her to house her genius
and i know you will like it too. come to think of it,
you should come over for happy hour.

we will be having ice-cold vodkas with pomegranate seeds
sprinkled into each glass.

simply divine you say?
why yes, it is.

seren in wonderland


seren my muse.

there is nothing in the world as rewarding as praise from someone 
who really knows you. if you haven't read seren's "living opals" blog
then you may not know what it is like to stare into the face of wonder.

intelligent beyond her years, talented beyond reason, gorgeous, 
glorious friend and partner in crime.

love you kid.
so much.

a new illustration



this is a new illustration i made for a magazine
about looking at the upside of the recession.

i have started building dioramas and illustrating
over the top of them. thanks to the work i am doing 
with prop stylists, am able to add touches of delight 
unforeseen in that technical peanut sized place
in my brain.

which is to say, i am learning and i love
to learn. keeps me supple.
