I'm really feeling the red one. In order to buy this I'm going to have to converse with the awkward shop girl-boy at the store that sells these.

My last day + tearful

Today is my last day at IBSA (dont ask because the answer will be too boring for both of us). We had cheesecake in my honnor and then the CEO gave a speech and I burst into tears! It was rather mortifying.

My ex-boyfriend used to cry all the time. They were mostly tears of guilt because he couldn't committ (cliche?) to the relationship. he cried at movies too. It was really nice.

I once made a girl cry because I told her I was going to be a hair model, I did this because I knew she wanted to be a model (her favorite model was Elle Macpherson, 'The Body'). She still hates me to this day. She should know hair modelling is hardly the real deal.

I remember the day John Candy died. It was 1994 and they announced it on the news, my sister Nicola cried for John Candy.

Some doodles I did

Don't mind if I do

Breakfast. The caramel slice was so intense I had to cut it into minute pieces and eat them over the course of the day.

I picked the strawberry off the danish and binned it because it was so bruised.

Eating at my desk has never felt so cosmopolitan...

Cactus Lady

 Holla! How nice is this bust? Pardon the pun.

SHOEFITI

Tasty Shoefiti down an alleyway on Little Collins (?) street. The whole shoes thrown over power lines thing was a mild obsession for me and my friend Ally for a good few weeks...

Apparently there are lots of different motivations for flinging someone's shoes over power-lines. It can be  (1) an advertisement for a near by crack house (2) done in celebration of losing your virginity (3) a way of paying respects to a dead loved one (4) done to protect a house from ghosts...(might have to try that one)

Ben Ashton-Bell 'From A Distance We All Look The Same'

This Friday just passed was the opening of my friend Ben Ashton-Bell's first solo art exhibition. Each image dealt with the notion of a different phobia. Ben uses a beautiful combination of figurative forms and intricate pattern. The result is an interesting paradox of control and whimsical chaos.

























I nabbed this one! It was very exciting putting the little yellow sticker underneath the piece. You can't really see in the photo but in the top left corner it reads 'We are the same' - I really like that. You know, its the reminder that we are all animals with beating hearts and at a base level, have the same needs and motivations as our four legged, two legged, winged friends.

My friend Elise and I have been talking about Totem Animals recently...perhaps mine is a panda bear?














Well done Benny!

Hanna Scott Stevenson

My pal Josh had a spare ticket to the Melbourne Art Show so I tagged along with him yesterday. Most of the art was quite ugly and over priced.

I did come across a few pretty lovely things. I really liked this work by Hannah Scott Stevenson:
