some words:

scanner is broke, & am diggin film slr & disposables at the mo. soooooo......

currently doing some lino (i.e. gouging out bits of my hand) in lovely sick-yellow and blue and black. it will be amazing, gonna try remember to do a mirror image next time though haha. it is for beautiful lyndsay but it's takin forever.

also been doing some nice observational drawing of various things and stuff.

and i did some work for an exhibiton ages ago, i drew some australian animals wot i saw in australia. i called it "antipodes". i did the whole thing in two weeks of some bad jetlagging.

anddddd i've started accidently collecting mugs

also now wearing a stylish elasticated ankle support on my...ankle, bet all the kids will be wanting soon. might try falling off my bike less.

and i knitted three green cardigans and a purple one and an orange one and some lamby hand cuffs and a top and a hat and designed some snazzy leggings and a jumper and sewn a purse.

and some more stuff

uploading pics takes forever so just imagine them

I AM HAVING A NICE TIME

I have done museuming, art gallerying, nature reserving, rock climbing, sea-swimming, shopping, eating, drinking, wine tasting, meeting people, and more stuff

I have seen kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, emus, echidnas, wombats, Tasmanian devils, possums, cockatoos, parrots, exotic birds, pelicans, snakes and spiders.

Yesterday I did drawing in the museum, lions and tigers and such, and Papua New Guinea/Solomon Islands stuff coz I like the patterns. And then I cycled all the way down the river to Henley Beach, and all the way back again.
Good things about yesterday: nice drawing; beautiful bike ride down the river to the sea; seeing pelicans and other exotic birds; finding a lovely sandy deserted beach; beautiful sunset.
Bad things about yesterday: forgetting to take a towel, bike lights, and water (on my late-afternoon cycle to the beach); getting bitten by every single insect in all of the land; terrifying ride home in absolute darkness next to a river; narrowly avoiding a bird shitting on my head.

I'm only coming home because I've run out of money.

jus me chillin with the wallabies, in the rain.

"I've been working like a Japanese prisoner of war. But a happy one"

not my words, the words of alan partridge.

something old:

something new:

something new-ish:

I am doing online portfolios and it makes me hate whoever invented internets and anyone else who is applying to uni and making it harder for me.

The other night we went to Dr Sketchy's and drew a lady with cocktail umbrellas on her nipples and drank beer. It was good. I would post pics of what I drew but they are mostly terrible.
