I realised I haven't really posted any of my illustrations... Here is one from last year. I have more to scan, but I'll start posting the ones I have every now and then. x

It was brought to my attention that I hadn't really been home for three weeks... I think the thing I miss most are the swans that hang above my bed. But otherwise? It's good to be away.
Flensted Swan Mobile.
the year of the polaroid, before its immanent demise...
Last December we all went down to Kennett River and camped by the sea. So much came up afterwards that I didn't post any of the amazing photos. So, here they are.






There were King Parrots all over the camp site,
they would come and sit on the hood of the van
and peep over and wake us in
the morning with a screech.





This was our little home,
how can I have so many good looking friends?






At the beach, the rocks looked as if they were
frozen sand after a storm of giant rain drops.






After that giant storm the rocks were
inhabited with beautiful creatures and shells.









The water was cold, but so invigorating.






The river was beautiful, we walked and walked,
all the way up the river and back...





It was an amazing trip. We'll be heading back there at the end of summer and doing it all over again!
Im sitting in a house in the rainforest, the bell birds woke me up this morning.
It's pretty amazing here, the forest is steamy and is sizzling with crickets and frogs.

Im off for a swim!

I hope its a clear night so I can take stock of the night sky.

A little note from a worthwhile encounter last week has made today a little better than the others.

I'm in Brisbane.
The air is dense with moisture,
Just as the sun warms, the air thickens it rains again in a perpetual cycle.

Sammy's apartment is a strange dream, bright green trees trying to find their way into the windows, rain tumbling down in the middle of the night and geckos skitting over the walls.

Tonight I have pizza with old friends and more work to do!
I just can't seem to shake the habit of disappointing everyone around me and myself.

I'm in QLD but I can't escape myself even if I hold my breath underwater and wait for the light to come in from between the cracks in my slowly opening eyes.

I am not built to look after myself and that disappoints everyone.
I just spent three days with my mother and I just can't shake the fear.

This week is a mess. A complete shit fight.

I wish a roof would appear over my head
shielding the light according to my mood.
