I didn't promise you a rose garden...

... or my comics are quite shit.

I turned 31 a while ago.

I think my nan said it well with "you're an old woman now"...

But these clocks...make me appreciate being an old woman.

Naked Man

Every Friday in The Age EG supplement,

It's taken more than 3 years to fill this book up.
2007 mustn't have been a big year,  a trip to Japan,  a move to Melb... Not enough!

Thanks, nothing you do is ever stupid spotty... (my sister was having doubts, because I was the only one in the family who thought it was a great idea).  Christmas 2007 Len had chickenpox!!

My family like to buy me those gift card things - what do I do with them???!

A nice fat book.

Michael and some kitties.

Some more kitties.

From a fairy book at fArt class.

More kitties, a bird and a ship.

The envelope where I got my tattoo from.

Me in a photo booth in Paris holding a mini Tour Eiffel.
Travelling alone means you don't get photos of yourself very often.

This book is finally finished,
I feel so pleased...
It's funny but my family don't know I have a blog,
despite their photos all over it.
Shhhhhh, I like to keep things to myself!

Keeping scrapbooks of things makes me think
of Andy Warhols Time Capsules.
One day all this crap will be so pleasing to look back on.

Punk Rock Girl

Paradise City

I'm listening to Guns N' Roses - Paradise city...
It makes me want to dance.

Reminds me of my old boss

waiting at the bus stop

saying 

- ready for another day in paradise?

It's okay if you act like a turd cos....

I like birds.


M at work actually said this.

Just after I'd said to myself
Tweet tweet bloody tweet.




Somebody should be studying....

We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times.

I've had this in my head all morning,
if only I could draw as well as my imagination.




It's called The web of silence.

I am the man who stays home and does the dishes.

Sink and dishwasher at work live next to each other.

Right next to each other.

It's not hard.

I made this sign,
but someone took it down.

In a previous work place,
I made a sign that said
"Everytime you leave a spoon in the sink,
a baby dolphin dies".


Don't mess with me.

Drawing on comics

So without enrolling into Jeffrey Brown's comic class
I decided to pretend.

Here's my comics.

Cheer up, it might never happen. - Fuck, so I'll be a virgin forever, great.

Where'd you get those eggs? - Buried in the sand, I'm gonna sleep on them.

You stole my fucking pen again. - No, No Please!
