Granny Square rug


43 squares! I can't count - 65 squares actually.

Some paintings


I am very bad at keeping a visual record of my artworks. My new years resolution is to change this habit.




These are some paintings I did in the last while. The blue bird - for Adeline who turned one recently. The other was painted for Katrina.

If Felix says it's a rug then it's a rug


And he communicates this by sitting on it. Felix loves rugs. If there is a rug on a rug he will sit on that. So when I put my granny squares down to photograph even though they are not joined he authenticated my efforts as a rug.



I've got a granny square a day habit. I want a beautiful rug for my studio in time for winter. But there are so many other things I need/want to do and I have to give them all time. So I'll just do one a day and I'll have my rug when I need it without the endevour eating up all my time. I'm crossing it off on a calendar every day ala Jerry Seinfeld.

DD July 23 Redrawn



I'd like to think that some of the squiggles created during the daily drawing challenge might end up as something more substantial. Part of the idea is to switch off "the critic" so that something beautiful or interesting can emerge without having to justify its existence to the critic. I think that is what happened with this drawing.

Daily Drawing 7 August


I kind of cheated with this post and drew something I had already drawn sometime ago. I think the first version, the pen and ink sketch, was better. I did the original sketch at a nightclub and this was the girl serving drinks.

Daily Drawing









Ok I've been reading a lot of blogs where artists post a drawing a day and I think it is a good discipline. So I'm going to do it my self. My goal for now is a month of daily drawings.

Nikolai Benjamin Shnookal born 24 of February 2009



Nikolai is here! And yes he's two months old and this is the first I've blogged about him. But you know there is little time for computers with a newborn around.
Anyway he is soooo lovely and cute - I'm smitten.
He's very chubby and loves a cuddle.

Going Down Swinging Reviewed in the Age - I get a mention!



On Monday night Polly and Chris came over. As I was making them a cup of tea Polly mentioned that it was great to see a review of Going Down Swinging 27 with a mention of my name in the Age the day before.

What what what??

I bought the Age that day and had totally skimmed past it and probably wouldn't have known about it if Polly hadn't pointed it out.

Needless to say it was rather thrilling to see my name in print accompanyied by the encouraging word "engaging".
