When I Was Young

I wore glasses for fun......

Holiday C 1970

Man!!! We were all young and skinny.

Something

Stuff I'm pondering on my mental health day....

1. How I know how to do stuff that others cant, but cant tell them how to do it. (Dyslexia brain)

2. How I know where places are but cant tell others how to get there. (Dyslexia brain again)

3. How I can make people feel so comfortable with me that they start morphing in to these fabulous actors where anything goes (including horribly wrong)

4. How scenarios play out in cartoon form in my brain when scary situations or people are out of control and that makes me laugh inappropriately.

Dads Birthday

The old guys 73 today. Im scared about time. This scribble drawing illustrates my feelings. I demonstrated a middle aged lady calling a taxi that had already gone past. My parents are the dearest adorable people who have always had the ability to infuriate me beyond reason. Got to love them.

Jews

I found this book that was printed in 1888 at Vinnies about a month ago. I believe its Hebrew and possibly the Torah. It is very beautiful and I had wanted it to use in my art, but I have not the heart to destroy it. So what do I do with a book I cant read and can cant do art with? Perv I guess. Make my own story about whats going on inside the covers....... I am slowly cooking a fascination with the Jews as I start to understand the religious and cultural differences. Might I add, I find them easy on the eyes. My first major crush was Neil Diamond who is a Jew. Even the word Jew is attractive, it just looks right. And if I had a boy his name was going to be Joel and a girl Julia. I have something going on with the letter J sound.

The Bride Wore White

Haptic Art

Had not heard this term till today at the National Portrait Gallery where I saw the Inner Worlds Exhibition (art from the unconscious mind). This painting by Illustrator Stephano Vitale is in this form which I love so much.

73rd Birthday Card

Cervexisaurus

This is Louise's description of herself on her blog. Gee I made my laugh about the picnics in the trees. Little tripper.

"Hello. I'm a painter. I sew. And make zines. I love clothes and having picnics in trees. I reject the false and forced dilemma of having to choose to be feminist OR frivolous. I collect buttons off the ground. This blog is a place where I can post outfit photos, but also where I can explore issues around fashion and feminism through words and images."

All Done

Letterfu

I used this software today to send these letters and really enjoyed writing them.

Here is the site www.letterfu.com - writing without envelopes, cutting or glue. Eco writing, maybe....

Girl With A 3D Heart

Ive had a personal best today with the completion of this zine. My new friend has inspired me to write and make this zine about my relationship with biscuits. Even though we have not met in real life we have started writing letters to each other and it is way more meaning full. If I didn't have her funny sense of humor and quirky way of looking at the world, I don't think I would have come up with this zine. So thanks for all your inspiration mate and keep it coming baby...... I need it.

Day Out In The Country

I love the architecture of Goulburn It wasn't much further than the Pumpkin Festival, so decided to see if there Art Gallery was open but it wasn't. So I sat in my car and painted this in the main street.
