Enjoying my digital break more than I expected :)

I started this piece a year ago, just before leaving SA for the biggest adventure evar, to visit America and experience the magic of The Dresden Dolls and their amazing community.

Goodbye, Jane.

You are the reason I fell in love with science. You and Tom Lehrer. It's been a hell of a year.

RIP Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025

On a scale of 1 to not-at-fucking-all, how surprised are we that Facebork #banned this picture? I am actually quite surprised...no bewbs, no guava, no dingle....oh wait. A small voice referencing #GBV. That must be it.

The Etymology of Ruin
Through a glass darkly

2025

There are Days when the world
Breaks
Days where everything is one way yesterday,
and another way tomorrow.
Everything before, happened to a different me.
Everything after, quietly whispers a dissonant narrative.

Stars in St. Poelten

For The Dresden Dolls upcoming appearance headlining a one-night-only show on Sept 13th 2025 for #Tangente Festival in St. Pölten, #Austria for a night of magic in the open air. I was commissioned to create the artwork for their tour poster.

On the 1st day of spring every year until 2021, I would go into my garden and bring in some Jasmine, put it by my bedside and deeply inhale the heady scent.

I miss the scent of Jasmine as though it were a dearly departed friend. Of all the things Covid took, I hate it the most for that.

I never watch reality TV because it celebrates a culture of people being mean to each other. Isn't life hard enough? The world is on fire, and the sky is falling, and you're shaming someone for being fat? How is that useful for the fundamental good of our species?

REQUIEM
For K and L.

Mixed media, 39 x 57cm

This artwork was made for a friend from days gone by, who is now a friend from now, and a collector of some of the best and most meaningful pieces I have made. It is in memory of her soulmate, whom she lost far too young.

The Wounded Healer
2025
There comes a moment in healing the self, where a choice must be made. Many moments. Or the same moment presented in many guises, as we gaze ever deeper into the fractured vessel. This is about those moments.

THE MAGICIAN'S ASSISTANT
2025

Who holds the power? He wears the costume of control. She is keeper of wisdom and light. He performs the role; she embodies the magic. Who cast the spell, and who obeys it? Perhaps the illusion is ours.
