I'm an illustrator based in Melbourne. I like to draw things. I also do some drawing and animating on Twitch.
I'm also one of the hosts of @hypothepod.bsky.social which is a podcast about conspiracies, and sometimes turtles.

Get some No Dogs in your ears! Definitely not about a dog.
What's this? Only a bloody No Dogs Club!
@thesalt.bsky.social and @aleofatime.com are up. No @sexenheimer.bsky.social (because he's a dog).
The topic? This fella in the picture, who is also not a dog.

Ok look. I draw a lot of mushrooms. If you see me drawing mushrooms or I post any mushroom art it's not a statement on current events. It's just a penis thing, ok? #MushroomMurders #Mushrooms #Art #Freud

Market next weekend. Need to print a bunch of stuff. Perfect time for my printer to just absolutely start shitting itself and not working right. Yay.

I love...LOVE...the UK version of Tipping Point but it fills me with such BURNING RAGE when the contestants drop the counter and it doesn't fall flat, but they NEVER FUCKING ADJUST WHEN THEY PRESS THE BUTTON! Come on people...

So Clive Palmer spent $60m on an election campaign that infuriated the nation, didn't win a seat. Says now he's too old for politics and wants to feed the homeless so donated $5m to Foodbank. Flip those $ and act more humanitarian two months ago and you might have got some more votes. #AusVotes2025

While you're having fun generating Al versions
of yourself as toys, remember there are thousands of artists out there who would love to do something custom
for you like that which doesn't look Al and exactly like all the others, nor has potentially devastating long term environmental impacts.

On Star Trek, the replicators are just pumping out plates of food and cups of tea Earl Grey hot all day. Thousands of crew members. Where does all the plates and cups and cutlery go? Do they get washed and dried or just shot out into space? Or somehow recycled? #BigQuestions

To whoever filmed and edited Clive Palmer's TV spots. a) rethink your client choices b) the phrase "can we do that again, but just pause for a couple of beats between each point, Clive" would have saved the unhinged half second of weird slow motion you had to add in each time. Fuck me dead. #AusPol

My last drawing of 2024 and first post in 2025. From a four word prompt given to me live of "Reverse Mermaid Freak Show". I like the old timey vibe of this one & how it turned out. Come watch me draw on Twitch sometime?

So the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle exhibition stuff got me mega hyped on TMNT art and I've been a little fixated the last week and a bit. So here's a load of art over a few posts that I've been working on. #TMNT #FanArt #Art #Illustration #Procreate

I went to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exhibition in Melbourne twice. Not because it was great, but because none of the artists that were commissioned to do work at it have been given any credit for their work and it got me STEAMED.

I recently bought a small ceramic slug from George The Slug, a Melbourne based artist. I've wanted to adopt one of her little guys for ages. First thing I did, obviously, was make him a little forest home diorama out of paper craft. Meet Cordy. #Slug #Craft #LocalArts #Ceramics #PaperCraft

I bought a new Wok. The brand is m.i.n.t. which apparently stands for Make Inspiring New Tast. I checked the story on the back but it gave no hints as to what tast is. #taste #woolworths #wok #cooking

I should start posting some art on here huh? I have a table at the Coburg Creators Market this weekend and will be selling a bunch of prints. If you're wondering what sort of art I do, here's a taste. This is the darker more traditional side of my artwork. More below...

In the spirit of posterity and legacy, here's the best/most famous thing I posted on Twitter. It has made a couple of "best political moments of the decade" lists which is pretty cool. The original Bill Shorten mullet. #auspol #mullet #BillShorten

Banana duct taped to a wall sold for like $6m. I'm taking pre-bids for my long running conceptual work "Piss Bucket Banana Peel" starting now. The work does not exist. I don't think it actually has to to be honest. What even is art? I quit? #ModernArt

Conspiracies used to be fun wacky things to talk about with my boys. Then the world got pretty cooked. Now what we used to see as fringe opinions and ideas are just the norm and exhausting to talk about. So we've lightened the tone of the podcast for a while. This one has a massive cow.
Ayy, we are back talking conspiracies. But not the ones that are just "the news."
This week, it's the Weekly World News from exactly 33 (!) years ago.

A little while ago (a few years most likely) there was a graff crew getting around the western suburbs that signed off as "We Paint Dicks" next to giant often ejaculating always curvy dingers. Spotted this beast of a piece today and couldn't help but miss that crew. #Graffiti #StreetArt #Footscray
