Road Trip.

 

 

Road tripping through Australia.

We drove for 13 hours from South Australia (for Laneway festival) back home to Melbourne, Victoria. A long drive, but we got to see the Great Ocean Road and see wild animals and meet nice people in hostels during the journey. Then back to China Town for dumplings. Brilliant.  

Heathers.

  Heathers (1988) is such a great 80s high school classic - I love Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Such a dream team!

Actually, the film's pretty dark, but it's also rather comical and has some great lighting and one liners.

Home Made.

 

One of the first rings made in the jewellary workshop. 

A five stacked textured silver ring (two were whitened by repetitively annealing and pickling, another two wee oxidized in oxidizing solution, the other was left silver ), textured with fine and course files and laced together with drill holes and cotton string. The hinge at the knucle is secured with a join so that the two rings sit nicely on the upper finger.

The necklace is made from fossilized sharks teeth (ten for $1 at the crystal shop), wrapped in fine wire and put on chain.

I miss having a studio! Will have to try and get one in New York.

Pablo.

   

Lykke Li covering Rick Ross Hustlin'.

 She's that good.

Birthday Life

  

 

 

 

 

   Izakaya Den - Melbourne

Continuing the tradition of Japanese for my birthday celebrations - this year in Melbourne triumphed with a delectable course of dishes of tuna tataki, kingfish sashimi and ox tounge, to name a few. The vegetarians gave up on life and ate everything that was put down, and then we washed it all down with endless bottles (beakers?) of plum wine, cold and warm sake. Up there with the best I must say.

Post Card

A little selection of drawings I did for postcards to loved ones.

Themes included woodland creatures, skeletons and a car, because Dad loves cars.

Run Deep, Run Wild.

This is a magical video. So simple, yet so powerful.

More Shrigley.

More from David Shriley. He is so good.

She really done me.

 

  

The Beatles - Don't Let Me Down.

One of my faves.

Check out all the mammoth fur coats and facial hair. Dreamy.

Brooklyn.

Wellington. 

Memories of taking photos on a hilltop nearing sunset with a good friend. 

Magic Soap

 Dr Bronners Magic Soap

This is my new favourite cosmetic. It is an 18-in-1 organic hemp liquid soap. You can use it for washing your hair, body, face, teeth, as a dishwashing liquid, for clothes, for pets, for the house, everything. It is made from completely organic oils, so its kind to the environment, plus it is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way (at only $7.90 a bottle, its well worth a try ). It also comes in various personality-friendly  scents (Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Almond, Baby Mild), I have Rose, and it smells like Turkish delight! Ive bought three as presents already. Oh, and I think the packaging is oh-so-cute. I love writing.

Shrigley

 

 I immensely enjoy the rambling sprawling notes of David Shrigley. You can tell he is a wise man.
