Noela Stevenson is my spirit animal, and her new(ish) webseries Nimona is pretty awesome. It's funny, charming and with damn likeable characters. Plus her art is super great. (I'm a shark!) Read the series over here. Daughter singing 'Youth' live for The Amazing Sessions on Amazing Radio is pretty close to sublime. Also, Estelle… Continue reading Friday Finds

Your Mid-Week Art Break
Check out Maike Plenzke, an exceptional illustrator from Hamburg, Germany. It's all pretty exceptional (plus A+ Hunger Games fanart).

20 Nostalgia-Inducing Photobooth Snaps of Famous People. I particularly love the Elvis ones and the one above of Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer. (via Flavorwire) I'm also a bit in love with these covers for Pulp Novels featuring Marvel characters by Jon Morris. You can check out the rest over on tumblr. Taylor's… Continue reading Friday Finds
Welcome to the Weekend
This weekend I'm modelling at the Love Vintage Fair at the Brisbane Convention Centre for Bonnie Rose Vintage Clothing. I'm super excited, but also pretty nervous because it's not something I've done before. I'm also excited to experience vintage clothing. I love it generally, but I also love it as a narrative device and as… Continue reading Welcome to the Weekend

There's some really, really great literary art prints over here. This Hemingway one is my favourite (and also something I require in my house). Letters of Note recently posted correspondence between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his editor, Maxwell Perkins, regarding early drafts of The Great Gatsby. I'm a pretty huge fan of Fitzgerald generally, and… Continue reading Friday Finds
Your Mid-Week Art Break: Salvador Dali
A bit of the oldschool this week. Between 1951 and 1960, Salvador Dali did 101watercolour illustrations to accompany and interpret Dante Aligheri's poem, Salvador Dali Divine Comedy. The overall effect is really interesting and beautifully executed. Check out the full works here.
Welcome to the Weekend
This weekend is the Finders Keepers Market, and I have no money, but I'm still really excited to go. It's a beautiful market full of insanely talented people. It's a pretty special event. Otherwise, today will be spent drinking too much coffee and hopefully finishing my entry for the Young Writers Award. Hopefully. What are… Continue reading Welcome to the Weekend

I am totally obsessed with this mash-up of Blondie's Heart of Glass with Philip Glass (via thefoxisblack). It's beautiful musically, but it really shows off Debbie Harry's voice too, all of which makes it pretty close to sublime. Blondie vs Philip Glass - 'Heart of Glass' - @daftbeatles MASHUP by DAFT BEATLES These anti-procrastination stickers are… Continue reading Friday Finds
Grief as Narrative
I recently watched NBC’s Awake, a new (and short-lived unfortunately) series about a man who, after a car accident kills a loved one, constructs himself two universes. One where his wife survived and his son died, and one where his son survived and his wife did not. The whole thing was wonderfully crafted with layered… Continue reading Grief as Narrative
your mid-week art break: annie wu
I am obsessed with Annie Wu at the moment. Her art is not only wonderful and reflective of her immense talent, but she has one of the best senses for character and expression in illustration that I've seen recently. She is pretty spectacular. You can check out more of her stuff over at http://www.anniewuart.com/. … Continue reading your mid-week art break: annie wu
