Ugh, Hwei Lim's artwork is just doing things to me today. Soft and fluid, it reminds me of the illustrations in some of my old books of fairytales growing up which, y'know, I'm always here for. It's all pretty aces. You can check out more of Hwei's work over on tumblr.

Sunday Short: Musical Chairs by Josie Curtis
We spoke only when necessary, expelling words gently, apologetically, as if they had to walk over shards of broken glass to reach each other. He spent the night in my bed, where I curled around the edge of the mattress, pulled so far away from him that he might as well have already been sleeping… Continue reading Sunday Short: Musical Chairs by Josie Curtis

http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/mj3hlQkBO4M&source=uds Ugh, I've been inhaling all of the Radio 1 Live Lounge covers of late, and this one by The Noisettes is just doing things to me. It's so, so beautiful. - It feels like a week of rediscovered photos which is pretty cool. These Beatles ones are particularly great. - These love letters between… Continue reading Friday Finds
Your Mid-Week Art Break: Daniel Krall
How great is Daniel Krall's work? Totally inspired and coming across unlike anything I've seen before, it's stylistically and story-wise pretty unique. I'm a little obsessed with the picture above, the moment fantasy meets reality is always something I've loved, so to see it represented so creatively is, well, pretty awesome. You can check out… Continue reading Your Mid-Week Art Break: Daniel Krall
Heinui FW 2013
When push comes to shove, blue's probably my favourite colour. A fact that surprises people! I don't know. It suits me as I think it suits most people, not necessarily too harsh like red or two soft like pale pinks or creams. Heinui's Fall/Winter 2013/14 collection hits that nail on the head. It's hard to… Continue reading Heinui FW 2013
Sunday Short: Unsuitable by Cory Taylor
My father never forgave her for this capitulation to The System. This was the late sixties and he’d read his fair share of the fashionable literature. A natural outsider he was attracted to the theme of sedition he read into the work of Vonnegut and Solzhenitsyn, among others—anyone at all who could fuel his anarchic… Continue reading Sunday Short: Unsuitable by Cory Taylor

Your Guide to BIFF
Brisbane Writers Festival is upon us again! It's totally one of my favourite times of years, when we get access to hundreds of movies that we wouldn't normally get the opportunity to see. The program's pretty good this year too, and I've picked out some of my highlights for your viewing pleasure. If you want… Continue reading Your Guide to BIFF
Your Mid-Week Art Break: Julian Callos
Julian Callos' work is totally where it's at for me this week. Fantastical and surreal, his stuff really encompasses a sense of myth and character in a way that's pretty special. You can check out more of Julian's work over at his website.
Sunday Short: Girl in Red by Allyson Armistead
And then there’s the before-and-after problem with erasing Dad’s identity: the whole space-time continuum glitch, where even though he’s faded in our furniture and walls and talk and clothes and hair, he’s like the echo of a piano key—a sound that stays in my ear even though the key was struck some time ago. I have… Continue reading Sunday Short: Girl in Red by Allyson Armistead
