New web site ready for your viewing pleasure

I finally found a few free moments to chisel and solder my web site into existence. It's basically a showcase of my tee work, with a splash of portfolio work thrown in.


Goodies to come:

Completion of stage 1: more examples in the Hire Me/portfolio section. A few little paranoid tweaks here and there. And, importantly, improve the SEO.

Stage 2: fully integrate the Blog (at the moment it just sends folk off to my old blog). Thinking this might be a good opportunity to get into Ruby on Rails. Although I haven't had any professional experience with it as yet, I've looked under its bonnet and looks like it might purr like a well-tuned Chevy if I treated it right. Plus, several Ruby addicted friends say that they want to marry it and have its children. With a recommendation like that, you can imagine that I'm looking forward to getting to it better - at least date it a few times and see where it goes from there. Either that, or use Wordpress.

Stage 3: I will turn it into a fully fledged online shopping site.

Triple J likes the Trooper

I was listening to the Triple J Morning show the other day, and they asked for illustrations to be sent in for the Doctor's new tattoo. I sent them my Bettie Trooper 2.0.

This morning, much to my girlish glee, The Doctor waxed lyrical about it, and Zan Rowe said it was "hot!"

Gort protects my desktop

I'm a lover of stuff. Two things that I am particularly in love with are the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and collectibles that relate to the aforementioned classic Sci-fi flick. Hence my glee at purchasing this 5" die-casted tough-guy ...

Made by the good people at Rocket USA, this little sculpture depicts Gort - a Galactic copper conceived on a planet far, far away.

I painted Gort a little while ago ...


Incidentally, prints are available at my good friends over at Red Bubble :)

Webby triumph

Right on the heels of Ballistic's rebuff from the Webby committee, comes some good news ... my good chums at Red Bubble have been recognized as an Official Honoree by the Webby Awards, a distinction that recognizes work exhibiting remarkable achievement.

Congratulations! They have my vote.

New shop for toys ... I mean mini art sculptures

On my most recent sojourn in old Sydney town, I happily stumbled upon a new gem in Newtown called Ruban Rat Designer Toy Store and Gallery.


The little shop is exploding with limited edition designer toys, mini figures, designer plush, original art, prints, clothing, and more. Those who know me can imagine my bursty-out eyes and the distance my jaw dropped when faced with such a feast.

Couldn't resist popping some joy into my bag...
