Invasion Day scribble
I am actually knee-deep in assignment so these were done on Saturday when I had a couch-day due to illness. I don’t really want to glamorise smoking blah blah but liked the idea of turning the Perth skyline into something.

Turning boring things into slightly less boring things
Discussion last night at Economics was around CVs. How to make them interesting? Whilst educating the masses on the joys of infographics (basically bragging I’d had one published, something first year graphics students probably manage in five seconds), it was suggested CVs are best done in infographics. So I did mine, because I don’t have a CV.…

One fish, two fish…
The fish continue. The watercolour was nowhere near as good as I hoped it would come out. I’m only posting it in the spirit of full disclosure. I’ve decided I will need to work more on this painting palaver before I broach the issue of the two watercolour canvasses I picked up at Spotlight on…
That’s fishy
Had a bit of a fish obsession for the past couple of days. It was prompted by being asked to “visualise” negotiations. There’s a phrase negotiators apparently use which goes: “If you do x, I’ll do x” as a way of building trust. It’s an exchange that makes me think of a leap of faith. “I’ll put…

The rather brilliant Chris (who features in the flame-throwing goat cartoon) suggested we use dating process from deciding to date someone through to marriage as the visualisation. We thought it was a pretty brilliant idea… not sure the rest of…
GOAT OF DEATH
Me: Hey Facebook, what should I draw? The Mandurah Mail: My office, being exploded by a bomb. My friend Chris: A firebreathing goat. Chris, here is your goat: Kate, I’m working on blowing up Mandurah. That’ll be an actual sketch so might take a while…
Getting out of hand
The dinner table looks like this: This cache of colours has grown far more rapidly than I anticipated and seems to be mutiplying daily. The stash comes with a sharp ping of nostalgia: My beautiful mum would give me endless art-related gifts as a child, and I kind of feel like I’m buying stuff I used…
Ghost stories
I made it the whole way through a sketch book. I don’t think that’s ever happened before – that I’ve actually used a whole one before I’ve lost/destroyed/turned it into a shopping list. Today’s electronic pic is the beautiful Jayne, a colleague. Used a 70 per cent transparent gold star for her eyes – first…
