Cake overkill! But, a delicious sort of overkill.
From left: My first attempt EVAH at a Checkerboard cake (which turned out quite nicely); an apple and raspberry teacake (made by a friend’s mom), and an Orange and almond cake with orange syrup.
All were delish!

A few images from a recent trip to Bathurst, NSW. The days were crisp, but bright and sunny. The Fossil and Mineral Museum is a wonderful little gem in the midst of the relatively quiet city (compared to Sydney). I think we stumbled onto some evidence of the existence of miniature dragons…or nature just up to some hijinx :-)
Another picture of my favorite Spirit of Vengeance, this time to test out some new markers given to me by someone awesome. :)
In the immortal words of Jim Carrey in ‘Liar Liar’…”It was MEeeeeee!”
Pencil sketch of a bird-headed warrior, watching the trees. Is he yearning for a simpler time, when he and his ilk perched and sang sweetly from the boughs rather than cleaving enemy skulls with his broadsword and facing deadly hordes?
Or maybe there’s something shiny up there or something.
He looks surprisingly adorable for a beaten up warrior-bird :-)
I believe this is the sort of cat my uppity little Pounce just might fall for…except for the chasing grasshoppers part. That’s just undignified!
Today we have Mr. Phineas Tibbs, esquire.
He enjoys ragtime jazz, strolls in the park and chasing grasshoppers.
Blue Mountains, March 17th 2012.
The tiniest snail I’ve ever seen! It was attempting some wonderful Ninja-like manoeuvre, hanging above the Scenic Walkway at Katoomba by a thin slime-thread. Its shell was only about 3mm in diameter. It was probably peeved at me for ruining its daredevil stunt, but I’m sure it would have been squished by the hoard coming up behind us.
Little did I know that I know someone who knows the secret of Nessie!
An entry for the Tuesday Sketch tumblr, which is proving to be a good source of ideas free from the taint of my own warped mind.
And I still get to make stupid jokes, so it’s win/win.
The image of Boromir, in his fantasy, medieval looking armor, with these awesome shades just makes me laugh.
And that Sean Bean walked to set because he doesn’t like flying makes me laugh too.

Woohoo! My first iPad drawing using the Adobe Ideas app and my funky (but fake) Alupen-like stylus, with a bit of photoshop tweaking at the end. ‘Twas fun…took much longer than pencil and paper, but then again my lines wouldn’t have been so smooth. Yay Adobe!
Of course, people with some actual drawing talent will have much better results!
The view from the Sigiriya rock fortress in Sri Lanka. Normal and after putting it through the tilt-shift maker. Such a cool online tool…and most things tend to look cuter when small….most things…
Results of my occasional expeditions outside my bubble...
