i'm nursing a baby ringtail possum... it's soooo cute...
i walked out to the back of my house during a heavy pouring of rain and there was this tiny, wet, shivering little creature… trying to climb the down-pipe… at first i thought it was a rat… but no a VERY young little baby ringtail possum had fallen from a palm tree where mama lives… the fragile thing saw my husband and instinctualy and unbelievably ran up his leg for comfort… like it a…

Grant Application - Social Activism Through The Arts {JB Seed}
Got it in the post this afternoon…
I thought it would be a great way of getting exposure for important causes and the artists that make the messages of conscience in visual arts. I have seen members of the redbubble community go above and beyond for raising their voice when they felt strongly about something, it’s one of the affirming things about humanity for me.
So… With the “Art:...
...and now ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for the rabbitollah
Indeed. It’s a long infamous history. From the dark ages of bubbledom there has been much rumour surrounding the identity of the artist often known as Khan. His associations have been lucrative, and some may say he rides the waves of foam and fame on the backs of t-s…

Gaia The Living Planet In The Moment Of Creation
In celebration of the choice of theme that RedBubble have chosen for their current competition (which secretly I believe was my overwhelming obsession for myth subliminally working the pipes of thought), it is right and proper for us all to bow down and worship that who we as a creative force are most inspired by. I have no statistics but an overwhelming number of artists find creativity in th…

like the longest, wildest hair
there is a mass of energy in my hands
curling around my fingers in strands
like the longest, wildest hair
i move with the moons tidal song
but avoiding those Sirens all forlorn
under further duress
if justice can’t be done this instant
for the love of a child and the death of an infant
lights burn and bore the eye
all i can do is cry.
