In which I apologise for being absent
After resolving to post every week, then re-resolving to post every fortnight, I have allowed myself to become apathetic. Things like work (and lack thereof), uni, life, and others, have obfuscated that which is truly important – writing things on the internet. It really is a shame, but hopefully it is not one which will [...]
Hottest #10 – The Dog Days are Over
In an attempt to keep my creative organs stimulated, I’ve decided to start on a new 10-part series of mini posters / CD covers based on the top 10 songs from Triple J’s Hottest 100. Without further ado, part 1: The Dog Days are Over – Florence and the Machine

The Quinntessential fashion blog
Earlier this year I discovered that one of my old high school friends has an online publication, titled Kings & Quinns. Miss Quinn’s charm has always been in her ability to combine her impressive intellect with a disarming wit and sense of humour (not to mention an infectious smile, but that has less to do [...]
The prodigal author returns
My, how the months have flown past. It seems the last post I wrote was in April; it is now nearing January and nary a peep has been heard from these pages! Suffering from the designer’s eternal curse of “my-best-is-yet-to-come-itis”, I put off blogging until I had finished the redesign (a project which has been [...]

UPDATE: Please be aware that while the website is back online, most of the original content isn’t yet. Image galleries and a few other bits need to be uploaded again, so bear with me as I get around to this. Thanks. So this little website of mine may not have a large following – in [...]
