I unfortunately can't give credit to any of the original artists of these images. They are welcome to let me know. But Putin can go f.... well, you... Continue Reading →
Our 7yo son Jai wanted to take his imaginary Ender Dragon for a walk. I saw no harm. We took him to the Kingscote Farmers Market, held at the Bay of Shoals Vineyards. Jai had a blast. Fairly sure the Ender Dragon had fun too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiAfOp6kCU Big News: We are moving house within the next... Continue Reading →
OK, this is a long article. It combines a few train-rides of hand-written notes all combined together. Take today: Upon arriving home I had to chase, with hobbled knee, to catch my 4yo boy running down the street. Wow. My hydrotherapy was wasted. Sarah needed to go out (to help her 96yo grandmother).

All effort has been put in to rebuild my wife's honey business, plus get my artwork in display and window-washing businesses on-track. Life... Continue Reading →
My latest graphic design invites you to smile!
I've been a radio presenter at 5KIxFM Community Radio Kangaroo Island since February 2017 and I've done about 50 sessions (once a week). Until now I have relied on the headphones they have available. Almost every time I choose a pair that buzzes or whooshes in my ear. So I have been searching for decent... Continue Reading →
