Ripper Little Christmas (an Aussie Christmas Song)
I finished writing another of my Aussie Christmas song earlier today. I left it a bit later than I wanted to this year but I’m glad I got it done. This is my eighth song now and this year I settled on doing an Aussie version of Holly Jolly Christmas called Ripper Little Christmas. I…

By Belmont Wharf
Purple light Stretches along The horizon As another day ends These photos are from a couple of days ago, down near the wharf in Belmont.

I like how it came out, particularly the way the photos stand out from each other but also how the repetition of colours and styles gives it a feeling of consistency too. I was…

Election Thoughts + More Memes

Election Fun
I’ve been getting into the political mood recently by making some election memes. I’ve shared most of them on Twitter and Facebook but with the election on Saturday, I thought I’d post them here too.
