my peoples

oh, hello there. my housesitting duties finished this weekend, and i returned to my people in the heart of the inner west. i lugged my backpack, back over the bridge, and caught a train home to beautiful st peters station. i was expecting some form of parade, or at least one float, but was happy being presented with the grey belly of my cat abe, flicking around on the garden path when i got back. he's such a little trooper. i had a good time over in cremorne for the last three weeks, but it's great to back home. here's some pictures anyway, enjoy.


this was the view from my ride home on the ferry from work on thursday. rainbow.


the sun kicking out some rays on the balcony at the apartment in cremorne.


i painted this on the weekend, mostly outside in the sun. i smiled to myself when i had finished, and then realised how long it had been, since i'd genuinely done so. too long.

sit on this

i'm housesitting an apartment of a friend of mine in cremorne at the moment. she's gone to russia for about three weeks, and asked me to look after her place, and her lovely cat mischief while she is away. it's been a nice little holiday for me too. i haven't spent much time over that way, since i moved up to sydney. it's a lovely leafy area, that's quiet compared to my usual digs, and i get to catch a ferry to and from work. it's only about ten minutes from wharf to wharf, but i get gently woken by some sea spray to the face, which is nice. i've been enjoying my holiday, and the fact that i don't know anyone who lives over there. it's meant that i can spend my time drawing and mooching about, both of which make me happy. not that i really need an excuse to do this, i mange to do this alright on home turf. i'm enjoying living on my own for a while. i get to be both tony danza and angela, at the same time.


a reverse shot of my ferry ride into work. the timing is great. i go in when the sun's coming up, and i go out when the sun is going down.


after drawing this, i realised that i may have to get out more than i do.
