This gargoyle like image evolved from blending blobs of colour. The ear and teeth shapes are intentional. I used Paper and Pencil by fiftythree to create this haunting Halloween abstract.

Time to work
Mostly quiet; purring of the engine,
Pierced by one voice.
Headphones, immaculate dark brown hair,
Golden tan, short back and sides, dark grey jersey.
“You got muscle?”
Heads down phones out.
“She played for UNSW”
Seven polygons overlaid in the round below the thumb.
Blue denim shirt, cream chinos and sandy coloured hair.
“Big crowds expected” states the jumping video screen.
Heavy gold links encircle a slim young wrist.
“Almost two years, nice!”
Raindrops on glass,
Wipers have stopped.
Wet umbrella at my feet.
An annoying fly.
“Julie, see you around, my name’s Brad!”
Time to work
Jacaranda shadows
Elder Xanthorrhoea
I posted a picture of our potted grass tree’s flower spike here it is about 1.8 metres high. In comparison, I took the above photo at work this week, this amazing spike reaches over 3 metres!
Good morning, blossom

Humming tree
There were three trees in the backyard when we moved in almost one year ago. The tree fern was already dead, the pine tree quickly followed, and the ficus-like one above had been heavily pruned. For the past couple of weeks bees have been busily collecting from clusters of creamy white flowers. The humming sound and being showered with pollen while sitting at the table below has been a rare treat.
Effervescent Barbarella bubbles
As a child I spent hours drawing organic shapes then filling them with circles. The above is an example of the technique I drew over a few days in Paper 53 for iPad. I started with the basic shape, the rest evolved as I progressed.
The following ideas popped into my head as I quietly looped:
- Mathmos lava lamps
- PseudoIsochromatic Plates
- Scaled Rarasaurus
- Globular liquid
- Emulsified oil
- Magmatic water
- Effervescent Barbarella bubbles
- Blogosphere
- Foaming
- Stony riverbed
- Chained
- Chain stitch
