Jesus Loves Lesbians Too webcomic
I’m loving this webcomic that I just discovered. Jesus Loves Lesbians Too chronicles the tales of Maria Burnham and her foray into lesbianhood, her struggles with her conservative Christian parents, her gay sister Diana, and her own love of Jesus. It also brings up the more ‘sensitive’ subjects like two headed personal pleasure items and other such things. Touching, sweet, and often hilarious, this memoir (published bi-monthly) is a great addition to my bookmarked sites. Read more
Check out the work of Bilbao-based artist, Tanya Evangelista. From traditional oils and watercolors cum graphite, to haunting digital imagery and comic. Whisps of Schiele, Klimt, Kahlo, Chagal in harsh colors, poetic x-rays, and bony figures. Startlingly good.
Brothers James and Tom Pitilli share a blog to show off their illustration work. It’s interesting to see their different styles side-by-side – James (based in Ashevill, NC) has a looser, more pop/psychedelic style whereas Tom (Based in Brooklyn) favors a comic book feel. Read more

Having originally sprung from the Shaky Isles (otherwise known as New Zealand), I can appreciate the humour in the New Zealand cartoon series, Bro Town, the first homegrown animated series to screen during local prime time. It’s simply brilliant, a real play on the ‘thuck’ accent and small town ways of our Kiwi brethren.
Having lived in New York for over two years now, transplanted from the sunny beachside landscape of Sydney, Australia, I appreciate the gritty realism, yet positiveness and vibrancy in the photographic series on Manhattan locals by British writer and photographer, Ian Woolverton. In addition to his talents with the lense, Woolverton also has two humanitarian awards: one for the Australian Red Cross Service Medal for his achievements in the Bali bomb response and the other, Australian Government’s Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal, for covering the tsunami in Aceh.

My friend Sam moved to Portland and subsequently discovered she hates fedoras. She started this blog to document her hatred.
Listening to Mum’s fourth album — Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy — for the first time, I was awash with sentimentalism. Amidst carnival trumpets and burlesque beats, there’s a sense of this being a bohemian rhapsody. Perhaps it’s the mix of cello and brass with experimental electronica. Or maybe it’s just the soft vocals that cascade over playful, imaginative sounds. Whatever it is, it’s totally brilliant. [see also Sigur Ros' Heima]
Listen to Mum’s track, The Amateur Show.
