is the angry hedonist: former designer who gave it all up to become a poor and starving but happy artist instead. She illustrates awkward women in uneasy dilemmas with that loving touch of macabre. She enjoys telling the world her life’s little stories in her illustrations...

I CUT MY BANGS TODAY!!! i’ve had them for the past 4 or so years until last year when, due to lame reasons of needing a change, i grew them out. after forcing myself through a grueling year of awkward growing-out hair, i finally achieved the bangs-less look only to dislike it… yet i didnt gather enough guts to cut it off because HELL i had just spent so much effort growing them!!! so i kept the bangs-less look. ocassionally i would ask people if i should go back to bangs and everyone’s like No… so i stuck with it… until now!!! finally i put an end to my wishy washy bullshit and this morning right before work i grabbed the kitchen scissors, closed my eyes and snipped away. obviously the picture on the left is a Before picture.
a quick little sketch i did to relieve some of my world cup fever. yes!!! i am a german fan and they are onward to the semi’s by the time i am publishing this. i truly wish they will win spain and netherlands will win uruguay… because i would love to see a germany vs netherlands game!!!
ICH LIEBE DER MANNSCHAFT
UND OLE DEUTSCHLANDDDD

hello! here’s a little cropped sneakpeek for this artwork that i did for a certain publication that i just finished today. well, its finished for today anyway. because my eyes are about to bleed out. the only other person who probably gets to see this before the world does would be my oh-so-privileged partner, hurhur. and maybe a handful of my personal sweethearts.
anyway i just learned from someone that im somebody’s muse. errr what. well whoever you are (i dont know who), you totally made my day! thank you!

one of my latest “artwork”? teehee. i painted the german flag on my chest with some old poster colours from back in my schooldays. its the kind in tubs. materials that us students were forced to buy during our (mostly) useless stint at artschool, only to use barely a tenth of it. what a terrible waste right? luckily i am a hoarding junkie and well the colours had already turned to stone but poking it with a damp brush melted it easily. yay. i am much too stingy to buy overpriced body paint for a little football zealotry. and being (somewhat) young and reckless, skincare was quite low on our list of concerns. so! a few minutes later i’d painted two little flags like this on my Boy’s cheeks but for myself, deterred by my awful pimply day, decided to stain my chest instead. and on that day, we watched a brilliant match as germany scored a massive 4 goals against australia. the only dampener to our celebratory mood that night was the witnessing of a primitive fan behavior: an idiot of a german making fun of the aussie supporters. not cool, dude, so not cool.
its always nice to get my artwork printed.
its true, i do love working digital. its clean and fuss-free.
butbutbut i still LOVE to hold a print in my hand and hungrily examining every detail of it.
just in case you didnt know… i am selling small photo prints of (most) of my art at the shop.
for the larger artworks (on canvas and gallery-wrapped), you can head over to Meritus Mandarin on orchard road because they are being showcased there! 5 of my newer pieces, all for sale. they are ENORMOUS in A1 size… thats (594 × 841) mm or (23.4 × 33.1) inches. ENORMOUS i tell you! i would love to bring some home to hang but my walls are kind of dirty (heh i have heaps of leftover tape from putting up my old photos) and i think they deserve a better home.
this is a picture of me (left) and my sister at my previous solo artshow at Dempsey.

Nataliette (left) and her sister; at Nataliette's first solo artshow
and that piece of art is A2 size…which is half a size smaller than an A1. so! the new works are pretttttyyyy big for sure.
yep that was last year in october when i still had black hair and cheesy gold highlights.
and yep… i feel like a piece of charcoal when i stand next to my snow-white sister.
p/s. im so sad, but why is Glee getting lamer and lamer? i want more sue sylvester (jane lynch) and quinn (dianna agron) and kurt (chris colfer)! and more OTT stuff please! dont judge; ive nothing to watch since Dexter finished its run and i cant wait for the next season k.
