As an increasingly adventurous foodie and all ‘round lover of edible things, I thought it might be great to give this challenge a go.  One of the great things about Australia is that because of its diverse multiculturalism, a lof of the foods mentioned on this list are easily accessible and available locally, which means I won’t have to travel too far to try them.  But then again, going abroad to try the original item does add an extra level of adventure, doesn’t it? ;D

Of course this is by no means a definitive, nor comprehensive listing of foods one must try —I see it as more of a guide to those foods which may often be overlooked or unappreciated.  Anyways, I’ve ticked off some of the stuff I’ve already tried and dated those which I remember specifically, although I’ve left some so I can make a conscious effort to try them again.

Prepare for awesome!  Ready?

Following through on something I’ve always planned on doing, I’ve finally gotten around to setting up some designs to make available on clothing, so you’ll be able to own and wear some of my best work!

Initially, a large part of the catalogue will consist of tees but I will definitely be building the catalogue of gear available as time allows — but let’s be honest, tees will probably dominate the store —and anyways, what kind of person doesn’t like tees?  Commies, terrorists and mole-people, that’s who!!
Only kidding!  I know for a fact my mole-peeps luuuurrv themselves some trendy tees. (Don’t ask me how, I’m still getting over that experience  )

Check out some of the designs on offer.

I might also think about integrating the store as part of the site.  I’m not quite sure if I want to go that far at this point but we’ll see.  I might just have some random designs on offer in the sidebars or something small like that… we’ll see.

In the meantime, let me know what you think.  Are you going to be wearing one of my designs?  Be sure to send pics if you do.
Also, let me know which others you think I should add.

Cheerio!

It’s unbelievable that after all this time they should resurface, as I’d given them up as lost forever (although I still have the crashed drive that I hope to somehow be able to restore when I can afford it), and it was all thanks to my little bro’s curiosity and looking through a bunch of CDs I unknowingly left at my dad’s house.

So I’ll be posting up additional icon packs from the Novacons series, and some others. Unfortunately, the photoGraphic Folder icons artwork was not recovered in this batch, but you never know, it might just turn up again.

Stay tuned for the icon packs.
