About me

David Scott Aubrey is a world-renowned artist and writer, with works numbering in the hundreds of thousands across media and genres of all types.

Some of his best-known works include the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, I'm Not Lactating Nearly Enough, the Eisner Award-winning comic book series, Christ! What's That Under My Foot? and the Myer Award-winning performance art piece, Damn Gravity, where he maintains a marathon seven hour stint in front of a large television whilst sleeping on a recliner in an air-conditioned room on a hot summer's day in a post-ironic protest against global warming.

His Archibald Prize-winning series of Surrealist paintings, Yes, A Rhino's Horn Up the Backside Would Be a Pain in the Arse, I'd Imagine can be seen at the National Gallery until the 15th.

You can also find copies of his new ARIA Award-winning CD, Noises I Make to Clear Elevators 2 online if you're fast enough.

One day, David hopes to be really rich so that - when he's old - people will think of him as 'eccentric' instead of 'senile'.

David would like to point out that an excellently-written article about online friendships can be found here. If you've never left a comment on his blog in your life, but want to go for the ol' friend request, please read it first.


My work

Tired just thinking about work of any kind. Work leads to diseases like the horrible Having to Wake Up to an Alarm, the agonizing Catching Public Transport, and the debilitating Missing Your Nap Today.

Fast facts

  • Music I listen to:Depends on my mood; baroque to heavy metal; classical to punk, Scott Joplin to The Offspring ...
  • Best album right now:My MediaMonkey (or Rhythmbox) Playlist?
  • Favorite author:Joe R Lansdale. Or Graham Masterton. Or ...

  • If I won 1 million dollars, I would:Try to turn it into $ 50,000,000.00! It's the 21st century! Who can live on a measly million?!
  • If I were a super hero I would:Create a totalitarian regime kind of like the one in the 'Empire' comic book series, or wear my underwear on the outside of my duds and fly around helping people - it depends on my mood! Either way, PRAY I never get super powers!

  • Hardware I use:Intel Celeron 540 1.8 GHz Processor, 80 Gb Hard Drive, 1 Gb RAM Compaq Presario C731TU Notebook (which - in the olden-days - used to be called a laptop) running Vista Home Basic with a Canon Pixma MP610 MFC, 1Tb External Hard Drive and lots of Coffee!
  • I discovered My Opera from:For the life of me, I can't remember. Probably a deep dissatisfaction with IE, and a desire to find a safer browser. In any case, I'm glad I did!

Why I choose the Opera browser

I love the 'fit to window width' function! Not to mention how everything is in the one program - browser, mail, newsreader, site editor, notebook, contact info, password management, thumbnail previews, drag and drop customization, inline spell checker, panels, turbo, unite (and so on and so on). And the Community is the friendliest on the Internet! (One, Two, Three ... Awwww!)
