Been printing out some zines for the Queer Collaborations Fair Day tomorrow so if anyone is in the area come along. There'll be my stuff and some great Red Mera Vintage cards.

As to the title...

Poke #1

Ok! CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD POKE #1!!!

This was on sale at the MCA zine fair, and i have a few left over which will be on sale at Sunday Secretions at the Excelsior hotel in Surry Hills this sunday (clicky). The hardcopy version are much nicer fyi. And cheap!

MCA Zine Fair

Here's some photos from the fair, which was heaps fun!!!

We got there early and Shikha set up the table all nice.

^^ Check out these amazing cards that Shikha from Red Mera Vintage (plug) handmade (all from recycled goods).

My stuff didn't look too bad either...

So it was pretty chilled in the morning. The weather was terrible and i was wondering if anyone would come.

They came.


Overall a fun fun day. We sold a bunch and bought a heap of cool stuff (which i would like to do a post on soon if i get some time). i'll also be posting some online versions of some of the stuff i was selling over the next few days.

Poke #1 Preview!

Poke #1. A Tantalising Trio of Tales! 

Poke is a little anthology style zine i've put together for the Zine Fair tomorrow. A few comic strips & sketches. Gotta finish stapling these today for the big event tomorrow. Gonna have a bunch of other goodies too! 11am - 5pm at the MCA, level 1.

J is for Joker

Went a little crazy on this, there's pencils, charcoal, watercolours, ink and pastels in there. Little bit of colour tweaking in PS. Just messing around to get a good result.

Here's a sneak peak at a page from one of the short comic strips i'm working on for the Zine Fair. I'll be pretty much all of this week trying to get everything ready for that on sunday. We'll see how i do.

Now i'm going to bed cause it's frigging cold! Watching X-Files. Scully has brain cancer, it's terrible!

What have i been up to...

Well i've been sick with the flu the past few days and have barely gotten out of bed. That's been nice and annoying as there's only a week till the MCA Zine Fair, and i still have a fair bit of prep to do. It's coming along, slowly coming...

I've also been doing a bit of of digital work lately, which i haven't done in awhile...

And reading lots of comics and watching some movies. Blood Diamond is pretty insane. Here's an old sketch of the day to pass the time...

And now i must go and take photos for the next batch of vintage clothes to go up on Red Mera Vintage.

Skecth of the Free Comic Book Day!

So it was Free Comic Book Day yesterday, which ironically is when i spend all my money on comic books. Damn those 20% off sales! Me and my girlfriend went to Kings Comics for my comics and then to Kinokuniya to check out the Craft and Zine fair thingy they had going on.

It was freaking hectico. Kings was packed and i got overwhelmed and went blank on what i wanted to buy. Shikha got the Iron Man/Thor and Batman free issues and i got Doctor Solar/Magnus & Irredeemable/Incorruptable. (Irredeemable seems good. Might check out the collections. Mouse Guard as always is great. Those Mice are so freaking cool! Iron man/Thor was a little disappointing. I feel like JRjr was not doing his best work there. And Doctor Solar & Magnus were just ok. Still, all free so good haul!)

Then we got more from Kino! And saw Darth Vader! And Harley Quinn! And a bunch of other cosplayers! The Zine fair was pretty small and heavy on the craft. Again, overwhelmingly packed so we grabbed a few more trades (can't wait to read that Unknown Soldier) and got outta there.

The Harley Quinn at Kino looked fantastic, but i have to say this is still the coolest Harley Quinn i've ever seen...

Sketch of the Day 17

Busy preparing for the MCA Zine Fair next month, aswell as putting new stuff together for Red Mera Vintage. I'm trying to write some new stuff for the Zine fair but i just can't seem to get started. Always the hardest part for me. Nevertheless i should have some cool stuff ready for it (it's on the 23rd May at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney), so come along if you can. I'm post some previews when i can.

Did this digital piece for Red Mera Vintage recently, first digital work i've done in ages so i've started messing around in that area again. It's fun!
