Friday Night Magic
Went out Friday night, and I’m late as usual. Drove across the town to the scratched-throat vocals of Tom Waits playing through dying speakers. I promised to pick up Em to deliver her to La Chat Noir, an irregular nightclub event that’s run out of the Kremlin Bar. Its a place that capitalises soviet chic,…

In The Post
Two things arrived for me in the post today. Firstly my copy of Weathercraft by Jim Woodring. This is simply a marvelous looking book and inside, continues the adventures of the various characters of the Woodring World, and in particular ManHog. For the most part, these comics are silent. They tell their tales solely through…

Crash
*Sigh* Some things are not meant to be. Yet. My birthday was on Friday. All went fairly well. Spent a day with a friend, Em, taking photos of graffiti as per the weird tradition I do every birthday now. I did take a lot of photos, but a great chunk of them were long murals.…

Landed
Well I’m back home now. It was a really good week. I was busy helping out with an art exhibition, got to see my family, and generally break from my routine. Over the week, Jeremy put me up in his place. Part of it looked like this. And when I say part I mean about…

Flight
So by the time I’m in the taxi, I realise I have forgotten my phone. I am less than a block away from my house, but I think, fuck it, I’m not going to ask this guy to turn around. I am horrendously late for my flight. I should have left half an hour ago.…

Yesterday
Really, busy yesterday. And over the weekend. Basically, spent the entirety of Sunday hanging out with a friend, Em. The National Gallery had finally peeled away some of the temporary fences that concealed it’s renovations (at least one of them). At first glance it looked like an art bunker of some kind. A place that…

Papercuts and Wine
In September, I’ll be heading north for the Papercuts Collective Zine Launch to meet up with friends and family and generally take a break. The zine launch will feature three zines from BeardedHobo (who has recently returned from Japan), Bianca Valentino (who I mentioned previously) and Matt Limmer (who I have never met). A portion…

Resurfacing
Well this week has finally come to a close. After two weeks of spending most of my time in a storage vault, it’s good to be above ground and with people that talk to each other. This is to say that most of the conversation I heard throughout my time underground was co-workers names manically…

Today
I am awake now. Last night I went to a dance music festival and spent a great deal of time losing my hearing to breaks and beats. Breaking ground on some writing. Comic is slowly going ahead. Also, a shameless plug. Staples is releasing his travel zine, hopefully sooner than later. You can see and…
