Brisbane Trip
So I spent the last week visiting family and a couple of friends in Queensland. And take some time out to draw and write some things. I was also in Brisbane and took a few photos of the headline exhibition at QAG and GOMA – The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. The show features…

Sydney
Last weekend I went to Sydney to hold a table for the ACT Comic Meet at the Manly Zine Fair. I went a day early to check out the Friends of Leon Gallery to check out the Justyna Kisielewicz exhibition that just opened. However, I didn’t get any photos, because there was an official photoshoot…

Brisbane
I recently spent time up in and around Brisbane catching up with friends and family. It was a crazy week of camping, mosquitos, idyllic island life, mad long cycling commutes, kayaki, protesting about kayaki, and dragging a kayak through low tide mangrove mud. It was also art galleries, decent food, obscenely warm days, board game…

Head 2 Head Zine Fairs

The Other Worlds Zine Fair was organised in protest against one of the sponsors (being Transfield [Services/Holdings] who also manage the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres) backing the MCA, and thus the zine fair.

Afterwards, Josh and I rode up to Hotel Laugarhóll, a farm hotel, with as it would happen also featured the Sorceror’s Cottage. The cottage is a replica medieval cottage, made from driftwood, mud brick and a turf…

Radelaide
To paraphrase from Transmetropolitan, to understand a city, you have to get it beneath your feet. Adelaide has a distinct air of being the forgotten city. Truth be told, I know very little about it, past or present. So I went for a walk from my hotel into the inner city. I suppose after about…

Hobart Visit – MONA
Over the last week, I visited some friends in Hobart and among the first and last things that I saw was the art collection housed in the Museum of Old and New Art. Because its a thing you have to see twice to get a real feeling for what is happening behind the battlements of…

San Diego
I learned that San Diego had trams – trolleys – when I was figuring out how to get to my hotel. And a town that has this mode of transport can’t be all bad. We were staying in a hotel on the northern fringes of the Gaslamp Quarter – the part of San Diego that…
