    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…

    Zine Reviews Part 1

    So far things have been massively busy. And I have not done as many reviews as I would have liked. So here’s the first installment (of a few) of my zine reviews. Burger Force #1 – 4 – Jackie Ryan, et al – burgerforce.com The Skinny – Nervous and paranoid university student, Mercury, is selected…

  • Zine Fair

    My head is in a strange place. Friday night. Last time I paid any attention to anything it was day. The sun was high in the air. But now every football (read: AFL or NRL) geezer is out, the game is over and they are looking for a piss up and maybe a fight. Meanwhile,…

  • Papercuts Collective Exhibition

    It’s late right now. Witching hours. The Papercuts Collective Exhibition and Zine Launch went off with a smash drawing a significant crowd. I helped out sticking things on walls and minding a merch table of zines on the opening night. Music by the Hobo DJs was okay. The opening speech made by Steve Townsen congratulating…

  • 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.…

  • Papercuts and Wine

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…

    Zine Review

    Last week I picked up a number of zines from the Zine Fair. Of course, I got sick and for some bizarre reason I still went to work. On Friday, I went offline to go through some of the zines I purchased from the fair. Beef Knuckles is a zine series by three guys, Rob,…

  • From the Inbox

    Today I get told that I should be checking up post box. This is what I find: It’s my advance copy of Staples Whenever I See A Bearded Hobo On The Street, I’ll Think Of You And Smile. The other copy is for Ve who regularly attends my knife fighting circle. I am really looking…

  • 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…
