This is what Bronwyn at RKB posted today “So I finally got my hands on Joshua’s personal comic titled ‘The Tension’. It is a companion book to his and Craig’s iconic graphic novel ‘The long weekend in Alice Springs’. Joshua talks about the process of creating ‘The Long Weekend in Alice Springs’ and accompanying emotions with its release/launch and ongoing popularity in Alice Springs. Hats off to all the authors and artists who put their work in the public sphere. It must be a very nerve-wracking experience.”
Hobart launch will be held at Yambu Cafe on Friday July 6 with me doing some live comic readings with projected art and music and me generally talking about how terrifying art is to put out into the world. Also special guest appearances from Emily Sheppard and Natalyaa Bing doing a viola/violin duet which I am TOTALLY STOKED ABOUT. Supported by Island magazine and Yambu.
The Long Weekend turns 5 today
11 MayFive years today since the Alice Springs launch of the most emotionally difficult art project that I suspect I’ll ever do, and also the first huge art project I ever did. Grateful that I stumbled into it, completely unaware that it would change me.
Recently I finished a minicomic called ‘The Tension’ which is about making ‘The Long Weekend in Alice Springs’ and what happened to me afterwards, which isn’t something that I’ve talked about much; it will be riso-printed in time for the Other Worlds Zine Fair in Sydney. I’ll have some mini launches later on once I’ve pulled my brain together.

The shadows we cast are explored through object, sound and space where cartoon meets comic, graphics meet sculpture and holograms meet playful projections. From Marvel to Minions, comic and cartoon art is all around us and is increasingly being recognised as an art form with both high artistic value and the power to communicate diverse stories. Join us and follow your shadow.
