dOCUMENTA (13) – part one

12 Sep

So Nadine and recently got back from the land of overseas … we had a cracking time! One of the highlights was going to dOCUMENTA(13) … I drew stuff from almost every day of the trip and dOCUMENTA was no exception – here’s a couple of things to say.

This comic will be in the November exhibition Sleuth, at Inflight ARI in Hobart, and might end up being part of the book of The Long Weekend in Alice Springs itself come early next year.

 

Paris

7 Sep

So Nadine and I just got home from a smashing month in Europa – woohoo!! Nadine had some nice adventures at Boisbuchet as part of her Arts Tas grant with the Vitra Fellowship go and check out her stuff as she tells it at her blog Nadine did a lot of type hunting … a lot … and she came up with some nice little numbers (and letters).

I filled my entire sketchbook over the month with sketches and comics, which I’m going to turn into a mini travel-comics zine for a bit of fun.

Josh BoOTsMa!!!

30 Aug

Well, alas … the Blues cannot make the finals this year and we have lost our coach Brett Ratten in the process. I drew this pic of young Josh Bootsma some time ago but haven’t had the chance to use it since he hasn’t been selected for a while. Here it is, despite him not playing this week. There’s a few other first gamers tht’ve been red hot crackers this year … i’m looking fotward to seeing Tom Bell smash into the midfield in the future, and I gotta say that i very much enjoyed Levi Casboult’s efforts thus far in his senior career.

Go blues, 2013 will be an exciting year!!!! 

Bluebagger Round #22 – Andrew Walker

21 Aug

so Andrew Walker is a gun. So damned athletic … and that’s all i have to say on the matter.

the blues take on the gold coast this weekend … we must win … and then we must win against the saints the following weekend … and win we shall.

Bluebagger Round #21 – Bryce Gibbs

15 Aug

Gibbsy is a bit of a gun, I, amongst many, would like to see him in the midfield one day … but in the meantime – Mr Utility it is!!!

Pontevedra – Thursday 16th August

13 Aug

Pages 102-105

12 Aug

previous pages 99-101
For the rest of the graphic novel go here

I’m quite fond of these pages … I’m a bit of a dag but I find them funny. I didn’t change much with the text in these sections. The cannibalism section is a little shocking in contrast to the rest of the comic which doesn’t have fantasy sections which are quite so full-on … but I think that’s a nice way to break the comic up a bit and refresh the reader throughout these long cadenzas of wordiness and concepts. I was worried that long periods of lecture-like talking might be a little grating so the jokes and munching were a necessity.

Bluebaggers 2012 – Round 20 – Brock McLean
