ALIA Graphic Novels Group Interview

Posted on

Librarian Marissa King from the ALIA (Australian Library & Information Association) Graphic Novels Group interviews me about “The Dreaming”, thanks to Iurgi for setting this up.

Libraries are very important for preserving the works of Australian creators, and I have here a link that will teach you how to list your comic with Australian library suppliers (NB. If you don’t have an Australian distributor, your work MUST go thru a Library supplier to get into a library).

“Beating the Loneliness Monster” – Part 4 in Youkie Magazine

Posted on

Here’s the fourth and final installment of kid’s comic “Beating the Loneliness Monster” from Youkie Magazine in its July 2023 issue. Co-written with my niece Kelly, this is an awesome 8-page story suitable for kids aged 8-12, and for which Kelly has gotten a few fan mail about! Thanks to editor Nicky for making this happen!

Here’s some more School Magazine art, for issues 4-6 of this year. I’ll be doing some more great art for School Magazine in 2024 as well, so stay tuned!
Always great to work with awesome authors – in this case, the first is “Sai Wen Loses a Horse” by James Bean and Gillian Flaherty, and the second is “The Aeronaut” by Paul Malone.

“Beating the Loneliness Monster” – Part 3 in Youkie Magazine

Posted on

Part 3 of “Beating the Loneliness Monster” is in Youkie Magazine‘s April 2023 issue, which is co-written with niece Kelly Tao. The final issue of Part 4 will be out in the July 2023 issue. Meanwhile, this issue also has a 6-page short story by my good friend Julie Ditrich (Writer) and Angie Spice (Artist) called “Fade”, which is a fantastic look at girls who get too drained when they are too much of a people pleaser.

I recently had a go at screen recording my art in Clip Studio Paint, and discovered that you can do some fun animation stuff with it. A lot of work, but fun to play with.
