About Me:

Ummm. I started drawing comics in the 90s when I lived in Melbin. I drew six issues of an autobiographical comic called "Big Smoke'. I also drew other bits and pieces for other publications like Circumstantial Evidence and Dee Vee. I worked at the noise fest for a few years and had the chance to publish comics and distribute them nationally. How Comics Can Change the World was one of them.

In 2002 I got an Australia Council grant to draw a comic book with Mandy Ord. The book 'Brick Dog and Other Stories' was then published by Pluto Press. It was pretty cool but I spose not many people saw it. I pretty much stopped drawing after that. I've done a few things for Tim Danko's 'My Soiled Sample' but truly, have pretty much felt 'out of the circle' of artists. They all live in Melbin still and I'm up here in Sydders. I started Comic Artist Rehab just recently to try and get myself drawing again... because I miss it.

Thanks for that Andrei, I'll check those out. I saw 'Fistful' in Minotaur and assumed it was made in Melbourne - it looked good anyway.

Andrei Buters commented on John Weeks's group 'Melbourne Comics'

'Fistful of Comics' has been going pretty hard for a while now but I don't think they're Melbourne based. Maybe 'Yuck!' ? Tango is a bit more professional than a zine. I'd ask the friendly clerks at sticky because a lot of the mixed contribution zin…

The Dark Side of the 'Toon

IN HIS weekly Pub Strip, Melbourne cartoonist Fred Negro has chronicled the history of St Kilda's pub culture for the past 20 years. As the suburb has changed, so has the satirical strip, which runs in the free street-press paper Inpress. But somehow Pub Strip has lurched its way to a significant milestone, its 1000th instalment, despite often featuring in the same panel Dostoevsky and a perambulating penis.
