David Lasky: Because He Cares.

USA:
“There was an article in the Seattle Times about an educational comic I drew about the 1918 flu pandemic, and how to prepare for a new flu pandemic. They reproduced a page from the comic, which I pencilled and Lin Lucas inked. The comic book is free from King County Public Health.

The comic book can be ordered (or read online) via this link…

Looks interesting, although I couldn’t seem to see a clear larger version of the comic. I’m also looking at making a comic using editable type, do you have any tips for formatting it, ie, programs used etc?

Tongue is firmly in cheek of course (hope this comes across).

Is anyone ready to have the “I love James Kochalka but…” conversation with me? I’m too scared to say anything else for fear I’ll be shot down in flames.

20 Pages in a Fortnight

From New Zealand:

doing it late…

i’m late… i had a virus, its the holidays, my dog ate my homework…. one of those. Anyway there are another 20 pages here

we are at the point (its a long scroll through the old pages to the new pages) where a navigational click to the page type aid is required. A stern memo has been written to the lads in the dead xerox press R&D bunker. They love memo’s, makes them feel they are alive. Like someone notices.

Another 20 pages up in a fortnight (yawn).

‘Midnight Morning’ Art Book Launch – 17.07.08

‘Midnight Morning’ Art Book Launch – 17.07.08


I’m proud to finally announce the launch of Midnight Morning, a limited and handcrafted publication showcasing a new and never-before-seen illustration series that I’ve developed alongside some of my favourite artists, Haline Ly and Will Loeng.

THE LAUNCH
Midnight Morning will be launched with a concurrent show atRococo Productions’ warehouse exhibition space. For one night only, original artwork from the book will be displayed and will be available for sale alongside a selection of other new artwork, books and prints from the artists. All three artists will be in attendance on the night to meet fans, discuss their work and sign editions of the book.

THE BOOK

I’m very excited to show everyone this book, we’ve tried to make something really special and it’s easily my most well-presented work –

Hand-pressed dust-jacket cover
15 hand-bound mini-posters
280x280mm
325 gsm Brilliant Vellum stock

PRE-ORDER RESERVATIONS

Because of the limited and time-consuming nature of these books, we’re taking pre-orders to make sure everyone can reserve their copy.

Each pre-order receives Microscopium, booklet documenting the making of the series and featuring new artwork alongside, development sketches and insights from the artists. The first 30 pre-orders will also receive a copy of KLEFT design magazine, which explores the inspirations behind a range of designers’ works.

MORE

Please visit our website for more info and previews.
We also have a blog updating with behind-the-scenes tidbits every day.

I hope to see you there!

Chronox

Re: This Weekend: Chronox + Mini Mercado

Hey folks,

This Friday evening is the opening of the annual Northern Exposure
Festival, High Street's weekend-long Winter arts hoo-hah. As part of
this we got a couple of things going on:

Chronox
Michael Prior; Lachlan Conn

Opening Friday 20 June, 6–11pm
Performances on Friday night after 8pm by Matthew Brown and Tarab.

20 June – 22 June.
Fri 6–11pm,
Sat–Sun 1pm–11pm.

Utopian architecture, cardboard, boyhood nostalgia, cable-ties,
repetition, light, dope, esoteric geometries and locked grooves.
A large-scale installation/device.

In short: we've built some big stuff that you can climb inside. There
is also a stupidly limited edition of 3 Chronox 7" dub-plate records
made for this show, each containing 20 locked grooves. If you're
interested, this will be your only chance to get one of these. Once
these precious objects are gone, they're gone forever.

Also, all the galleries on the street will be having openings too, so
if yr up for a gallery crawl Friday's your night.

On Saturday afternoon we will have a Mini-Mercado Art Market out the
front from midday to 4pm or so. There will be simultaneous art/craft
markets going on in various spots on High st.

If you're thinking of dropping in on Saturday or Sunday, please note
that the best time to experience Chronox is in the evening. Just
sayin'.

And as a final incentive, this weekend marks the second birthday of
Forepaw as a venue. So, you know, come help us celebrate. We're kind
of stunned that we've gotten away with it for this long.

ALSO: Trails, our free monthly Drawing Thing, 7pm til whenever next
Tuesday the 24th.
