Illustration Friday

Posted on July 14, 2007

For those of you who haven’t clued into Illustration Friday’ yet, give it a go. It’s a great way to test your skills and push yourself. Just do a drawing, web it up somewhere, post the location on IllustrationFriday.com, and watch the comments and vistors stream in.

[I tried to keep kosher by doing a page-length comic based on it during the first 6 months of 2006 but the sheer time involved (that and doing it bilingually) led me to drop out after June. http://www.qdcomic.com/archive.htm ]
If I continue, I’ll stick to sketches!

Everyone’s got one

Good lord, Colin Wilson’s got a blog.
 
Having worked in the UK and commercial Euro comics, he is pretty much off the radar of the indie-DIY-longarm stapler set in Australia. He makes money from comics though; might be worth a look.

TANGO 7 update

Posted on July 4, 2007
Dear friends and comic book makers,

in case you are just finishing off your Tango7 piece, or despairing 
because that end of June deadline has passed, do not weep but rather, 
re-grasp that pen!

We now have a launch date – September 28: it will be part of a comic 
book art exhibition in the Melbourne Fringe Festival, more information 
to come later.

So, the deadline has been re-set to July 31, which will give us time 
to get the book assembled and printed.

So, there is still time!  Finish your piece!  Start it!  And have it 
in to me by the end of the month.  I have already received a wealth of 
great material for this issue – as I say each time, “This is the best 
one yet…”

Be part of it.

The contributors’ info is here:

I look forward to seeing your work.

Regards,

Bernard

Artists for Asylum

Posted on May 15, 2007

I am a volunteer at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), which isAustralia‘s largest asylum seeker assistance organisation. We run almost completely on community donations, fundraising efforts, and have over 800 active volunteers. If you wish to know more about the centre you can go to www.asrc.org.au or just ask me anything you like!

We are running an art auction on June 29th, specifically for cartoons and
illustrations (hopefully political or asylum seeker related). I am hoping
that you may be interested in donating an image (or more than one…we can
be greedy!) to this project. We are hoping to have a wide range of cartoons
and illustrations, and to make a good profit for our human rights programs.

The deadline for supply of work for the auction would be June 15th
(although if the work is framed it could be later!) I hope that you’ll be able to help us out.

Regards,
Bec

‘I Knew Him’, Act 1 Scene 6

Posted on April 17, 2007

Hello all,

If you click on the link below you'll be dropped at the beginning of
Scene 6 of Act 1 of 'I Knew Him':

http://www.cardigancomics.com/iknewhim/comic.php?page=24

For new readers (or indeed old readers) the navigation is pretty clear
if you want to go back into the story and get some sense of what has
led up to three people meeting underneath the John Medley building at
Melbourne University late on a Monday night late in May 1996…

If you'd like to be added to the 'I Knew Him' mailing list there's a
place to sign up in the 'index' part of the navigation.

Okay, that's enough – I need to keep inking page 30 so that it's not
another 6 months before I post another instalment.

Yours,
