The Tango Collection

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

I recently wrote a foreword for The Tango Collection – a big fat book of comics about love by over 50 Australian cartoonists (plus a few New Zealanders, including Jared Lane, Tim Molloy and Toby Morris). The comics are selected from eight issues of Bernard Caleo’s love comics anthology Tango, each issue of which is organised around a theme (Love & Death, Love & Food, Love & Sedition, etc). The book is published by Allen & Unwin and is available now!

Western Park: Timothy Kidd’s comics online!

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Best news I’ve had in ages: Timothy Kidd (one of my all-time favouritest cartoonists ever) has been quietly putting new comics work online. Do yourself a favour and go look. If you’re familiar with Tim’s work, you’ve probably already stopped reading this and are happily over at Western Park devouring the beautiful drawings and quietly brilliant stories. If not, trust me; you’re in for quite a treat.
