  • Comikaze this weekend – 24 hour comics challenge

    Make comics. Make comics fast. Make comics with good company (virtual or there may be physical outposts in your area).

  • 5am Melbourne – After the Emerging Writers Festival

    The Emerging Writers Festival is over. I had a rocking good time. Met some lovely people. Had the brain juices stimulated, challenged, soothed and had some of my wackier ideas encouraged! Beware.

  • Post Workshops

    Well I’ve finished all my booked in workshops. Wow, what a ride, what a rush. I’ve been delighted by the artwork that has been produced by my students, and how they have learned a lot more about telling stories with their art. It’s been rewarding to challenge confident students to new levels and have shy…

  • The year that was

    So where on earth did this year go? It feels like it has been a fairly slow year in terms of generating new creative content, but I think I’ve done ok. This year seems to have been the year of actually getting out there and talking to people about my work. As an end of…
