Took time out from marking comic book assessments to pretend I was a 12 year old again, spending birthday money; found some back issues with the fantastic cartoonists @kjansonnyc @frankmillerofficial @toddmcfarlane @erik.larsen.75 and Frew @thephantomcomic at @comicbookcafe.bne . cheers for the hospitality! 🍻☕️ Go Suss them out at Albion, Brisbane.

I am so very honoured to be a 2 x time recipient of the Comic Artist of the year Stanley Award; I am proud and grateful to be sharing the 2024 honour with my good friend and fellow comic artist @deanrankine; a gentleman. We did it, man! Well done too for taking out Book Illustrator of the year as well, those Bunnies pages are amazing. I also found a few photos too; hope you’re celebrating with loved ones 🍻

I was voted favourably on the back of my #thePhantom comic work with #FrewPublications; thank you Glenn, Dudley and Rene too.

Congratulations again to the nominees, Rob Feldman in our category, and all of the award recipients tonight in Canberra, and thank you too to Nat Karmichael for the photo.

Thank you again to the Australian Cartoonists Association for this honour. I will be making a little space on my shelf. Cheers all 🍻

Congratulations to all the nominees for the 2024 Stanley Awards, I’m so happy and humbled to be named with you all. I am nominated for ‘Comic Artist of the Year’ by pros, peers and inspirations at the Australian Cartoonists Association for my Phantom work in the 75th Anniversary issue.

I’m currently teaching comics at Griffith and unfortunately can’t make it to Canberra this weekend, but hope to see friends and celebrate next time. I miss your faces. All the very best on the weekend everyone, happy 40th to the Stanleys and Happy 100th Birthday to the ACA.

Been kicking rocks over there on Bluesky for over a year, back in the “invite only” days. But it looks like the place is shaking into life. Might see you there too?
For me it’s like posting into the void of “Twitter” but noticeably less bots and d**kheads 🤷
Come over and say hi sometime :)

Lots of Marking keeping me busy, but looking forward to getting back to this story. I have about a quarter of the book to go. As I get older I think the quiet stuff is more interesting to make work in these stories than the action. #wip #screenshot #australiancomics #thephantom #frewpublications

Visited @ascmelbourne (for the first time in almost a decade I reckon?) Great store. Took all my willpower not to walk out with more. Was nice to see one copy of FLOCK #1 left on the shelf, and a gem of a book picked up that I’ve only read bits of in other research, and was on the list. Lovely customer service, and a couple of free Batman comics for Batman day. Cheers! #flockcomics #gestaltcomics #ascmelbourne #australiancomics #dayoutinmelbourne
