The new Precinct project
First, something unrelated: in case you didn’t know, Tony Martin and guest writer Justin Heazlewood both have new writing on The Scrivener’s Fancy, a website which appears to have popped up out of nowhere to make me happy. Good for them! Secret proj I alluded in an earlier post to a “secret project”. There’s not [...]
Talented Bastards Who Should Be Shot
Episode one in a series highlighting shitheels with skills far beyond mine. Today: Scott Vandenbosch. Check out his beautiful artwork, and tell him, from me, to go to hell.

Me, on the radio
As I’m featured in the very nice Superheroes & Schlemiels exhibition currently at the Jewish Museum here in Melbourne, they’ve kindly given me the opportunity to appear on ABC 774 this Sunday with the Museum’s Helen Light to talk about… comic books and Jews, probably.

What is The Precinct? — part three: a treasury of cop movie reviews
Lately I’ve been spending my Christmas holiday time (a.k.a. “sparse employment”, a.k.a. “between contracts”, a.k.a. “freelancing”) working on personal projects such as The Precinct and watching inspirational films/TV.
