“Sciensatics” in the new Going Down Swinging
I forgot to mention at a useful or appropriate time that I’ve got a comic in the recently released issue (#30) of the venerable Aussie literary journal Going Down Swinging! It’s called Sciensatics, and it’s a somewhat freeform gag on various interesting cult-type “religions”.
I’m only posting about it now because the mag got reviewed in [...]
Uncle Eddie makes me think, Precinct art for sale
This blog post by animation artist Eddie Fitzgerald made me think!
Also, I uploaded some Precinct art I did for an exhibition last year to RedBubble so they can be purchased as little greeting cards and nice art prints:
I’ve bought a couple things myself so I can see what the quality’s like. I’ll let you know. [...]
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.
We’ll be on around 10:30am, speaking with Alan Brough, which will [...]
Comic Book Funny: recap
We did another four sessions of COMIC BOOK FUNNY. In week one, Jo Waite, Sarah Howell and our audience enjoyed a bit of low key chat, tea and cucumber sandwiches while they drew pictures of sexy comics men Neale Blanden, Pat Grant and David Blumenstein (me).

Cop Action Video, + Rove
As of today, I’m the director of Cop Action Video, Pty Ltd (ACN 134 271 042), the production company for The Precinct.
So that’s nice.
Also, I worked at BigKidz on a little cartoon for Rove Live, on Channel 10. Someone has kindly popped it on YouTube…
OK for a rush job!
MIPCOM: wrap up, fun stuff
First of all, thanks to Aaron at Cold Hard Flash for for whacking our pilot up there! It’s much appreciated.
And as I said on the front of nakedfella.com, check out Rove this Sunday for a bit of animated fun from BigKidz. Sounds like my stupid side jokes even made it in!
MIPCOM is pretty much like [...]
Too many free drinks?
No, I haven’t been indulging in free drinks at MIPCOM. I’ve been eating free food. Reviews of this food will follow one of these days when I have more time at the internet cafe terminal and I don’t have to poo so bad.
MY VERY QUICK MIPCOM REPORT:
1. Not having anything to compare it to, I [...]
It’s just business
It’s been an interesting month!
Our second travel grant from Film Victoria came through (International Market Attendance), so Woody the Producer and I are attending the MIPCOM film/television market in Cannes to spruik The Precinct, among other projects. I’ve never been to a non-English-speaking country OR a five day networking frenzy, so this should be an [...]
