It’s happening

When I was in Melbourne earlier this year for the Sticky Zine Fair, we were staying at a friends house. We spent the evening watching My Kitchen Rules, probably because we could talk over the top of it and nobody would get upset.

Anyway there was this brother /sister team from the Sunshine
Coast. My friend (who is gay) was getting really upset with the brother and all his mincing around, playing up to the camera. My friend said that he must have gone through some kind of slang dictionary to find non offensive exclamations of frustration. Now I know people (I must admit I kind of do it too) who make up sayings hoping that they get taken up by everyone and you can feel that somehow you’ve influenced how people talk.

Last month I was teaching some teenagers how to make some handmade notebooks, and there was a bunch of girls who were friends all sitting together. I had taught them something and was approaching them to say to come up and see how to do the next stage. One of the girls was not quite getting there and trying to rush, and her friend said “Calm the Farm!” And all I could think was how many people would be upset that this little half-wit of awfulness had now influenced that language of our youth.

There is no justice.

I probably over exaggerated, as I think I sold three of the original print run, of 10, but yes, it’s back!

Other Goose, familiar and unfamiliar nursery rhymes. Get it now on ETSY, which has been terrible of late. It used to be pretty good, but now when…

Hey someone did a picture of me. Someone who’s never seen me but somehow knows.

I’ve done that on occasion too. Draw someone I didn’t know.

Not walk around nudey beard like this with a Wizard hat. To be truthful this is how I wish I looked.

Waffy soup, from Waffy Waf and the big dream screen, from my worst seller of the same name.

Oh well.

There are some new exciting things coming up, but as nothing is set in stone, I’ll keep it under wraps.

Thank you to the few brave souls who made it to the last Eveleigh Market(deluge). You made my day. Hopefully the next one will be a bit drier. I have…

Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:29:58 +1000

I’m off to teach kids how to make books / zines today. Plans were changed and I’m teaching the 5 - 12 year olds today, so we’re not sure how good their sewing skills might be. So I had to rustle up some easy stuff, and made this one pager to get the kids to make and colour.

So I thought I’d put it up here for you to print and make. if you’re not sure on how to make these, instructions are in the second picture. Basically you fold along all the dotted lines and then cut along the bold line, then fold to magically reveal your amazing zine.
