Articles, Updates, Podcasts and Gold Coast interview with Geek Speak

Hi Soldiers!

Very sorry, quick updates here, I'm super busy, just got back from a Takewon-do Squad training weekend, and have much to do, In the meantime, a number of things dropped online while I was away, so let's get down to business.

- Geek Speak released their first interview from the recent Gold Coast Supanova (20-21st April 2013), with me, and I spill some beans of some current work I'm doing, thanks to the good folks overseas; including Mr Goldmann, Mr Brewer, Mr Aushenker, Mr Babinski, and good mate Mr Sequeira. Look out of more stuff from the expos here soon, I have a few people to thank and photos to drop on the blog.



- Pikitia Press did a quick question to good mate and fellow comic creator Jason Franks, asking us about 'Productivity and motivation'. Since this is a huge thing in my day to day, week to week routine, I hope some of you get something out of this, not just from a comic-making sense, but in whatever activity you're trying to do well, and goals you're trying to reach in life:

And thanks for the recent mention in 'Paper Trail' for April 21: http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/paper-trail_1531.html

- Whatcha podcast just released their latest episode entitled "Whatcha Anzac-in"- in which they pay tribute to our Anzacs, talk all sorts of pop culture, and announce the winner of their 'Soldier Legacy Comic Book' competition: http://whatchapodcast.podomatic.com/entry/2013-04-28T01_36_28-07_00 They were also kind enough to review Chris Sequeira and I's 'Soldier Legacy's Strange Tales #1' and gave it '2 thumbs up!' Thanks Dean! (Jump to 33:20ish)

Big, big thanks to Nath, Dean and Michael for their enthusiastic support!



- More great news regarding Andrez Bergen's 'Who is Killing the Great Capes of Heropa', featuring a little mention of me and the image I did for the novel; Cheers again, Andrez :D

UPDATE: Brisbane's local channel '31 Digital' just uploaded their Supanova special episodes, where I was interviewed briefly by 'Doctor Who'. Many thanks to Kris and the Crew, who I saw and caught up with on the Gold Coast last weekend as well, and very much appreciate their support:


That's it for now, Diggers.
Chat soon, and thanks again!

Mentions on Pikitia Press- Australian and New Zealand Comics and Cartoonists


Matt Emery, cartoonist creator of  the hilarious 'The Guzumo Show' (shown online and published by Black House Comics), hosts a wonderful blog site called 'The Pikitia Press' which covers a massive range of current and past stories of Australian and New Zealand comic books and cartoonists from a wide range of genres and disciplines. Enthusiasts could easily spend hours trawling through the archives to see an awesome range of images, interviews and articles, and easily a quality hub of past comic mentions. In our scene, which is almost void of proper critical and academic coverage of Australian comic book history (apart from John Ryan's wonderful, but out of print "Panel by Panel", and Kevin Patrick's 'Comics Down Under' blog), Pikitia Press is a great addition.

Mr Emery to my surprise has been kind enough to mention me, and this blog linked once or twice:

UPDATED- Sept 9th, 2012: A little mention of a then recent blog post, plus links to the updated website: http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/paper-trail.html

Sydney Supanova Australian creators pics: http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/sydney-supanova-2012.html

And a mention of this blog's recap of the Sydney event, complete with THAT wankery photo of me and 'The List' writer and good friend, Paul Bedford: http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/paper-trail_22.html

Matt must have snapped my mug during a happy conversation with a friend or fan, including a stack of Australian creators, and good friends : http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/oz-comic-con-melbourne-2012.html

Also, a brief mention of my OZ Comic-Con recap here, complete with a photo of me with the fantastic Doug Holgate http://pikitiapress.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/paper-trail.html

Thank you for the mentions, Mr Emery!
