Fitzroy Victoria, Australia

 

Finally there’s another launch happening in a few weeks. 15 new books are being released, making this the BIGGEST BIG ARSE launch so far! it’s pretty exciting stuff, so if your are around Melbourne and need to get your nerd on and get comic culture savvy, you should check it out. The poster is more than just a lure.. it’s stuff that makes me want to draw till my eyes bleed from exiting my drawing cave, dehydrated and messed up on coffee. This amazing and sexylicious artwork is by Marijka Gooding . Check her site, great lines and strokes to take pleasure in on there!

 

Besides all the delicious loveable comic book nerding going on, I am excited for another reason also. One of the 15 books being published at this extraordinarily awesome event is ‘Yuck!’ issue 7, where you will be able to find a long lineup of talent, concocted into a slimey and hideous brew of madness and cold sweat ALL IN A BOOK! and guess what.. there is a little piece of me in there.. nothing too ghastly like a severed toe or anything, don’t get too excited.. maybe some bodily fluids in the ink though. That could pass. The cover is by Ben Sea, I can’t wait to smell this thing:
