It’s at Melbourne Town Hall, from 12pm to 5pm.
I’ve got a bunch of new zine plus plenty of old favorites. Come and visit and annoy me if you can.
There’s too much ordinary being sold as extraordinary.
I’m working on a new zine for Elizabeth JMW
Actually I’m working on two. One based on her grandparents story in WWII, and this, for a story called The Maze. I read Elizabeth’s zines a couple of years ago and asked if I could do some illustrated versions of her stories. Then I kept on getting distracted. But I’m hoping to get this done soon. You can find “The Boy Who Owned The Forest,” which I actually finished and her latest zine 398#12 which I drew the cover for, by clicking on the picture.
Hopefully there will be more really soon.
Eveleigh Markets this Sunday the 3rd
I’ll be having a stall at the Eveleigh Artisans Market this Sunday the 3rd of Febraury, 10am to 3pm. Come and say hello. It’s the first of the year. And maybe my last. I’ll see how I feel.
Bookbinding
I’d just like to thank all those who came to the bookbinding workshop I ran. It was a pleasure, and all your hard work made my job easier. I hope you learned a little and have fun filling your notebooks with writing, drawing or whatever you feel like.
I’ve started a new page where I will put information about bookbinding. There is a link to the NSW Guild Of Craft Bookbinders, who have lots of information on where to buy supplies. I’m thinking of starting a blog about bookbinding too. Stay tuned for more.
For those of you who are interested I will be at the Eveleigh Markets in Darlington, not far from Redfern Station, on Sunday the 3rd of February. Come and say hello if you wish.
Bookbinding for kids
I have been roped in to give a workshop of basic journal binding at Haymarket and Ultimo libraries on the 23rd of January. The classes are for 12 to 18 year olds, but sneak in if you feel like it. I don’t care. For more details click the picture above, or check details below. I think that all the spaces have been booked out at Haymarket, but there are some still available at Ultimo.

So much for doing less this year.
Welcome the new year

Very soon I will be putting the finishing touches to the Waffy Waf epic with my friend Scott Gibson. We’ve both had enough and want to get it out there. We’re going to lock ourselves in a room until it’s done or we’re dead. Most likely the first. Keep an eye out for details.
Special delivery
I thought I’d try and go commercial and make a new Christmas card for this year, but as far as I can tell I haven’t sold one of these. But I think it’s more to do with the fact that it doesn’t say “MERRY CHRISTMAS” loudly on the front. The picture is based on a woman I’ve seen around Redfern who rides a bike and has a bubble machine set up on the back so she shall have bubble wherever she goes. Saying that, Rosina tells me that she thinks it’s the person who is officially gender neutral. But I left my version as a woman, or a cute guy in a dress, or just a person.
Nothing
There’s nothing to report as I have no plans. No markets. No exhibitions. Just bumming around the house, continuing my sabbatical.
For those of you who need last minute presents, my ETSY shop is stocked up, and I have calendars and T-Shirts available on Redbubble, and for those really last minute purchases you can always go to Platform 72 or Earth Kid, where I have a few items for sale.
