Yes, we know a Tintin movie is coming. Yes, it's by some guy. But we Heart Tintin, flat! The comic book character born on paper in 1929 and still alive there in 23 completed books and numberless panels, outliving his creator Georges Remi (d. 1983) and any number of dumb films. We've been reading him since before we could read, we dream about him and his little white dog. We are Melbourne comic book artists.
WOUAH!

Hobart Chugnutters do Performance

Hobartians Chris Downes and Josh Santospirito (Drive West Today) are hoping to compete bigtime with Sydney's "Graphic" in a couple of weekends time - putting on a comic-esque performance at the second annual Sound to Light night.

With Chris doing the drawing and Josh making the sound and music it should be a ghost-story more gory and delicious than ever viewed before!!

August 20th at the Long Gallery in the Salamanca Arts Centre building.

Anyone in the vicinity of the 'end of the world' should drop in!

Free Comic Book Day

A bit over a week ago I was reminded that it was going to be free comic book day (FCBD) today. As I've been playing around with downloadable digital comics, I had an idea to round up some comic pages from fellow comickers and offer it as a free download.

I know FCBD is about getting people into brick and mortar stores but I think it's also about getting new readers into comics. Why not digital comic then!

This is the result,

 -download here-

It's basically a PDF file with dimensions that are perfect for an iPad screen but can also be read on your computer or any other device that reads PDF files.
It's totally free to download and you will be able to match the artists pages to an to their names by using an index at the front of the book; as well as links to each creators site.

I'd love to do this again sometime in the future, and I look forward to hearing about what you think.
