from Kirrily Schell:

Comix projects:

Secret Squirrel- a little cluster of comics and sketches that have been selected from various journals spanning the
last 3 years.

Wide Arsed Mole #5- Adventures with Ferret Face, Dorothy, Pertinance and the rest of the Squitters gang.(NO! I don't believe it!)
Yes its true. I wrote a big fat script for WAM#5 in 2001, which has since evolved into a script for an animation...For now it will be housed in comic form. No official deadline as yet, though I am thinking I'll be getting alot done by July, as I have a little Masters essay due round then (ie: drawing a comic is a magnificent way to procrastinate whenst an essay is due).

Animation - Sending 'Toots' to animation festivals aroond the
woorld.

Other animation projex? Lets hope so. http://www.comicslifestyle.com/schell/animation.htm
Everytime I draw now I want to animate the character! I hope to have a few interactives happening by the end of the year, as I have a couple of ideas that stem from projects I did at the AIM studio this year.

There you go, a light sprinkle of my comix endeavours for the New Year.

Mikal Fikaris: BIG BOOKS

Froth/Pumice

from MPF:

hey jimmy
those pix look awrite awrite and here's some details on 'em if you dare care...

These are some of the 333 photos taken at the closing party for 'the hands of braddock' show, which was the launch of froth/pumice split comic book/record and 4 new posters by aaron.
The opening show also had a stall manned by nat 'n ali and a live show from pumice.
those shots are coming soon...

1)18 drummers by stefan
2) froth corner w/ nick potter's head
3) l-r elron (lcd), stepchild and the butcher (jihad against america)
4) l-r aaron,paul (panel of judges) and stepchild gettin' hasty
5) devilshark plays fer the kids (the idea was to go buy a pack of smokes from the milk bar, but the extension chord was a bit short) with a chain mail vest, ruined strings and LOUD backpack amp.
6) some of the 'jams' from a slide projector that was on the wall fer people to use and abuse.
7) froth/pumice jam piece from previous day w/ tim's new comic to the left.

2004 for froth will become more evident after the first month, but tentatively,now workin in a print room, i have big plans to print BIG BOOKS, namely proan/urgh and a new pure evil anthology by the end of the year.
Already, intact fer shows is the next silent army groop show at early gallery, (february 20th) with over 30 comicists(currently being curated with lachlan, kieran and aaron) and the dark woods exhibition which kicks off in Hobart on the 13th of feb.

And, yes, the new silentarmy collection, still in progress, will be finished in the first half of 2004.

yer

happy new year arsehole. xxxx

Froth / Pumice Show

DevilShark outside 7th Gallery, Melbourne Australia.


Also, sadly the departure of Tim Danko for New Zealand. Could signal a new era though for trans-Tasman collaboration.

Break Out the Champagne

My New Years' Resolution:

Do a 20-30 page comic in Khmer to be printed and sold on newsstands in Cambodia. Show the look, feel, taste and smell of life there.
Translate into French and English.
All else beyond that is Gravy.

Maybe apply for Xeric Grant. Do a site for the Pox Girls. Travel to Australia, if $ allows it. Learn some French, beef up my Khmer.

* * *

'Resolution' is a piss-poor term to describe plans, goals, ideas, but I guess it's the term that sticks. What's your comix plans, dreams, threats, manifesto? Where are you at, where are you going?
Email it to me and I'll whack them all online for New Year. Pictures are good, we like them.

In the States until the 4th. If you want one, I've got copies of Indonesian QuickDraw #5 and other goodies.
