News From Greg

from Greg MacKay:

I have been working on the much anticipated sequal to arachnodactyly to be named dichloestomaenia which details the slow death of an artist at war in the shed. I am also working on a novel sized comic adaptation of several historical memoirs, tentatlively titled ‘The Little Boy’ In between painting drawing and drinking.

Curiously I was an exhibition finalist for the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Prize at the Brett Whiteley Studio in Sydney. I was recently published in the Croation comic anthology FOTON alongside artists from Macedonia and France. I was also the recipient of the Wyndham City Contemporary Fine Art Award in Sculpture.

I have had one solo exhibition of painting and three group shows in the last 6 months. When I am not relaxing at the drawing desk I am hard at work restoring an old morris major automobile.

Next year I will be going to Norway to draw and paint at the Laedoemon kunstlerwerksteder in Trondheim as a part of a scholarship I have won.

I should be exciting and I hope to work on some interesting comics.

Tim [Danko] has gone to New Zealand which leaves me and my cat out here in the studio drawing. I hope you have a very happy new year and I look forward to seeing you if you can make it back over here..

Gregory
