[from Kieran Mangan]: As Kieran the “Comic Book Drawer” there are some contradictory points to be
made about 2003 – I did not put pen to paper all the long while, not really
even once, except when I did some drawings of rabbits and bears for a 5 year
old and also later for a 3.5 year old. So it was that I instead (of comic book
creating that is) wrote a film script about a girl who cannot differentiate
between reality and fiction. I also made some music which may or may not be
available one day and also worked an extremely dull job in a windowless
office.
BUT I’m back on the Braddock Band Wagon this year with the upcoming Love &
Hate Extravaganza Explosion at Early Gallery in Collingwood, along with many
other Silent Army Ranking Officials. Though more on this later. With this as a
start, I will hopefully be executing a whole lot of pen and ink nonsense this
year, though time always shows if the fruit is ripe enough to fall from the
tree.
I will be talking at the Make It Up Day thingo at the Melbourne Town Hall on
the 24th of January, for anyone who is interested in hearing half thought out
concepts regarding autobiographical comics. Other than all this, keep checking
www.silentarmy.com for updates on all our literary philandering.
And remember, it’s the Year of the Monkey, and that’s just gotta be good.
