First order of business: it’s almost time for Comikaze24, where a bunch of us attempt to draw a 24-page comic in as many hours! Festivities are over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, so it’s time to start figuring out where you’ll be working on those pages!
If you live in Blacktown and are between the ages of 15 and 24, perhaps you would be interested in the upcoming zine workshop series at the Blacktown Arts Centre! Said workshops are being taught by zine master/baron Leigh Rigozzi, so you know they’re gonna be good. The workshops run on three Saturdays, starting from June 6, from 11am to 1pm. They’re free but you will need to sign up for the full program by calling Kate on 9839 6385.
Other bits: our next meetup is on the 13th of June at the Mars Hill Cafe and Supanova Sydney is from the 26th to the 28th of June. Crazy things are happening at Creative Sydney in the next couple of weeks. If you aren’t a member of Comics Lifestyle or We Make Zines yet, you should go take a look!
Adrian Kinnaird has started a new blog following comics and pop culture in New Zealand. He’s reporting on locally produced comics, as well as comics-related events … (Free Comics Day in Onehunga, etc). He’s also made a really beautiful banner for the site (see above)! Let’s hope Adrian also posts some of his own very fine comics…
