In the spirit of the New Year, and much beer…. Aaron O’Donnell presents
Colour cover, BW inside. All drawn while so under the influence it’s surprising I could hold a pen. An experiment delving into the artistic side of the mind of a retarted
alcoholic three year old. 24 pages.

is pitching a proposal for Cambodia comics teaching August 2004, hoping to have enough $ to bring another comics teacher.
from everyone’s favorite goth, Che Gilson
This year I resolve to get rich and famous, submit more scripts to comic book companies. (I finished and sent the one to Dark Horse and if I don’t hear back from them in a few months I’m sending it to AP.)
I resolve to do SOMETHING with my art. Although I’m not sure what. I should resolve to learn more about the computer. And it’s application for art. (I’ve picked up a little already!)
I resolve to educate myself. Read more classic literature and books on science and history.
Submit short stories to magazines and maybe even start work on THAT novel.
I think I have more but I forgot. I probably should have written it down.
I also resolve to acquire a gothic/lolita wardrobe and WEAR IT IN PUBLIC!
Okay…I think that about does it.
Maybe if I feel really ambitious, I’ll buy some language tapes.
That’s IT for Che Gilson

from Greg MacKay:
I have been working on the much anticipated sequal to arachnodactyly
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..

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.
winxaplenty,
Kirrily
