Happy Easter AND Happy Birthday to Aussie comic book legend, Gary Chaloner!! Paul and I sat down with Gary at ACAF to have a chat about his life in art/comics, going way back to his early art school years, newspaper strip 'Jeff Little the Smiling Policeman', his run with imprint Cyclone Comics, learning on the go with the development of the direct comic book market in Australia, Jackaroo, working for publishers in the US, work with Ashley Wood (Judge Dredd, Medieval Spawn, Zombies vs Robots), Darkhorse Downunder - Aussie anthology, work/life/family balance, web comics, and his work with Will Eisner. There is some wonderful wisdom in this one for anyone working in the comic book industry, especially in Australia, including creating networks to get work, rolling on from project to project, practice makes perfect, talent will only get you so far, and as you already know, you need determination, drive, and a partner who is willing to help make those tough life decisions. Thanks again, Gary! Hope you are having

Australian Comic Arts Festival (ACAF) Kid Phantom Q&A panel that turned into a casual chat/podcast on Sunday 11 Feb 2018... Who was there:  Dr. Paul Mason (Artist), Andrew Constant (Writer - not murdered!), Glenn Ford (Frew Publishing), Robbie Miles (Producer/Fan), Antonio DiDio (Fan/Emotional Support Officer), Trevor Clark (Fan), Luke Geaghan (Fan) & Amanda Bacchi (Moderator)... and several other unheard audience members!!! What we discussed: - The 'Comics for Kids' panel earlier in the day - The success that has been the first 3 Kid Phantom issues - Background into the writing and art of the book - How the stories have been set up and how/why - Influences - Costume drawing - A little history of kids comics (internationally speaking), engaging with a young audience - Popularity and differences in the different models of distribution: subscription, newsagent & comic book shop - What the fans are looking forward to!! http://kidphantom.com.au/

As we sat in the drawing room at the Australian Comic Arts Festival, the topic soon turned to zombies and survival (AKA why the kids in The Walking Dead are doing it all wrong). Politics were discussed, as were tanks, our own strategies, and a few of the different comic book/tv takes on the issue. Christian Read will probably be ok in his mountain lair, Paul and I are joining the boys from his Thai kickboxing gym who catch fish in the Brisbane River from bows and arrows they make themselves, and joining us at the end there was Trevor Clark... not sure where you are from sir, but god speed! *The name of the BBC zombie show we couldn't remember was 'In The Flesh' ;) Recorded: Sat 10 Feb 18, Drawing Room, Australian Comic Arts Festival, Canberra.

Chatting Westworld, Monkey Magic, Black Panther, Deadpool, Han Solo, & Lemony Snicket!!

But, all in all, fun times! Haha. Let's do it again next month! Topics: Deadpool & Han Solo trailer breakdown Black Panther Review (kinda non-spoilery, but not?!)

Post Australian Comics Arts Festival, Monday afternoon chat with the gents from Gestalt Publishing! Justin Randall (artist - Changing Ways, colourist - Eldridch Kid) and Gary Proudly (writer - Proud Heart) discuss the relaxed nature of the convention, and how it was more a natural creator space than the usual convention sell. It was great to be surrounded by people who were so engaged in learning aspects of the comic craft, with there being so many aspects they were able to pick up themselves as well (with particular note to the 'Pitching Comics to Film' panel host, Robbie Miles). ACAF was a solid reminder to all comic creators both in attendance as guests, and as participants, that while we may be separated by land, we really do care about each other and our industry.
