I’ve printed up a new bunch of greeting cards

It’s always hard for me to choose what to take. I suppose I need some sort of market curator, but nobody’s offered. It’s kind of nice that people like much of what I do, but also frustrating, in that I sell small amounts of everything. So I need to bring every thing, every time. I sometimes wish I could be all pleased with myself with the one genius idea I had, like I see others do. But then it wouldn’t be me would it. So these card will be with me this Sunday at the Enmore Curated Markets. Details to the left.

I’ve also got a bunch of postcard packs. One of Cats, and one of my finest art, according to me this week. Next week will surely be different.

 

I’ll be at Enmore this weekend.

I’ll be having a stall again at the Enmore Curated Markets this Sunday the 11th of August. It’s at the back of the Vic on the Park Hotel, 2 Addison Rd Enmore NSW, from 11am till about 4pm. And for all you drunks you can grab one of your fancy boutique beers too I suppose. Saying that it’s fine for kids as it’s not in the pub, and you can pretty much avoid the drunks.

I am going to start a rant of things that get to me. But today I feel to lazy, so you’ll have to wait, but I made this little picture as a header.

I think my first rant will be about how I’m expected to be a business person and make money out of art. why can’t I just be pensioned off and draw in my room all day.

Looks like I just started.

The English Gentleman

I saw this picture years ago in a backpacker in Rhodes. It’s one of those things that just astound me. I mean who the hell thinks of these things. And not only that, They get a chimp and a woman to pose with it, photograph it, and then print a bunch of posters, and then who the hell buys it. Well the guy at the backpackers we were staying in did.

It all just leaves me bewildered.

So I painted a picture of it.

Of course I did.

From memory. It was before digital cameras, so I didn’t take photos of every single thing.

And I called it The English Gentleman.

It’s beginning to stink.

It's beginning to stink.

How do I make my way onto the old gravy train?

This picture is based on a bit in my first novella. I’m currently working on a new edition, to print at home, as I used Blurb to print this, and it doesn’t cost that much but the postage is a killer.

Buy it HERE

So I might use this as a cover for the new edition.

Get my new zine with Katie Haegele this weekend

KH - 09

 

I’ve made a new zine with one of my favorite zine makers. The notorious Katie Haegele from Pennsylvania. It’s the story of a little Cheetah-print dress, but as with here stories it’s always about so much more. Zine fairs, unrequited love, relationships, and where you feel at home.

Get it from me this Sunday the 7th of July at Eveleigh Artisans Market, in Wilson Street, Darlington – 10am to 3pm. Come and say hello. I’ll need a bit of cheering up.

New zine out now

My latest Zine is a collaboration with the legendary Katie Haegele. She wrote the words and I did the pictures. I’m very excited about this. You can buy it off me HERE, or if you’re in the States you can buy it off her HERE.

I’ll also have it at my market stall next week. But I’ll annoy you about that more later
