Hello everyone,
It’s been a crazy week already. This page was hard to pull off. I knew what I wanted in my head, but actually drawing it, proved to be a real challenge. Hopefully you like it!
I’m away to Australia for a couple of days. My wife and I will be taking in some sights in the “Lucky Country”. As such, I have a guest strip lined up for next week. I’m looking forward to that!
Hope you are all well!
Thanks for reading!

Hello again.
This comic is late. My apologies. Hopefully it was worth the wait. I spent some effort trying to make this one work. Then life got in the way of art. As tends to happen from time to time.
How is everyone? Good I hope. I can’t believe we’re at the end of August already! Where is the year going?
Thanks for reading!

Hello again,
This page wraps up the flashback scene. I hope you liked that segment of the story!
The weekend was awesome. Aside from the crappy weather, of course. Saturday was spent at the Auckland Zinefest in St Kevin’s Arcade. It was a really great event. So many people braved the bad weather to come out and support those of us who were there selling. It was amazing. I hung out with my man, thisisrabbit and we were both overwhelmed by the supportive people who stopped by our table. If you swung by and said “hi” – thanks so much for making it a memorable event. I’ll blog more about this event later in the week.
Thanks for reading!

Apologies for the late comic!
I knew it was going to be tough this week. I had a house guest. A good friend was up from Christchurch. We don’t get to hang often, so I made sure I was the host with the most – but I had to neglect the art to do so.
We hung out. Played some video games, and took in a couple of Shihad concerts. It was awesome. More on that in the blog later this week. How was your weekend?
Reminder: I’ll be at the Auckland Zinefest – Saturday 14th of August (THIS SATURDAY) at St Kevins Arcade, here in Auckland. Come out and say “hi” to me! All details can be found here.

Surprise in two different scenarios today. One in the story, and the other being, I have made a double sized comic this week.
Hopefully you enjoy the extra effort with this one. I had a few distractions over the course of the week, and got started on it quite late. However, I did get it finished. What a relief!
The weekend was mostly spent on this comic page. I watched a couple of movies while doing so. It was just chilled and nice.
Look at this monstrosity that my wife and I ordered from Sal’s! If we were gamers, we would have unlocked an achievement on finishing this (albeit the next day as leftovers).
This week is super busy. I’ll try and get a comic done for next week, but there is a possibility it could be late. I’ll do my best to get it up on time!
Also. Reminder: I’ll be at the Auckland Zinefest – Saturday 14th of August at St Kevins Arcade, here in Auckland. Come out and say “hi” to me! All details can be found here.

Hey all,
How are things? So it was Comic-Con International this weekend just past. Did anyone go? If so, what secrets did you learn while you were in sunny San Diego? Please tell me, I must know! It’s been a while since I have been to Comic-Con. I miss it a lot. I have made friends there, and had some of the best experiences. It’s like nothing else. If you did go, I hope you had a great time of it!
So what did I do since I wasn’t at Comic-Con? Nothing exciting I’m afraid. I looked after my wife, who had touch up iLasik surgery on her eyes. She had to go in again for a minor correction. Then, to test them out, just three days later I took her to see Inception at the IMAX. Ha ha! I should have thought that decision through before hand. However, she survived with only a little fatigue and dehydration (it was a long flick).
It was enjoyable. That is all I will say, as enough has been talked of it on the internet already.
Finally, did everyone see this latest homage of Adam by my friend Matt? Matt has a new website full of art up, please go have a look see.
How was your weekend?

Is it me, or did that weekend go by fast?
Spent most of my weekend doing stuff around the house and working on the comic, but I did get out to see my second Film Festival screening. I’ll have more about that in a post tomorrow.
Meanwhile did you see this blog piece I did last week about two different artists doing their interpretations of Adam? If not, please go check it out! Both of these guys rocked that shit out!

Maaaaaaaaan! It was really cold this weekend. It was one of those weekends where you kinda didn’t want to do anything because it was actually just too cold. The best idea is to cook a piping hot meal and stay inside.
Friday night we hit the first movie on our film festival hit list. We saw “Exit through the gift shop“. It was most excellent. Pretty entertaining. I recommend you go see it with friends! While there was a main story the film followed, it was really interesting just from an artistic perspective to see some of the artists at work. Including Banksy, Invader, Shepard Fairey and more. Worth the cash!
Congratulations to Spain on winning the world cup!

Hey all,
Man, it was a close call getting this comic done. Too much partying on the weekend cut into my drawing time in a big way. I put in a big effort over the last couple of nights to see it all through though!
How is everyone? If you’re in North America, did you enjoy your Canada Day or Independence Day?
Let me know!

Hello all,
Amazing. I was able to complete this page in time! It’s a special “double sized” update today. I had this story hit me, and I knew I had to draw it, but for me to communicate it effectively I needed the extra space. Even though I was very sleep deprived working on this page throughout the week, I really enjoyed it. Hopefully you do too!
This weekend I was in Christchurch. A winter break in a colder city is never something I aim to do. It was just a quick trip to catch up with my brother. We had a bad run for food on Saturday – but it was quickly made up for by an amazing breakfast at Drexel’s restaurant on Hereford Street in the city.
This colossal breakfast burrito took care of me until 4pm. It was totally worth it.
Hopefully you had an enjoyable weekend as well.
Thanks for reading!
