Hi all!

Welcome to the beginning of Chapter 5! My thanks again to Robin Hotter for the comic last week. It allowed me to get a few days ahead and take an extra day off. It was like having a long weekend, or something?

This past weekend my wife had me booked in to see a doco flick that she wanted to see. It turned out to be a really interesting movie that was screened here as a part of the World Cinema Showcase that Auckland put on. The film was called “Bill Cunningham – New York” and was about a legendary street style photographer of fashion in New York City, surprisingly enough, named Bill Cunningham. It was a pretty engaging watch. Bill Cunningham is a really cool guy, who is now in his 80′s and still riding around Manhattan on a bicycle, documenting clothing that he finds interesting. He has a great affable quality about him, and I admired the way he never compromises his own morals for the sake of money. If you get the chance, and the subject matter interests you – check it out!

Meanwhile, are you a social media fiend? Don’t forget you can keep up to date with ActionMan Adam on the official Facebook fanpage. Or if you want, you can keep in check with me via Twitter, Flickr or my Tumblr blog as well as the comments section on this site.

Thanks for reading,
Marc

Just dropped off the custom cover to the guy who purchased it off me. It was really cool catching up with him. Plus he worked in the city, and I rarely visit inner Auckland these days. Looking around there were some changes. Including a whole new skyscraper that apparently came out of nowhere? I should have taken a photo of it, now that I am mentioning it. Sorry for my spectacular fail there!

In any case. Now that he has it, I can post the progression of how the custom cover came together. Obviously I was selling something physical, so I went old school on this one. Pencils, inks, and the colour markers to finish it off. The “Hey Ladies” is really me just thinking that, if Adam were to have a song that would represent him “Hey Ladies” by the Beastie Boys always comes to mind. It’s such a good banging track.

Now I’m back in the house. I have a cold Mac’s Gold beer in hand. The weekend has begun.

Fuck yeah.

Don’t forget, I only have limited stock of the custom covers at present. If you would like one, you can hit up the store.

Thanks for reading!
