Gone Fishin'

So I'm thinking about a bit of a re-haul for this site. Just a tweak here and there. Get things into order and organised. I guess I'll be back in about a week.
In the meantime, I've been looking at comics (as research for my artist's book & graphic novel class at uni) and re-found an old favourite.

I Harth Darth stopped being produced in 2005 - but the whole series is still up to view. It's a wonderful miniature comic about the lesser know aspects of Darth Vaders life. I leave you with some classic I Harth Darth to make you chuckle until I return.

I had to make the images smaller to fit in the blog. You can view the full size strip here.

GONE FISHIN'

Darth was vexed. This was so difficult. Kill a youngling? Sure. Rule a galactic empire? Sure. Groom a cat? Sure! These were things he could do, but tell his son about the facts of life? No. Emphatically no. How was one to begin? “Son. there comes a time in every young man's life when he begins to feel a strange disturbance in the lower side of his Force.”
Maybe he would just recycle the midichlorian garbage he was fed. It was so much less embarrassing.


Meanwhile back on The Deathstar, Leia flourished under the watchful eye of her well-meaning, though slightly senile Uncle Palpatine.

Maybe We Have Met Before - Kick Gallery

I went along to the opening of the "Maybe We Have Met Before" exhibition at Kick Gallery in Northcote. All of our favourite Illustrators were n show: Andrea Innocent, Brooke Bobridge, Catherine Campbell, Coralie Kane, Eveline Tarunadjaja & Sean Morris.
It was a crowded packed in little opening with a great atmosphere. And the pieces looked fantastic. For me the standouts were the paper cutouts from Catherine Campbell. The attention to detail and the combinations of colours were beautiful. If I'd had any extra cash I would have snapped one up, but alas - I could only look.
