Check out the next big thing in stencils, postcards and stencilled postcards !

I'm pretty gone right now as I post this.
Hey Andrea, I went to the toilet while wearing your glasses.

Naughty.

Nobody ever touches my enchanted wood :(

Fnarr Fnarr !

The first book I did along with these entries owe everything to James Kochalka Superstar the first and best daily sketchbook diary keeper. So please check out AmericanElf.com.

Merry Christmas.

A few notes:
The pic is grey and black because that's the colours of Chicken George.
Yeah, my hair has started doing that sometimes.
My christmas was quite unchristmasish.
I do realise there's already way too much blogs where people talk about their cats.

Update:
Today I saw Chicken George indoors twice.

Also today I got the new Previews and read there's a new FILLERBUNNY coming out and that Junko Mizuno makes toys (how did nobody tell me that ?).

.
Yeah I started again last week.
We'll see how long it lasts this time.

Vote Zombie

Maybe the flier for my show.
It might change though.

No more sticker gallery :(

One toilet stall at the Nash used to double as a gallery of stickers, all of them mine except for one "obey" sticker.

Last saturday I went back there for the first time in months and they were all gone except for one lonely beegirl sticker. It made me pretty damn sad until I saw the above graffiti. It belongs written on a pencilcase in liquid paper.

REVIEW OF SEXY PING PONG FOR PS2.

Too much ping pong, not enough sexy.
It's still a genius idea though.

This is where I would put a picture or a link so you can all be amazed by the sexy ping pong, but all I found was someone selling it on ebay.

They did write this though and I swear I didn't change it :

Game Features:

Work in progress.

Trying not to post too much pics from my next show. I want them to be surprises. But I need a little help with this one.

Click on the untitled mafia picture

Is it too obvious what was actually on the wall and what was photoshopped ? No fair if you know where the photo was taken.

Help the aged.

So the Geelong Arts Alliance is invited to Ian Trezise MP for Geelongs Christmas party tomorrow.

Last year me and my friend Julie got there way earlier than anyone else we knew. So I turn to her and say "We should leave, it's all old people." Then I turn around and there's an old lady right next to me definitely in earshot. Then again, they have some pretty shit hearing.

If anyone asks what the Arts Alliance has planned I'm gonna have to shrug and say "Dude, I'm just a kid what draws zombies."

Project : City A-Go-Go !

I remember this one time I was a giant God-rilla (they're like a lizard monkey) and I got to destroy a whole town !

Check out City A-Go-Go !

Empty bar.

Ryan took what is possibly the last photo of this particular beard. I've got funny hair and I'm listening intently as Glen describes the staple machine they have at Wilsons.

das Totholz !

I found this guy in an old sketchbook. He's slow like a zombie, but he could punch your whole damn head right off !

little jack

Remember when he was chasing that grasshopper around and he met that girl ?
That was cool.

How I spent my offline time.

I'm still going through my old crappy comics before selling them, that's where I found this picture.
.

Am I imagining it or is that really really rude ? Don't try telling me it's accidental either.

Remember Finbar Saunders ? He would've loved this !

Also this weekend I wrote actual letters. I'm talking stamps and envelopes like an old person.

what the hell ?

I call my internet people because I can't log in anymore and the guy tells me someone over there cancelled my account because I haven't been using it, which is nonsense and I can't get it sorted out until Monday morning.

Sorry to anyone that's tried emailing me this weekend. Can you believe I caught the first bus into the office on a sunday just to check my other email ? Something's wrong with me.

Dangerous Bomb ! and Baby Tank.

I don't know about real life, but I remember that in Bomberman if you and your friend kick a bomb at each other they join to become a "Dangerous bomb". The Dangerous Bomb is one of the coolest things in the history of the world ever because it has a skull and crossbones on it and they let their presence be known by shouting out "Dangerous Bomb !" in a little kids voice.

I so badly want to hear that again right now.

I also do stencils

.

I lifted the image from one of my favourite comic panels of all time. It's from an early Starman comic drawn by Tony Harris. I kinda screwed up the fingers around the handle.

The photo was taken by Glen Smith in an alleyway behind 13 Star Street when the old HUB Gallery was there.

about the second year...

I get asked about the second year of the Non-Stop Sketchbook about once a week now. I have to admit it used to give me a bit of a high, them not only wanting to buy my stuff but wanting to read my most self-indulgent stuff.

But now when someone asks about it I feel guilty for waiting so long, partly because of cheapness but mostly out of laziness. I also get scared that nothing could be worth that long a wait. Do you realize I finished the actual drawing of it in March ? That's insane !

I don't know how much a promise from me means anymore, but I promise to try and have it out by April.

Sorry again.

meow

Been a good few days, got my first Christmas present for the year (the talking Gary in the pic), got a haircut, made final arrangements to get a Nintendo DS and watched the Incredibles !

Click here to see the very first thing I ever used my scanner for.
Don't ask me for a splanation though.

A winner with a wallet.

Holy crap, I came second AND third in stripfight ! It's a Chrimpus time miracle ! Thanks to anyone who voted because I'm pretty sure I forgot to. Also thanks to Tailsteak and Enigmata for drawing/writing our strips.

You want to see what my wallet looks like ? Of course you do ! (it's right at the bottom of that page.)

"No, he don't work here !"

Went to a few clubs and bars in Melbourne last night mainly so we could stop talking about going out to Melbourne. I saw alot of things you don't see in this town like punks riding their pushbikes from the pub and a girl with bunny ears and tail getting busy with a french maid.
Punkrock girls are still a novelty for this hayseed. If you have coloured hair, a plaid skirt and/or nerd glasses you fuckin rule ! You know what else ? Heavy metal t-shirts and hair like Tank Girl.

Old comics.

I wish I had something else to whine about, but boy am I sick !

Recently my folks moved house so all the comics I was storing at their place are now in my tiny flat. Today I stayed in bed trying to read some one last time before selling them, but then decided they're pretty unreadable.

It's nice seeing new Evan Dorkin stuff though it's alot "friendlier" than I'm used to. I had the Milk & Cheese tattoo strip in my mind where they tattoo the last supper on that guy using broken beer bottles. You won't find that in the Sims.

From the land of boogers.

I'm a little better. I can now breath through my nose again and talk out loud without hurting ! That's all.

Sick.

Superhero HQ via Rollins Rd.

I got two pieces for my show done today mainly because I was too sick to do anything else. I've gotta start thinking of a name for the show so I can work on the flier. I like the sound of "Make up some Shit" but I don't think it'll get in the papers.

New stripfight round is up. It's the second switch-up round, meaning i've written one strip but drawn another. I've totally forgotten how to make links but the url is : www.bentcomics.com/stripfight

Being a disgrace.

I had a great friday night up in Melbourne. I was there to see my friend Belindas' exhibition and to wish her a happy birthday. Getting drunk with these particular friends again made me feel like I had time-travelled back to when we were in high school and none of us had beards.
I woke up the next morning at Mijos' place feeling okay but maybe still a little wasted. I walked from there to catch the tram stopping only once at the park to catch my breath.

Once on the tram I did what has to be the most awful, horrible, horrible thing I've ever done. It most definitely wasn't on purpose.



If you ever see vomit on public transport and wonder "What kind of filthy human would do that ?" The answer is me.

Sorry.
If it makes anyone feel better I also got some on my favourite shirt.

cunt burger thompson!

I learnt the dates for my upcoming show and it's pretty damn soon. A while ago I did the above picture of my friend Mijo, I really want to do more like this and I figured my show is a perfect excuse.

So I sent Mijo and email saying this :
Do you mind if I use that picture of you playing live for my show ? I'll even let you name the piece whatever you want.

His reply :
Yep, use the pic, bro, baby doll. I think i'd loike to call it......cunt
burger thompson! Yeah, thats beatiful maaan.

Do I have the balls to actually call it that ? Or will I chicken out and call it C. Burger Thompson ?

The Perks.

Quite often I get invited to openings and art related parties etc. I'm not important or anything, it's just that I'm in a small town and I know the right people. This is probably the biggest perk to doing what I do besides the fact that I'm doing what I love.
Well anyway, I've decided to start reviewing these things.

Tonight I went to the closing of some Arts Forum thing, where the artists of the city get together and whine about what needs to be done.

Boredom level :
Man, there was alot of repetative onstage talking. The smart thing was each table had paper covering them and two packs of crayons. It's so much easier sitting through speeches when you're drawing a pirate ship in crayon. My favourite thing I saw written on our table was "T.V. is art - Watching is best".
In an attempt to pass this off as a christmas party they also gave us bon-bons. I came home with two green lobsters, two spiders and a cowboy all on keyrings.
Food & Drink :
The first thing I got was a nice looking roll with a generous amount of ham. Only once I bit into it did I discover that for whatever reason it contained a slice of pineapple, seriously breaking my "keep fruit and meat" seperate rule.
The highlight was the chicken on sticks with some kind of mustardy sauce. I don't care what's going on with the other food, it can always be saved with either chicken on sticks or pizza slices.
Also worth noting that it was the first time I've seen scones as part of a food table. Are scones a christmas thing ? Or were these people trying to start some trend ?
Drinkwise I behaved myself by only having one glass of red wine, I just wasn't into it. I feel I should be apologizing.

So, the speeches were cancelled out by the crayons and the fruit in a roll was cancelled out by chicken on sticks.

Here's a photo of my friend and boss Dave's part of the table.



I don't know what's going on there. You can see my stuff is upside down at the top.
