[Events] Cardigan Comics Tango 9: Love and War launch

tango-collection-invite
Growing up in Australia in the early nineties I was the neighbourhood tomboy. I did everything I could to keep up the boys, this included finding the best and most limited edition comics I could get my hands on. I recently discovered Australia has a abundance of independant comic book publishers.

Tango has been published almost annually by Cardigan Comics since 1997. Since the third issue, each number has had a sub-theme: ‘Love in Melbourne’, ‘Love and Death’, ‘Love and the Senses’, ‘Love and Sex’, ‘Love and Sedition’ and ‘Love and Food’.

Tango is a showcase for a range of Australian comic books. Each issue of Tango presents comic strip stories by experienced and emerging Australian comic book creators. The Tango project aims to promote and develop the world of Australian comic books.

Who: Cardigan Comics Tango 9 Love and War
What: Tango 9: Love and War comic book launch
Where: Dante’s in Gertrude Street Fitzroy
When: Thursday 10 December @ 6.30pm

[Featured Artist] David Shillinglaw

toothtusk
David Shillinglaw comes from England and can paint like a mother bitch. He was kind enough to answer some questions despite having two exhibitions, preparing  for another exhibition in Japan and yawn you know putting the finishing touches on a book which is soon to be released. I find it hard to believe this guy sleeps…

[Sydney] Leeloo - Once Upon, art Exhibition aMBUSH Gallery

once_upon1

To celebrate Leeloo’s 2nd birthday and their support for Australian artists, over 30 creative ladies and lads of oz are all busy currently creating works for Once Upon, a fairy tale themed exhibition to be opened at aMBUSH Gallery on Thursday 19 November.

Each artist has been allocated their own fairy tale to interpret into four original and new artworks all of an A5 size to exhibit. I’ve been given ‘The Golden Goose’ not to be mistaken for ‘The Goose That Layed The Golden Egg’, which has been a bit of fun and just the other day I packaged up the works and sent them off care of the fairy godmother; Australia Post.

Artworks will be available for sale, and from Friday to Sunday and there will be a Leeloo “pop-up store” for you to have a hands-on look at some of their gorgeous online goodies and to even buy some to take home with you.

Get Adobe Flash player

(Leave it alone. By the Focl’s)

A group of geriatric anarchists are giving the Sex Pistols a run for their money and ruffling a few feathers in the little ol’ town of Colac. Members of the band ‘The Focl’s’ (Friends of the Colac Library) are causing disturbances in council meetings and vexing in the recording studio to express their objection toward plans for a new and improved library. Somebody call ‘Lawsie’…
