Had some of that at Supernova recently, met some lovely people, chatted till the very last hours of it. Saw more cos players than you can poke a stick at, sold out of our comics, and came away on a high. In fact the whole month of April, building up to it was great. It seemed like the world opened up its twinkly eyes for a moment just to see what was happening.

It was the start of Fils birthday "week" where we indulged (because we can) in cakeness. He also has a new App out for the iPad that is FREE, called Zooniverse: Superficial Surgery. He's been working on it for months and now it's done. Aaaand it's beeee-u-tifuuulll!!!  Check it out here----->*<----- Look out for the next installment in JULY.

We went to the Ledger Awards the Friday night prior to the Con and were impressed by the positive encouragement and sense of community that was there. Grats to all the recipients and well done to the organizers. The Australian comic scene is quite small here compared to the US so it's really cool to see things stirring here.

Conventions are interesting, there's always the chance of meeting somebody fun, and I don't just mean stars or cos play characters, I mean "normal" people, who like comics and usually have a kid in tow who is nearly passing out from excitement. Finding out what they like to read or what shows they've seen, it's sometimes surprising to find different generations remembering your work and even bonding to it from an early childhood memory.

To finish off the month we went to a local event called the Home Cooked Comics Festival at Northcote. Lots of small press and comic creators mainly, which I really liked, because it was just about comics! We sold out of our Zooniverse stock! More have been printed since and are ready for the Oz Con in July!

Seeya then!

Off to Supernova with soon, set up tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward  to meeting all the many colorful folks like our fans of Extreme Ghostbusters, Godzilla, Tutenstein, and Zooniverse.


 

Bang! There goes half a year already. I updated a new still from a loop I did, the animation is here: www.loopdeloop.org/tag/helen-m…
I have been busy working on a comic based on an old concept of mine for the last few months, maybe once it's published I will give you a link, so stay tuned.
My latest animation for loopdeloop was the Geothermal Intestinal Fracking creature, you can find him on the link above and his image in my gallery here.
I will try to add some juicy tidbits for you when I can.

Hey everyone!

I have been a bit norty and not kept you up to date for a few months. I have yet to put up the Mad image from my animation.
In the mean time check here for Augusts animated "Mad": www.loopdeloop.org/2012/08/hel…
I will put an image up soon but until then, hope this helps your thirsty eyebuds!

In September ("History") my main computers power supply croaked and since it was bought in the US I am now currently waiting on a replacement part to be delivered. I had a back up computer which also died rather dramatically during the last day of the loop deadline and of course just this once I forgot to back up that days work on my external hard drive, so that meant no time to finish and too deflated and tired to keep going. Don't worry, I will try to work it into another theme next time! Never say never.

Currently I have just finished the latest one,"Future" which I saw a bit differently than most did, more natural, and fantastic like.
Check out the loop animation here: www.loopdeloop.org/2012/10/hel…
