Melbourne Cartoonist Centre? The Standard Hotel in Fitzroy this Sunday 29th Nov. Bring Opinions!

A few people have been tossing about an idea of having a space dedicated to comics in Melbourne. I've put my hand up to say - let's get this going.

The current vision as I see it is for a place where there are studios for10-12 working cartoonists to rent, a gallery space for exhibitions and launches, a space for workshops, talks and jams, a shared library of comics and books about comics, possibly a sales outlet for comics and art by the people involved.

So come along all ye cartoonists/comick… Continue

The Example - Tom Taylor, Colin Wilson

When Melbourne playwright Tom Taylor decided he wanted to turn his 2005 short play The Example into a graphic novel, he got short shrift from illustrators he sought to contact on an internet forum. They were wary of getting involved with a speculative project. Taylor finally got a sympathetic response from artist Colin Wilson. It was stroke of luck. Wilson, an illustrator with more than 30 years of experience, has worked on cult offerings such as anti-hero Judge Dredd from British comic 2000 AD, Star Wars comics and French detective fiction. Finding an artist with a style to match the content is not easy, says Taylor, 34, a long-time devotee of speech bubbles and the picture grid. "With comics you're trying to create a full story and you can't do a really deep, philosophical, hard-hitting piece with a guy who draws a predominantly cartoony style; it doesn't work if it's Daffy Duck."
