Joe Matt interview (thanks to boxbrown ) And anohter one here on the daily crosshatch This interview is take 2 as the first one he was complaining about not having money and they took it down at his request...

My now complete and up to date collection of Reidsrow's comic 'High maintenance machine' ;)

Just picked up ‘Vampire Loves’ . I’ve had my eye on this book for a while now as I originally brought the first chapter of the story when I was traveling through Quebec. I was in a bookstore there and saw this book and had to buy it, even though it was in French. I’ve poured over that first book looking at the panels and Heather translated some parts for me as well. But now I have the complete series in one book and in English. I can’t recommend this book enough, the art the colouring the story is all great. I still have a few pages left to read but I’m dragging them out and savoring every panel. I’ve also been told (and also from what I can see) that the publisher ‘first second books’ produces a very high standard of books from comic artists around the world, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for other books too.

I went to the physiotherapist yesterday which went well. I felt relieved after as I could put the problem into context and had a strategy to deal with it. I’m going to try to stop drawing over the next week whilst I use other techniques to start helping it to heal. I’m just so relieved that there’s something I can do to get better. If anything good has come of this it’s the realisation that I shouldn’t take my drawing for granted. It’s such a big part of me and how I express myself. I like to think that I can work in various ways but when it comes down to it, I’m a drawer I love drawing I want to keep drawing…

Hey I know it's nerdy but I just stumbled on Pentel's website . I really love pentel equipment. The hi polymer erasers are excellent for erasing pencils but keeping inks intact and I also love their white out pens and glue rollers. Apparently they've also got blue lead for pencils... In other news I'm 'bacheloring' it this week, as Heather and her parents are on a week long trip to Tasmania. I've slowed down on my comic at the moment which is mostly due to some minor RSI pains that I'm not really sure where they're coming from (either computer or excessive drawing...) and also I'm trying to catch up to myself as I'm currently around 2-3 pages ahead. Which brings me to the tooncasting, how is it working out from your point of view the reader? I guess if you checked the comicspace gallery once a week you'd have a decent read...
