Fraser has been writing a lot of comics (like, A LOT of comics) and I've been, well, mostly failing to draw them for him. But I've done two! This is my very first attempt at inking with a brush. The paper was a bit thin so it bled, and my hand is way shaky. I bought a $9 brush but it annoyed me a lot and kept splitting, so I bit the bullet and invested in a Windsor&Newton Series 7. But it turned out they were on sale (that or the cashier was an idiot), plus I got a 20% student discount, so in the end it was only $10!

Sorry about the low quality; I'll be getting a scanner for my birthday. Which is tomorrow! Happy Birthday!



This other comic got published in the RMIT Newspaper! It was also written by Fraser, and got published under his name (not that I'm bitter). Everyone should go pick up a copy (it's free!)


It looked bettyer in Catalyst. Photoshop compression killed it >:(

I would like to announce that he has got a new job as a publisher/editor for a psychology magazine called Forethought. He has to wear a suit and everything! To celebrate, I bought him a baked lemon cheesecake with strawberries on top. It took me forever to find one, it seems the city of Melbourne is staging some sort of cheesecake boycott.

It's the best cheesecake! It was from Myer. My boss told me to try Laurent but they wanted $35 for a tiny one. I was like "sorry I don't love Frase that much"

I saw the cartoon in catalyst (worst.zine.name.ever) and I smiled, did Fraser used to work on Sentinel? because it looked strangely familiar; I could go around my house looking for past issues of sentinel in order to answer this question myself but in typical ex-MHS student fashion I can't really be stuffed :-P

He did used to write for Sentinel back in the day, but I don't think he did anything like this comic. More like cynical editorial pieces, which I believe make up most of the magazine.

Yeah, I did, a little bit. Unfortunately, the year I really tried to get involved was the year Jonno Bellew fucked it so hard the staff had to kick out his editorial team and bring in Year 11s to finish off the second semester. He was holding a grudge at the time, so I really got screwed over.

The worst was when Jonno got hold of something I wrote that was one-third finished, completely un-proofread, and which I had abandoned cos I realised it was trite, lame nonsense - and he published it. I had people coming up to me for days calling me a hack.

Ahem. </vent> No cartoons, anyway.

Of course! I was going to fix up the changing text sizes, but I'll probably never be bothered so yes, go for it! I was about to ask you how you are, but I see you've updated so I'll go read that instead.
