Life in March

Above is an excerpt from the latest page I inked. I hope this shows that I moving on with the book.

2008 is just moving man!

It's all been pretty good so far though. I'm finally getting a good roll on with the comic stuff again. The last month or so has been insane. I've been taking a night class here in town for screen printing. Which has been great. I had a rough idea on the whole process. As I did do it about 10 years ago, but mainly the course has taught me about all the subtleties involved. It's been really good. Hopefully this experience will allow me to get some good results, and some new art work which I'll be able to sell on at shows or whatever.

Speaking of shows. Armageddon Wellington and Christchurch are both coming up really fast. Unfortunately this year I won't be making either like I was intending to. The reason is good though. I'm getting married to my lovely partner. I'll be thinking of you all though, and make sure if you are in one of those two cities, that you go down. Enjoy the show. Maybe throw a little love the way of the other NZ comic creators who will be there.

I'll be looking at the Auckland show for my next appearance. I'm aiming to have the comic done by then, and I think I am on track to get it done too.



Henry Rollins is coming. This guy is funny, smart and entertaining. I am so looking forward to seeing another talk by Mr Rollins. He is a good speaker, his delivery is so enthusiastic and his knowledge about music is amazing. I saw him a couple of years ago when he was at the Big Day Out festival, but it wasn't nearly enough, by the time his set was up, you'd really only just begun to settle into the proceedings. A proper headline show is long overdue. Excited about that.

I have a few more things on the go too, but I'll blog about them down the track.

Hope the year is treating you well too.

The bootleg next to the original. A spot i found in Wellington and had to hit. I'm only responsible for the "submit" sticker. As I did not get my Obey Giant stickers till I had arrived back in Auckland.

Stickers are in!

Got these bad boys in on Friday. They look fantastic! Really tight job on the registration work from the printers. Gotta give a shout out to my friend Richard for the hookups. Cheers dude. They look great.

If you would like a sticker. Then you can email me at amacomics@gmail.com. Easy done. I'll hook you up. Three designs which you see here on this page. Two in this post, and one in the previous.

Also. I'm attending Armageddon Christchurch 14-15 of April. The weekend after Easter. If you are in the garden city. Please come on down and say hi.

A week after that I'll be in the Windy Capital. Wellingtonians please do the same. I wanna meet as many people as possible.

Wellington 21-22 April.

I'll have my preview comic, badges, stickers for sale. I'll also be sketching for whomever might want one.

See you all soon!

So finally, after a year of very minimal activity am I updating the look of the ActionMan Adam blog. Its still a work in progress. I'm working on getting some new images done for the next shows I'll be attending.

Working on some new stickers, a new banner for the website, I've got badges being made up. Should be cool. I'll also have some way cool tee shirt options coming up with all that too. I'm thinking I'll have a flip book at the con, so people can see the design they like and then order it if they want to.

So if anyone is reading this blog, or happens to stumble across it. Come back, and I'll have some cool new stuff up sometime within the next month.

Meanwhile. If you are planning on attending either Armageddon Christchurch (finally), or Wellington then make sure you swing by. I'll be there selling the preveiw comic i made up last year. The aforementioned merch from earlier in this post, and I might even be sketching on hand too. I'll be at both events come April. Flights are booked.

Look forward to seeing you there!
