My ACE! Exhibition in Chengu, China @ 27th Jan ~ 29th Feb 2024

Posted on

Every year, I’ve been part of the ACE! exhibition, which is an Australian Comics Exhibition held in partnership with the Australian Consulate-General. It’s organised by Illustrate Your Life, and in previous years, it’s been held in Thailand, Germany and Poland. This year, it’s held in Chengdu in China, at the Fang Suo Commune @ 27th Jan ~ 29th Feb 2024 with free entry.

Here are some photos of my artwork, and of the exhibition hall for 2024. Thanks to Jakub from Illustrate Your Life for organising this, and for the fantastic photos!

Manga Workshop for FCBD

Posted on

I’m doing a manga workshop for FCBD at Manly Library, which is at 1 Market Place, Manly. It’s on the 6th May @ 1-2pm, so drop by if you’re free that day.

I used a video I did to post the announcement. It’s actually a Clip Studio screen recording, which when sped up and drawn in a certain way, looks like limited animation. It took a bit of planning, like the previous video with the girl in kimono I posted.

“Beating the Loneliness Monster” – Part 3 in Youkie Magazine

Posted on

Part 3 of “Beating the Loneliness Monster” is in Youkie Magazine‘s April 2023 issue, which is co-written with niece Kelly Tao. The final issue of Part 4 will be out in the July 2023 issue. Meanwhile, this issue also has a 6-page short story by my good friend Julie Ditrich (Writer) and Angie Spice (Artist) called “Fade”, which is a fantastic look at girls who get too drained when they are too much of a people pleaser.

I recently had a go at screen recording my art in Clip Studio Paint, and discovered that you can do some fun animation stuff with it. A lot of work, but fun to play with.
