 WELL, it's about time!
I have decided to re-join what was once the Australian Black and White Artists' Club and what is now known the Australian Cartoonists' Association... I have enclosed (for the web-site and for fun) copies of my last Membership Card and my business card from the 1988 to 1995 period when a very different "Air Hawk" publication hit the news-stands. You can read all about the Association here: http://cartoonists.org.au/?page=202 I suppose when you look at the posts over the past year, it seems that it was only a matter of time that I would re-join, as cartooning, cartoonists, comice strips and books have been a life-long passion for me (to varying degrees at different stages in my life). Although the decision to re-join has been only a gradual one, in reality. But I never left the Club with any bad feelings back then; it was simply that there was a lot of things going on in my life at the time (not that there isn't now, mind you!!), and everything was distracting me from what I was meant to do in Life - publish comic books! (Yes, perhaps with a bit of Grandiosity, I really believe that!) Speaking of which, the book John Dixon, Air Hawk and the Flying Doctor is now at the printers! And there is something else I have been meaning to do for a while and I am hoping my next posting details that.... Stay tuned! |
