 This year, I've been going to a few different Festivals to get the Comicoz message out there. In fact, so many, I seem to have run out of time in one way or another, to have them all recorded on this Blog. (Although, those of you who read my Facebook postings, will have been kept reasonably up to date.) Rather than tagging on the coat-tails of my beloved Australian Cartoonists' Association as I have in the past, I have actually paid to be at Festivals in my own name this year. In some way, it has allowed a greater number of people to see the books and comics I have published over the years.
Next Sunday, is the most public of all Events that I will be involved in, along with another 32 other participants... Comicstreet. For public exposure, I don't think you can get any higher amount of public traffic than in Brisbane's Central Business District's Queen Street Mall. Here's a map of where to find me (Table 30, on the Stage), as well as a list of everyone else appearing between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. I had planned on releasing a Media Release to shout about my excited involvement in the Event, because I am also releasing the first copies of Issue #8 of OI OI OI! (with the fabulous Frantz Kantor cover) to the general public, but the last few days have seen me hit hard with the Flu and I have done nothing except slept in bed. As a result, Subscriber (and artists') copies that were supposed to be posted this week have been a little delayed, and my plans to broadcast the information to the world have fallen flat. Still, I am grateful that I am feeling better, and that I am alive to work on subsequent issues and other comic activities in the weeks ahead... |
Comicoz is Nat Karmichael's publishing imprint. Nat is committed to preserving a permanent collection of Australian comic and comic strips. He feels that there is a need to recognise comics' contribution to and depiction of Australian culture.
Nat Karmichael.
Since 2011, Nat has self-published over twelve comic-related books and was Publisher-Editor of Oi Oi Oi! -- the last series of nationally-distributed comic books of original stories to appear on Australian newsstands. He is a member of the Australian Cartoonists Association and edited the Association's journal Inkspot for 14 issues from late 2015. For numerous years he has been the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). These days Nat dreams of retiring from his occupation as a Clinical Nurse in the Psychiatric Emergency Centre in Queensland's largest public hospital, so that he can spend more time with his long-suffering wife and their six children and fourteen grandchildren. And perhaps publish some more comic-related books.
