Sadly, lately I have to report that I have been having a lot of difficulties with my internet provider (who blames the NBN) and my NBN (who blames my internet provider). This means, in essence, I have no internet, no Facebook presence and no ability to use Messenger! This also means, I have not been able to prepare the 'From SUNBEAMS' book for an upcoming Kickstarter project as I had hoped. Yes, like the 'good old days' before computers -- I don't think! I am only managing to do this posting due to the generosity of mates Barney and Gordon (thanks, blokes)! NOT to say that in the meantime things have not been happening: the book is going to be featured in an upcoming issue of Previews (the magazine that comic retailers around the world use to place their comic and comic-related product orders). And the production of the book continues! Here's proof:
I appeared at the Melbourne Supanova Comic and Popular Culture show last Sunday, and I plan to be at the Gold Coast's event this coming weekend... with a proof copy of the book!
And comic events do not stop simply because my computer doesn't work! The Ledger Awards, celebrating 'excellence in Australian comic art and publishing', takes place in Sydney later this month on 26 April, at the State Library of New South Wales. Why not come along and celebrate all that is great in Australian comics? It's a free event! And look who's on the Short List! Here are all the details: http://ledgerawards.org/ I hope to see you there! (And I hope by then my computer and internet will be working.....) |
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. He remains the Lead Judge in the Ledger of Honour Awards for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia (formerly the Ledgers). Nat has now retired from his former 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. He still plans to publish more comics and comic-related books, the details of which you should see here in the coming months...
