Inkspot is the Journal of the Australian Cartoonists' Association, and I am honoured to be the Editor. In the past week, I have been madly editing the next edition, so it is out before Christmas. I would dearly love YOU to become an Associate Member if YOU have a passion for cartoonists. (Or even a full-time Member if you are an Australian cartoonist, in any of the above categories.) Simply send me an email to comicoz@live.com.au and I can send you a Nomination Form.
Next year's Award Ceremony is going to be held in Canberra, and I am going to begin to lobby to have the 2018 Awards held in Queensland... |

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.
