Welcoming Katie Parrish

Katie Parrish

Katie Parrish will be joining Rebecca Clements for this Thursday's Ladies' Drawing Auxiliary.


The recently published Victoria Drug Scene anthology, edited by Simon Hanselmann, features Katie's work.

Katie plans to live out the rest of her life "drawing inconsequential comics about wobbly people."

2013 Ladies Drawing Auxiliary Is Go!

February

Rebecca Clements

Everything kicks off 7pm, Thursday 28th February.

We promised you Rebecca for October last year, but circumstances were against us. Now she is returning. She has a swag of comics under her belt from recent months of toil after her year sabbatical of not making comics. Why did she stop making comics, and why has she started again? We will find out!

Also we are very excited to announce the following presenters for the coming months.

March: Melanie Matthews and Sarah Firth

April: Susan Butcher and Carol Wood (Pox Magazine) and Marijka Gooding

November 2012

Lindsay C. Walker

Jodie Webster and Elise Jones from Allen and Unwin

More event info on the November facebook event page.

Questions for Lindsay

• How did you get into doing covers and illustrations for The Phantom?
• You have done work as a comics colourist, any tips regarding this process? Do you have any favorite colourists?
• The pages you have previewed so far online from your graphic novel Tales From Half-World are wordless and work quite successfully on a worldless level. Do you find imagery for scenes come to you first or do the scenes grow out of writing a script?

Questions for Jodie and Elise

• What makes editing a comic book or graphic novel different from editing a more traditional illustrated book?
• Nicki Greenberg produced 100 pages of The Great Gatsby before taking it around to publishers, this seems excessive for a pitch, what are some more realistic parameters for pitch material?
• What are some of your favorite scenes/pages from the books you have worked on?

Regrettably Rebecca Clements has had to withdraw from next week's LDA. In her place there will be a screening of a talk by a lively American lady cartoonist. Rebecca will be rescheduled for an LDA in the new year, stay tuned!

 Lily Mae Martin's talk will go ahead as planned.
