Mini Paper Trail


Mat Tait adapts Wagner's The Flying Dutchman for the Goethe-Institut New Zealand.

Mat Tait: 
It's presented a number of interesting challenges, the main one being the question of how to turn a stage production with limited settings and relatively static action into an engaging comic. I decided that rather than do a complete transformation of one form into another, I would try to play on the fact that the original material was made for the stage, and create large comics panels which would act as an analogue for stage sets through which the characters could move, interspersed with panels that work in a way more familiar to comics.

I believe the secret behind Steve Rogers prolificy creating his auto-bio comics at American Captain stems from a work ethic cultivated whilst growing up during the Great Depression.

Melbourne Comics Meet Up April

 
Today after chess in the Carlton Gardens I strolled down to Melbourne comics meet up at the Prince Alfred Hotel in Carlton. Phil Bentley schooled me up on some of the 'boundary pushing' Australian publications of the sixties and seventies. Also had an interesting seven degrees of Colin Wilson discussion with Colin.


Some recent European work by Colin Wilson.





Colin's second instalment in the Jour J series.

Paper Trail


Pretty much everything Darian Zam posts on Long White Kid is fascinating to me and in many cases tangentially related to New Zealand cartooning. This recent post on establishing dates for a set of cards showcases some beautiful work done for the Four Square Supermarket chain.

A favourite of my mispent youth, David Tulloch and Simon Morse's Straitjacket Ninja.



The massive 230 page anthology Blood and Thunder #2 is three-fifths of the way to its Pozible campaign target with six days to go. Still time to get on board what is likely to be the most beautiful risograph produced publication this year. Pozible here.
