New Pikitia Press Website

http://pikitiapress.com/

After a few years on blogger we're moving to a new site: www.pikitiapress.com

Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds.

Posts have been sporadic here lately as I've been tinkering with the new site and the distractions of publishing but I hope to have a regular flow of comic news, interviews, reviews and blather as of next week. The Summer Pikitia Press publishing schedule will go up this week as well as our SPX debut comics which are currently popping out of the printer into my hot hands as I type this.

They'll still be the occasional update here as foolishly previously scheduled posts appear throughout the rest of this year, although eventually the bulk of what I've posted on this blog will be available on the new site. 

Thanks to all the readers and supporters, I really appreciate the support and interest in this obsession that is comics.

Te Pikitia tumblr

I'm aiming to be more active on Te Pikitia tumblr this year, trying to work through piles of material in Te Pikitia Archive. later in the year this blog will migrate to a site proper but in the meantime Te Pikitia blog will feature more text heavy posts & small galleries and Te Pikitia tumblr will focus on showcasing art. Here's a round up of recent tumblr posts.

Comics in Australian Advertising 1930's - 1940's Part Two


Part two of an irregular series showcasing comics in Australian advertising from the Australian Woman's Weekly circa 1930's and 1940's. Although uncredited it's quite possible the artists of these worked on comic books, illustration and commercial art as many artists of this era did.
