What I Did on my Holiday

Sorry to be quiet for so long, but the truth is I'm avoiding the computer at the moment, in order to do more writing and drawing. Anyway, click on the picture to read the NZ Herald's account of my trip to France late last year. It was wonderful - not least because of the vast amount of quality French food we were force-fed by our very generous hosts! Oh, the literary side of it was good too, of course...

Particularly interesting for me to catch up with current goings-on in the Franco-Belgian comics scene (in short: manga are HUGE! and there's a ferocious argument going on over the future of 'independent' B.D.). Picked up a big stack of interesting new (and not so new) albums, and also a few alternative manga books that have never been translated into English (e.g. this book by Kazu Yuzuki).

Anyway, back to work...
