Old stuff

I keep unearthing old un-finished pages that never amounted to anything, other than being excercises in craft.



This page, along with other finished and unfinished works, will appear in my new bumper book... coming very soon.

The final meetup of 2011

About 40 people turned up to this last Melbourne comic meetup of 2011, which also doubled as a send-off for Greg Gates.


Kranburn creator Ben Michael Byrne was signing his newly released comic for a fan.










I'm not sure if John Retallick is angry, disgusted, or lustful


The man of the moment... Greg Gates

Greg#1 (middle above) was a free comic given out during this meetup to ALL who attended. It features comics, words, pinups and art from many Australian comic-creators as a tribute to the great man.

The farewell dinner for Greg. Ingredients were: (1) Great company (2) Comics talk (3) A bitchy waitress

Greg Gates (above) will sorely be missed by all of us regulars who have come to know him as a friend and solid voice/proponent of the medium. When I first came to these meetups there were only a handfull of us who attended. Often no more than 2-5 people... now we average anywhere from 25-45 at every gathering. Greg's love of the medium and desire to gather with like-minded comic-nuts is the reason for it's current success.

When I first (timidly) stuck my head into these comic meets, Greg was the first objective voice to see potential in my work and give me encouragement... something I'll always be grateful for.

Thanks Greg... all the best mate.

The chronology of Bobby.N...

Working on an anthology that chronicles my self-published comics all the way until today. I've been riffling through old folders of pages that I drew in the late 90's and early 2000's. There's a fair bit of embarrssing stuff. Some unpublished, and some that have only been seen in obscure anthologies.

I'm still piecing the book together (which looks like being about ~150 pages... give or take?), but anyway, stay tuned to see my old crappy work, the stuff in-between, all the way until now.

The book will be released at the Big Arse 2 launch in March 2012.
