A slight bump in the road.
August 15, 2010No Comments
Well we got turned down by Gestalt, who were our first choice for publishing the book. It would have been nice to have the backing of Australia’s premiere graphic novel specialists, but it’s not the end of the world. In fact it’s really just a tiny pothole on a dirt road for the rolling road [...]
Breath Bait – Takes the Air out of your Lungs
June 18, 2010No Comments
We’re waiting with baited breath for word on publishing. Ryan’s drawing and inking. The pair of us get confused then unconfused about bits and pieces. Ryan’s freeing up my script, breaking the layouts I did and making it look better. New comic writers: I overdid the layout and angle descriptions because I didn’t know who [...]

If there’s an australian artist I could equate to the energy of the early Todd Mcfarlane Amazing Spider-Man comics, it would be Paul Abstruse. Anyone who’s met Paul knows he’s the rockstar of Australian comics. The look, the fashion, the quirks and the enthusiasm. There’s no-one like him, and few could soon forget meeting the [...]

The Lord Bramble Gorgeouston (that’s Paul Abstruse to you) has been kicking ass with the pages for the backup story for the upcoming KILLEROO OGN, here’s a peek at a few panels. I’m looking forward to inking these bad boys.
Chapter 3 didn’t know I was coming. It didn’t have the foggiest idea death was coming. As it sat watching late night TV, half asleep with cheezels in its belly, I slid in through its open window. The night had been hot. Sweat beaded on my brow. The program on the tube flicked over to [...]

Ryan Wilton has gone above and beyond the call of duty again, by creating a clay sculpture of Killeroo. It is perhaps the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. See for yourself! More photos are available at his facebook gallery here
A Reprimand

Predictably, I have much to learn. Today I was lightly reprimanded for giving too much detail on posture and stance during a discussion on a character’s design. These are the things I learn in the face of naivety. I was told such details should be left for those moments in the script. Indeed they are [...]
Killeroo is the creation of Darren Close, all around comic geek, freelance designer and poker tragic. His parents are so proud.
