Sorry, I know its been a while since my last Blog...altho James is pretty proud of himself I believe! Between the various things that Life has me doing lately, time is really of the essence! But I did think I would quickly show you the Art release we had at the As Iz Art gallery yesterday in Portarlington Victoria. Tags, Masks & Fishblood : This is a new release of some amazing works by our Gallery curator, Christopher Duffy. If you live in Victoria, its worth a country drive to Portarlington for a look. If you are further afield, have a look at our website on www.asizart.com.au As usual we had a good crowd attend, and their appreciation of the brilliant Art on display was obvious! But I do have to ask you all...Who do You think the next painting here looks like? Who is she?? 5mt mural 'Awakenings' Work in progress. Chris' sensual paintings have incredible depth, and the characters of each stand out. Gaze into their eyes and you see a deep reality ...

Lifa at The Grand Hotel in Portarlington Victoria Australia is about to change. There are new owners, new inspiration and a renewed vigour to the place. But still, the characters who frequent this iconic Aussie country Pub remain largely the same. Tourists do stick their heads in the door, wide eyed and eager, searching for the legendary Knights of The Round Table. These guys drink at the same table every day of the week and are a large source of inspiration, both for my cartoon series as well as for those that seek them out in real life.  Work on the first complete series of cartoons is still underway, but here is one of the animated versions for your enjoyment!  As one of the characters at the Pub will always remind you , with one of his endless quoted witicisms:  ' I drink, therefore I am' Have fun!

I have mentioned before that I am working on a book which is based on the Nights at the Round Table with the Knights of the Round Table. The Round Table is the hub of the locals at The Grand Hotel in Portarlington, Victoria, Australia. Over the past few years I have been working on a cartoon series based on the local characters who frequent the pub and The Round Table. What you are about to see here is a proto-type World Premiere of the animated version of just one of those cartoons. The Book will be a few months off. In the meantime , keep a lookout as we release some of the cartoons here!   The "Cinematography"  / Editing is the brainchild of Lindsay Ellis who is also one of the main characters in the cartoon series.   Lindsay is also the Owner / Operator of  Hogan Print  in Portarlington, as well as the Publisher of The Port Report, the local Newspaper where this series of cartoons began it's Life.
