25.01.2022 Team - this time of the year we should be knee-deep in planning and program announcements for ACAF V3, February 2021. But with 2020 being the gift that keeps o...n giving and seeing that there are all sorts of cons going virtual these days I'm exploring options for what we can do online given that really, no one can tell us where we'll be in six months time. Certainly six months ago we didn't see being here. SO - I'm asking you - please give us your thoughts, best talks you've seen online, great ways others are doing things, suggestions, and of course - cautionary tales of what not to do. Love to hear from you - and remember that we can go global . . . the possibilities are endless!!!

08.01.2022 Hey guys! It’s with great pride and joy that we announce #aussies4comics. We are a collective of comic book artists and illustrators from all over Australia. Ou...r mission is to raise funds for Australian comic shops that are doing it tough due to the impact of COVID-19. This support will be through a series of daily art auctions that will take place over the next few weeks, and once finalised, we will be splitting the profits evenly between selected brick and mortar comic shops across Australia. This will be a one-off no strings attached lump sum payment. Comic shops are an important part of our community. We’ve watched our peers and fellow creators, led by Jim Lee, pour out support for their shops across the United States. Our cousins in Canada have been doing the same for their shops, too. There was no way we could just sit back and not support our local Aussie shops! Without further ado, here is a list of the artists and creators who have donated their time and original art to kick things off: Nicola Scott Art Tom Taylor (Tom draws a mean Batman!) Colin Wilson David Yardin Jon Sommariva Mark Raats Dean Rankine Al Barrionuevo Jeffrey Cruz David Dunstan Marty J. Abel Wayne Nichols Mike Krome Lily McDonnell Stewart McKenny We have seen what everyone is cooking up, and this is an art auction event you will not want to miss! Want to help us? Please do! Like and share this as well as our auction posts. Help spread the word, and especially dig deep (if you are in the position to do so) in the auctions. The auctions will be open to worldwide bids, so we welcome all our international friends to take part. Are you an artist who wants to get involved? Please contact Jon Sommariva. This Sunday, 3rd of May, we will be doing an epic Facebook livestream, where you will be able to ask questions live, hang out, see some behind the scenes art and hear tales of comic shops from most of our featured creators, and perhaps a few special surprise guests. Let's show some love and support for our local Aussie comic shops together! Thank you, Jon Sommariva #Aussies4comics
