Sorry, I’ve been sick all week and I’m woefully behind on Owltober. I’ll be at Armageddon Pulp Expo this weekend in Auckland on Sunday afternoon and Monday. I’ll also be at Kraftbomb in Grey Lynn on Sunday morning. Some of these owls will be for sale as well as a minicomic of our various short stories (all of which you have probably seen). Here’s Frank’s owl story:
Bladebeak is known for his Bladebeak, a sharp spike of a beak more reminiscent of a metal triangle than of cartledge and bone. However, a particularly bombastic moment in time has been captured above. Bladebeaks undergo a genesis when they reach a certain undisclosable age (it has sworn us to secrecy). For a solitary moment, they witness the beginning of time. They are unable to communicate this to us because it is beyond all comprehension. This sadly includes their own comprehension, as you can see by the vacant expression, slack tongue and googly eyes on this specimen.
Googly-eyes make me respect illustration!
Yeah, when I think of illustration all I can think of is all of those people who take it too seriously. I just want to use glitter and googly eyes on things. I wish you could go to Geoffs in NZ, it is like a micheals and a Big Lots combined and all of their craft supplies and fabrics are from the 80s and it just makes me want to add 80s fabric and lace onto everything.
