>Book launch and exhibition opening: 6-9pm Wednesday, August 18, 2010
>Artist talk: “50 Years of Cambodian Comics,” 6:30pm Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Java Café & Gallery – 56 Sihanouk Blvd, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Java Arts’ new exhibition ‘QuickDraw’ is exactly that: a collection of short comic art vignettes by ‘Jinja’ (AKA John Weeks) in English and Khmer. You’ll see observations on daily life as well as musings on larger issues of living in the Kingdom, garnered over a period of 10 years. Copies of a 30 page color comic (also bilingual) will be available for sale and signing by the author. The opening is Wednesday the 18th, 6:30 pm.
In addition to the exhibition, an artist talk on Cambodian comics history (‘50 Years of Cambodian Comics‘) will take place on the 24th (in English) with emcee John Berkavitch. All are welcome to learn about this little known chapter of Cambodian art history.
Postscript: a few launch pictures. More to come!

Old School Melbs used to diss The Avalanches / We came armed with pens we don’t take chances
Musos claim ‘underground’ is what they present / we ‘toonists’ so far deeper than Cave Clan in descent http://bit.ly/a5kOST
Some might call cartooning ‘spurious’ / Chugnut don’t give a f**k ’cause they’ve barely heard of us
Obscure ignored and poor / if you don’t like comix my boot will show U the door
@andrewfulton draws whatever he cogitates / ordering an Ipad cause that s**t can’t wait
Jo Waite with the goggles, lush with the brush / castigates teahouses that don’t understand much http://bit.ly/ar7IYu
Fikaris rocks the stencils / all his drivebys be done with pencils
Formidable ORD to be feared / cold rockin’ gobs of fuzzy beards
Kinokofry / draw what she espy / damn site is Fly
The haters be saying comics stinks / they get rubbed out erased by@inkwinks
He’s ‘review proof’ gives critcs a world of hurt / step back for the motherf**in Gerard Ashworth
Some might assert their blandishments / Neale‘s ‘Beautiful Artform’ knocks down dem establishments
Wallop you wid a sketchbook like Gregory MacKay / David Blumenstein‘s renderings got you runnin away
Got no need for wack ass ‘Hammertime’ / get your earhole ’round that David Bumenstein
You may say Chugnut blisters in the sun / Try to match Chris Downes and you’ll be fried and done
‘Comic Book Virus‘ cold gave you a clot, now you coughing up all ‘a ‘The ComicSpot‘
Samples? Don’t be absurd son / we got a million like Tim Danko‘s ‘Soiled’ fun
‘Cause the Chugnut Crew making comics like beats / lining up to buy ‘em yr stampin yr feet

Super old archival Athonk page. http://fade.to/pureblack This is the last one online; I used to have numerous comics profile pages for my pals but everyone’s got a blog or site of some sort now – most are in the sidebar on ComicsLifestyle.com.
