A note from Amber Carvan:
Hello Friends,
I am writing with exciting news - our book is out! For those of you who don't know, Mandy Ord and I have been frantically drawing pictures over the past 12 months for a collaborative comic book. We got a grant to produce the book from the Australia Council (thanks Ozco!) and Pluto Press agreed to publish it (thanks Pluto!).
Anyway, as I mentioned, the book is now complete! Sixty (that's right, sixty!) glorious pages of new comics, all collected together in a cute little yellow pocket book called "Brickdog and Other Stories" with an introduction by Eddie Campbell. How excitement!
You can get hold of a copy by
(a) going to your local bookshop (ask if they have it and if they don't, ask
them to order it in for you), or
(b) visiting the publishers website at www.plutoaustralia.com and buying a
copy online. Here's a direct link:
http://www.plutoaustralia.com/catalogue/display.php?item=232
For those who might want to order a copy the details are as follows:
Brickdog and Other Stories
By Amber Carvan and Mandy Ord
Published by Pluto Press
ISBN: 1-86403-190-5
RRP: $14.95 Retail ($13.45 online)
So... anyway, yay. It's all very pleasing. Please buy it! And please spread the word to people who you think may also enjoy it.
Cheerio,
Amber

Two things from Bugpowder (it really is a small world after all...)
When living in Portland I used to enjoy Fiona Smyth's artwork in publications like Snipehunt and J McLaughlin's underappreciated anthology, Raw Meat.
Now she's got a site. http://www.fionasmyth.com/
Sounds like Portland's changed a bit...felt like a pop culture playground when I was there.
Now? Gentrification and ossification make the town a little older and colder...http://www.wweek.com/html/musica0106.html

Word from the unstoppable Rick Bradford:
Well, I've gone and done it. I finally caved in to peer pressure and started up a blog. A blog, for those who don't know, is basically a web-based journal that's become really popular because it's easy to use.
I'd like to invite you to check it out. My decision to do a blog arose in the wake of my decision to not publish a second issue of 'I Am What I Am' (my journal zine). If you liked that zine, then you may enjoy the blog (titled, coincidentally, 'I Am What I Am').
For those not used to blogs, be aware that they're set up so that the most recent entry is at the top of the page. So, if you'd like to start at the beginning, October 27th, you have to go to the bottom of the page. And if October 27th isn't at the bottom, then you'll find it in the Archive link at the top.
For the record, if you're receiving this, that means you're one of the following: (a) a friend, (b) someone who read my journal zine, or (c) a combination of the two.
The blog is here:

cheers, all,
--Ricko
