Michael Jackson, Prince and James Brown on stage together
by There’s a special energy when heavyweights share the stage. Like The Last Waltz, or whenever Danzig did Last Caress with Metallica. This might hold the crown though. James Brown and his band playing with BB King in 83, invites both Michael Jackson on stage, who gets spirits up, and then Prince, who brings the house down (literally).

Habibi: a new graphic novel by Craig Thompson
The long awaited follow up to Craig Thompson’s multi-award winning graphic novel, Blankets. Habibi revisits familiar personal themes for the author but set in a foreign land. An epic accomplishment on all fronts, taking close to seven years to complete, it’s an intense visual experience, another moving tale of love and a thoughtful look at the close relationship between Christianity and Islam.
Video for Japanese band Mono’s Follow The Map
In early October, I was lucky enough to experience the Japanese post-rock instrumental quartet Mono, accompanied by the Holy Ground Orchestra as part of the Melbourne Festival. A sweeping, emotive 90 minute spectacle of both joy and sorrow, made stronger by the accompanying full orchestra and the perfect venue of the Forum Theatre.
Nintendo fan art by Niklas Jansson
I’m not sure exactly what Niklas Jansson does. Something in game development, I think. But I’m certain we would have gotten along as kids. He has a thing for redesigning all the best Nintendo games, like Metroid, Rygar, and Mega Man; he loves vintage Lego, robots, and table top games; and is a master painter and illustrator in both traditional and digital mediums.

I think Sydney Phillips Hardin has hit on something great with her series of portraits of iconic women (Sarah Palin, the Madonna and Child, Botticelli’s Venus on a half-shell) painted as blow-up dolls, certainly with regard to her aim to ‘retaliate’ against media packaging of female sexuality. She also has the best URL on the web. Read more
Color infects Michael Williams’ paintings like a giddy case of the cooties, erupting in little itchy boils and hives on canvases gone half mad from too much time spent in psychic brothels. Read more

I just finished illustrating a children’s story book written by Joshua Wilson called The UnStealer. Within this silly and fun collection of different scenarios, the UnStealer is a thief who steals the ‘Un’ from the front of descriptive words, ultimately turning negative events and feelings into positive ones. Attention agents and publishers!
Now this is fun. The aptly named The Kooks cover the equally as aptly named MGMT for Australian radio network, Triple J. The song, Kids, is about as upbeat as any minor key progression can get. We like.
