APPREHENSION. 2 July 2010. Today was Basil's birthday. I woke up with mixed feelings about the day ahead. On the one hand I was happy that Basic gets to have a special day, he deserves celebrating. But another part of me was apprehensive, in case Basil asked me for special birthday...favours...

Drawn in Melbourne, Victoria, the suburbs in one week, late aug - early sept. Fingers throbbing, unable to sleep, ridiculous self-imposed deadlines, spite & jealousy. "This is what can be done in one week". Additional bonus drawings by Cougar Flashy & Phil Everum...I just finished up a month long residency at the NGV. I found it difficult to get much work done in there and mostly just got drunk in alleys and got trapped in depressing conversations with the general public. Returning to working at home in front of the tv is THE BEST. This book is a monument to solitude, late nights, altered states, no internet and "                ".

So, I guess I must be a chronic depressive...When I was a kid this mostly manifested itself in nightly anxiety attacks. I was terrified of going to sleep. By the time I was a teenager my anxiety had become debilitating. I would sit in class and not say a word to anyone. If somebody talked to me I would pretend not to hear...

I have never been more at home than in London. No, I mean that I really didn't leave my sister's house much. I didn't know where to go, she was lazy and we were cold. It saves me from drawing landscapes. But sometimes I wonder. Did I really go to London?

When I was in my last year of university I had a lover who surprised me by saying ze not only didn't like hir period but felt mostly like a man and asked what would I think if ze had hir breasts removed. Fine, I said, I love you, not breasts. Around this time another friend of mine came back from the USA with tranny porn and stories of trans* Pride marches and radical gender variant communities. Cool, I thought. Gender is an oppressive construct. Down with patriarchy! Down with gender, oppression! That's feminist, right? Or is it?

Hello readers, This is the second collaborative zine that Fran and I have made together. The first was a lot less together than this one (even though it was made lands apart) for we skirmished with paper and glue mere hours before the TINA zine fair last year. Lucking out at our most unfavourite stationary and print store at closing time to bring you: Picky.

From the first I heard them I knew The Fall weren't just a band for Christmas, they were for life. I was introduced to them through a mixtape my friend Anwyn gave me which, according to the note she included with it, was assembled on the 28th July 2005. The tape was entitled 'No more gestures of refusal'...

In the Holy Land for 9 months with a group of non-violent activists working with Palestinians on the ground to resist the Israeli occupation through direct action.  I accompanied farmers to weekly demonstrations, chased gun-toting settlers through olive fields with a camera... slept on the street with evicted families. It's incomplete and imperfect. Fresh-squeezed bullshit! Enjoy!!

...The city was covered in rubbish. It was the first time I'd seen it after New Year's celebrations. I passed out in my dirty clothes as soon as I hit my bed. I slept all day and in the evening walked to get fries and a sundae from McDonald's, my ultimate hangover food in the summer (melted cheese and tomato sandwhiches during winter). My then-friend was staying with me...
