Next week’s issue of The Phantom #1996 (out in stores Thursday 1st May), has the next chapter of The Phantom: Vietnam; Chapter 10 “Going up the Country…” It was probably my favourite just for the log line pitch. Thanks to Frew for going to bat, and KFS approving my silly idea. Comics are fun, sometimes.

Shocked and saddened at the news of the sudden passing of Sabum Joel Muyot from the ACT. Always struck me as a very kind and friendly man, and I think the majority of any photo evidence of us at seminars and training and tournaments over the years was because of Sabum behind the camera. Hadn’t crossed paths in a little while, but he was always smiling when I did. He is a friend I will miss. Love and condolences to his close family and friends. Taekwon, Sabum. 👊

Goodnight Ladybird ❤️
Our small, fiery old matriarch has closed her eyes one last time. Hatched from an egg in 2017, good for occasional hugs when she wasn’t bossing around the others or chasing flies and lizards around the yard, or hogging the dirt patches. She was great at warning the others of overhead “danger” ie: anything flying over with a shadow, and was first to know when we’d accidentally brought home a baby rooster by yelling at us for weeks until we found out ourselves 😅

Strange how much you love and get sad and miss a chicken, even when they were a bit of a bully at times. Our loveable bully. 🐔 Our small flock misses you.

Happy Birthday to the Great American cartoonist Sy Barry, who turned 97 this week.

One of the last “golden age” comic artists, he worked at Timely (Marvel), and DC comics, before heading to syndicated comic strip art, and modernised and reshaping the Phantom comic strip in the 1960s. Sy worked on the strip for over 3 decades, before retiring in the 1990s. He still paints and draws today. An inspiring figure for certain. He’s appeared in two of my Phantom comics, here’s some kind words that one of my best mates managed to get from Sy in person a few years ago (thanks Duncan). We merely walk in the footsteps of giants. Cheers to Sy!

Some snapshots of the iPad screen: WIP for a couple of Frew Phantom things, while we were dealing with the Cyclone/Storm stuff the last few days. Much love SE QLD, I hope everyone’s power returns soon and water subsides. #thephantom #frewpublications #snapshots #wip

Haven’t been to a formal class in a while; lost interest with grief etc. But I’ll go back eventually. Have tried to keep it up. Here’s a recent Sunday arvo.

Bruce Lee use to say Martial Arts was a way of “honestly expressing yourself”. I still have a man half my age in my head telling me the things I “should” be doing, or what I “use” to be able to do. But, from time to time I record my later rounds (bits of 8, 9,10 you see here) because that’s where the form needs to count. Not the first few, when I’m fresh.
I see the mistakes. But there’s gratitude for still being able to move around a little and having the freedom to record myself like a wanker.

I also remember it’s suppose to be “fun”, right? My doctor tells me that, as well as exercise is good for my brain, and though it’s felt like a slog for a while, the arthritic hip brings a bit of chronic pain, and the shoulder and wrists have niggles, I still have to find the “fun” in doing this stuff. And see an acupuncturist.

The aim is eventually stop the brain from thinking it has to train for another world championship, and that I am not 20 anymore (and that’s ok I suppose, those days have passed). So here I am expressing myself, even if this sat in drafts for a while.

My two cents for the day is if you plan on being an artist for your living/part of your living, try and look after the engine.
