Well, I've been having a lot of fun editing photos lately. They aren't great or anything, but they're fun looking. :)

Thanksies. XD

That's the title anyway: Sometimes Things Get Confusing When You're Mentally Ill.

It's a brief comix history of my struggles with depression, PTSD, abuse, marriage and fatherhood, recovery and struggling to reclaim a sense of self. It's cartoony but not light hearted. There is lots of potentially triggering stuff here. Consider yourself warned.

It's yours for a buck, a couple of stamps or a trade. If you would like a copy, you can order it from my etsy store or shoot me an email.

SUBMIT SOMETHING FOR NEXT ISSUE!

I'm thinking about duality as a theme -- things like doppelgangers, mirrors, shadows, doubles, vampires casting no reflection, twins, split or multiple personalities, bipolarism, bisexuality, gender swapping and gender play, immigrants living in a foreign culture without losing their identities, interracial identity, etc. But don't feel bound by this if you want to contribute ... there are no hard and fast rules.

I'm proud to announce some early contributors to the second issue. AC will have the pleasure to publish "Changeling," a powerful piece of short fiction with a transgender theme, by Isabella Wolgoth. Disdane, creator of the stunning Elizabeth Bathory artwork in the color centerfold of AC 1, will create an original cover. I've also conducted an interview with an amazing Egyptian activist student, Walaa Quisay.

Please submit your harrowing stories of survival, writing, poetry, artwork, photography, comix, recipes, reviews, crazy evil kinky DIY projects, etc. And of course, there will be interviews...

The second issue of Absent Cause will be published in January 2009. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2008.

We'll begin on the happy news that one of our longstanding members of staff tied the knot on Friday 26th September.
The blushing bride looked fabulous in her black satin frock and shiny accessories. We, of course, were beside ourselves with excitement. There's nothing like a good wedding to bring out the beader in us and there were creations aplenty. It was like Ascot but with big jewellery instead of big hats and reggae instead of riding!

Anyway, our competition entries have started coming in but e're still looking forward to seeing loads more. Don't forget the closing date - 31st October 2008.

Today I spent a day with one of my BFFs, Megan. She lives really far, so this was a big event. Heres some of the photos I edited. :)

I LOVE YOU MEGGIE-MOO!

I feel I have a moral obligation to little animals, obviously this one could stick up for itself.
It was on our garden path so I tried to put it onto a coaster so I could move it to the tree. I pushed it onto the coaster using the end of a paintbrush and everytime I poked it, it whipped round and bit my paintbrush!!! I had to tug the paintbrush out of it's mouth! When I got it onto the coaster it didn't appreciate my help at all and ran off the end and disappeared into the grass. Later I found it on the wall.
It is a Grey Dagger moth caterpillar, despite it being a bit of a punk I really liked the little bugger. It had 2 horns and it looked like it has 8 little faces on it's body! The pattern is really nice.

Speaking of patterns, come with me off to Mochimochi Land. Queen of Mochimochi land, Anna, has some fabulous patterns to buy and even has some free patterns.

I think the entrance to Mochimochi Land is under Mr.Grass, that's why he's hiding! Luckily there's the website for creatures without the proper paperwork.

I'd also like to draw your attention to Fusionman.
