Cinebook
I grew up in France, reading "Bande Dessinees" (Graphic novels) all the time and collecting them. I have a collection of over a thousand BDs. When I moved to Australia, I was sad to see that pretty much the only titles I was used to that were translated into English were Tintin and Asterix.
Although my kids liked looking at my BDs, it was a bit hard to read for them as their French is good, but they are not native speakers having been brought up in Australia (and my wife is Australian).
So, imagine my surprise, a couple of years ago, when I found out that a company in England, run by a Frenchman called Olivier Cadic, was publishing the best of the European BDs in English language.
Needless to say that I have bought a lot (and I mean a lot) of their titles and my kids are really enjoying reading BDs. I bought some BDs from Cinebook for the local public school where my kids go as well and the books are a big hit with the kids at the school library.
BDs are great, try them! Note that some of the titles are aimed older readers, not just kids (Titles like "XIII", "Largo Winch", "Thorgal", "Orbital", etc.). Kids love "Yakari", "Cedric", " Lucky Luke", etc...

Timelines Exhibition: Cartoonists' Board
At the opening ceremony of the Timelines Exhibition in Newcastle last Friday night, the cartoonists of the Australian Cartoonists' Association were invited to draw on a big white board located in the middle of the gallery.
If you've ever been in a room with cartoonists, you would know they can't stop themselves and have to draw all the time. It's like a compulsion. Here are the results:

Timelines Exhibition in Newcastle (Australia)
The Australian Cartoonists' Association (ACA) is organizing the "Timelines Exhibition" to coincide with the Stanley Awards next weekend (16/17 November 2012).
The ACA is holding the exhibition at the Newcastle Council’s “Lovett Gallery” which averages 2000 people through per week. The exhibition will be running for 5 weeks, starting on Friday the 16th of November 2012.
The exhibition will be opened by the Mayor of Newcastle on the Friday night of the Stanley Awards weekend, with cartoonists in attendance drawing on the far wall.
Newspapers and TV media will be covering the event.
So, if you live in Newcastle (Australia) or nearby, come and check this cartoon exhibition. Submissions from some of the best cartoonists in Australia, and some unknowns like me, have been received for the exhibition and I was told the Gallery's walls will be packed with cartoons!
I know at least one of my cartoons will be displayed, maybe even two as I sent two...

Stanley Awards
Wow, only two weeks to go before the Stanley Awards!
For those of you who don't know, the Australian Cartoonists' Association (ACA: http://www.cartoonists.org.au) holds every year the "Stanley Awards". It is basically a whole weekend event with a Cartoonist Conference on the Friday and Saturday and an Awards night and dinner on the Saturday night.
Basically, ACA Full-Members are eligible to enter the Stanley Awards in various categories. A "Year Book" is produced and all ACA Full-Members have to vote for three choices in each category. An independent auditor collects all the votes and the winners get a "Stanley Award" in the given category.
This year, my cartoons are contesting for the "Comic Strip" category. Needless to say my chances are very very slim as there are some amazing cartoonists in Australia.
You can actually check the "Year Book" online at http://www.issuu.com/aca-yearbook if you want to see some amazing artwork by the ACA Members.
The "Stanleys" are held in Newcastle (Australia) this year on the 16th and 17th of November. The full program can be found here: http://cartoonists.org.au/awards
A large proportion of Australian cartoonists are attending as well as a few cartoonists coming from overseas. It is always a great weekend, where you meet amazing people.
I'll be there!
