Here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna take 4 russet potatoes. You're gonna peel them and dice them. You're gonna set them in a bowl of cold water so they don't oxidize. Then you're gonna cook a half pound of bacon until crispy and set it aside. You're gonna melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a dutch oven. No more, no less. Add some diced onion and garlic to that. Saute it for a couple minutes. Then you're gonna add 4 tablespoons of flour and make a roux. You're gonna add 3 cups of milk to the roux. Slowly. Don't get in a hurry. Then add 3 cups of chicken stock. Add plenty of salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil. Add your potatoes in. Let that simmer for 20 minutes. Then you're gonna add some sour cream, the chopped up bacon from earlier, and some grated cheddar. You're gonna stir that together for 5 minutes. And then garnish it with a little green onion and shredded cheddar. You got it?

Thanks Mike.

I haven’t been involved in a convention for quite some time, and Supanova Melbourne was a great way to experience the enjoyment again. Vikki and I were joined by our very own Alisha Jade (Ledger Award Winner!) and held a table in the Artist Alley. The reception was AMAZING, and the number of people who stopped by, chatted, and bought the book was really something. The only downside was that I caught the Con Flu really quick (a few hours into the FIRST DAY, ugh), and Vikki and Alisha were sport enough to humour my  moaning, constant nose-blowing and hand-sanitising. Our neighbours were also very nice :) Vikki also spoke as a panelist, talking about her experience working as an animator on a film.

Thanks so much again to all of you who dropped in! You ROCK!!!!!

Hahaha I AM GLORIOUSLY SLIGHTLY CHUBSY I love it XD

Tabling this weekend with Eri and Vikki was awesome and the anthology did so well! I’ll do a post up soon about it (and the Ledgers) but it was definitely a great experience!

I got to meet these lovely people on Saturday and chat with Alisha Jade (aka use up her time swooning over her zines) - this table was very much the glory of my Supa art haul!!

Absolutely check out their book, zines and art if you have a bit of time!

Oh me too! I bought almost all the mini comics and the very wonderful Colour Fantastica book which is one of my favourite purchases. It was so nice to get to chat and buy things, I love EVERYTHING I got at this table!!

I made a patreon account!
