Metamorphosising Tattooed Magpie Passenger on the Bairnsdale Line

 

The male companion of the previous passenger post had some hand tattoos that circled his knuckles. His top proclaimed a mystic tribal association with his totem, the magpie and may have contributed to his metamorphosis. However, the were-magpie was too engrossed in his device to be cognisant of my artistic attention.

'In An Emergency' - Another Bairnsdale Line Sketch

 

St Kilda Pier

 My return trip from Melbourne included cycling the bike track from Sandringham. Getting the train to Flinders Street would have been easier but I decided to get some exercise.

Healesville Zinesters Train Sketch

 Travelling home from the Healesville zine day I drew two zine maker stall holders who were on the same train line.

  

 

Healesville Zine Day 2026 - Some Zine Makers

 Last weekend I attended the Healesville Zine Day and made a few sketches at the time that will be the basis for a zine, Zine Daze 3. Among the drawings was this one I did of the two girls sitting opposite. I also made some portraits, on request, for paying customers.

     

New Zine Zine!

 'Zine Daze 2' is a collection of my sketches based on Zine days at Geelong and Inverleigh. I employ the usual artistic licence, all in the interests of satire and irony. Also included are so sketches based on my train trip from Melbourne to Geelong, the Royal Dental Hospital waiting room, some unusual toy figures I bought at Camberwell Sunday market and a sexy fairy from my Fractured Fairy zine.

  You can buy one direct from me at Healesville zine day at the town hall this coming Sunday.

Port of Sale

 Colored pencil sketch. Actually, landscapes don't especially excite me but I still draw the odd one as a record of where I have been. That is my bike basket in the foreground.
