This zine recaps some of my favourite meals and experiences in these cities: from dishes that cost only a handful of dollars (and converted instantly into great memories) to Michelin-starred visits that required banking many months of saving. There are also: pastries I hunted out in Tokyo and Paris; the place in New York where […]

While I’m looking for a new job, I hope it’s not too shameless to shill copies of my latest zine? I guess the theme is “work”, so that makes it semi-appropriate, right? It was produced for the most recent MCA Zine Fair and here’s a not-so-executive summary on its contents … It’s possible to get […]

Here’s a new zine! It’s an update of last year’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry publication and I created it for the recent MCA Zine Fair. Consider it a snack-sized version of this blog and or a neat track listing of my favourite places to eat and drink in Sydney. It can multitask as […]

I made a new zine – it’s a snack-sized version of The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry. Created for the recent MCA Zine Fair; it compiles many of my favourite places to eat and drink in Sydney. It’s a bread-crumb-trail through the city that can multitask as a short guide for an out-of-towner or a […]

Major thanks (and a Tokyo-Skytree-sized “Arigatō”) to all the lovely people who picked up a copy of my Japan zine at the MCA Zine Fair on Sunday. If you couldn’t make it and you’re zine-curious, you can now order the issue online. There’s a little spiel about it here, but if that doesn’t quite meet […]

My zine is now available online here. Things I’ve learned from making my zine on Japan: ramen vans are the country’s equivalent of ice-cream vans (complete with ramen-van theme song), Kit Kat flavours are oddly educational (like an edible Wikipedia of Japanese customs) and there’s a bakery in Tokyo that has a seven-year wait for […]

Hey, here’s a shameless mention of a few things I’m part of. If you turn up to Feast Your Eyes, you’ll find a bar recipe booklet with contributions by Levins (The Dip), Spod, We Buy Your Kids, Jake Stone, Elmo Keep and many more; some of the accompanying illustrations will be available as artwork; there’ll […]

Sorry for the accidental blog hibernation – I’ve been crazy-busy cranking out copies of my latest zine, which is about food. If you’re at all zine-curious, this issue features a ton of great people in it, including interviews with Lemonpi, Nick Palumbo of Gelato Messina, Angie Schiavone of Everyday Eats, Levins of The Dip and […]

I’ve been in zine-making hibernation for the last few weeks – which explains the less-than-speedy blog updates (sorry for being such a lazybones). It was all for the MCA Zine Fair, which was on last Sunday, so I can now resume my normal sleeping/procrastinating/blogging patterns. If you’re zine-curious, mine (Speak-easy #11) had a Frenchy theme […]

Food preservative is kind of a dirty word, but when we’re talking about watercolours, then it’s not likely to lead to parental frowns or dangerously wound-up children. Melbourne artist Dawn Tan has a lovely habit of recording what she’s eaten with line drawings and paintbrushes. I first discovered the work of Melbourne artist Dawn Tan […]
