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 […]

So this sneaky post has very little to do with food, but I hope you don’t mind me mentioning that I’m in an exhibition that opens next week. There will be copies of my Japan zine on show (and for sale, for anyone with spare pocket change) at Janet Clayton Gallery. The exhibition is called […]

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 […]
