AintThatDandi

‘AintThatDandi’ is the brainchild of Melbourne duo Andrew Li and Dale Maccanti. 

Andrew’s the talented artist behind it all, whilst Dale pretends to have great ideas. 

Hopefully you’ll see that through our t-shirt designs…hopefully.

We'll be designing geek culture t-shirts on RedBubble. Pick your colour, pick your size, it's pretty simple.

Our first design off the ranks is Doctor Brickhead. We figure this is what it would look like if Lego licensed Doctor Who.

Comikaze 24

A few days ago, I participated in my first Comikaze 24 event. It's an Australian event where you have to create and complete a comic within 24 hours! You also have to include three selected words somewhere in the comic. This years words were lurk, creation and passive.

I was in a team of five people. Matt Nicholls, Georgia Quinn, Jason Franks and myself wrote a short story each for artist Brendan Halyday. As you can see in the picture to the left, we sort of took over Squishface Studio for awhile (sorry guys). And to clarify what's going on in the photo because it does need clarifying. I'm standing over Georgia with my water bottle ray gun. Brendan needed some photo referencing for his work, nothing suss!

Unfortunately we didn't get the project completed in time but there's always next year. If you want to check out a sneak peek of my story, click here.

Thanks to everyone involved and Squishface Studio for letting us use their space to conquer space aliens.    

 

After the Snow Concept Art

Here's some concept art for the former
Prince Charming. Now officially King Charming.

It's been 15 years since he married
Snow White, he was bound to get there.

After The Snow Wallpaper

I couldn't not share this with everyone.

The amazing
Mr Trevor Wood has created a wallpaper on our OGN
After The Snow!

I'm a little speechless.

After The Snow

Lately all my spare time has been invested in a new project I'm working on with Trev Wood.

It's a graphic novel titled After The Snow. You'll finally get to see what happens to Snow White after her first adventure with the 7 dwarfs. Believe me, you won't ever look at the Disney version in the same way.

Here's some concept art for our OGN.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

It's pretty self explanatory. Go down to your local comic book shop and get free comics... that's it.

That is all!

What's been happening?

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, so here's what's been happening with me.... not a lot.


That's not entirely true. I've been working with some awesome people on future comic projects, that should be published this year but I won't jinx myself just yet. You'll have to wait and see. 


Big thanks to everyone that helped out with Hilarity for Charity 2. Next year will be even bigger and better. 


Hungry Love is also playing on Dark Carnival tonight at 11:30pm on Foxtel's Aurora, Channel 183.


And finally I'll leave you with a very thought provoking image I found on the net. 


Enjoy.

Moonee Valley Festival 2012

I'm sure you're all sick of it by now but Hungry Love will be playing at the Moonee Valley Festival on the 26th of February, 10am til 5pm. Queens Park, Moonee Ponds. 




There's heaps of activities on the day which you can find at this website!


PS: Hungry Love is also playing on Dark Carnival. Monday the 16th of April at 11:30pm on Foxtel's Aurora, Channel 183.


PPS: My other short film 'Witches' is playing on Dark Carnival. Monday the 5th of March at 11:30pm.

Witches on Anthology of Interest

Woops! This is what happens when you forget to charge your phone and check your facebook account daily. Anthology of Interest on Channel 31 played my short film 'Witches' last night. I'm sure I'll catch it next time.

B.A.D

What's B.A.D you ask? All I'll say at this point in time is that it's printed on the cute little robot to the left.

I might also say that it's a character from a children's comic I wrote for Clubhouse Comics Issue 2 which will be published by Monster Comics and Brendan Halyday.

But most importantly it's drawn by the spectacular Chris McQuinlan. He's open for commissions at the moment and has some very cool t-shirts on sale at RedBubble.

It's definitely worth your time clicking on the links below. Would I lie to you?
