So here it is guys! I’ll be at Popcon Asia in Jakarta, Indonesia this weekend with my friends! It’ll be my first time boothing in Indonesia, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

Can’t wait to be there! See you in 2 days!

See what lies beyond the page

Some of you may remember me muttering vaguely about a Project: Cantoria, which was published as Fixit Fic last year in the zine Pulp Toast 2. The story is about a fanfic author, Ellena, who struggles to manage a sudden connection between her latest work and real life.

It’s my love letter to fandom and the positive memories it’s given me, and includes mention of conventions, cosplay, comment systems and creative rewriting.  The zine is now SGD10 (USD7) at the link above, so check it out for more meta-tastic tales!

Comic Art Workshop Kickstarter / Illustration Arts Festival

Hello again peeps! It’s the weekend soon and do I have some updates for you!

The Comic Art Workshop I'll be attending in October is running a crowd funding campaign now to make up for some expenses and I would really appreciate it if you guys could chip in!

A recap: The Comic Art Workshop is a 2 week residency where 15 comic artists are put together to improve on their comic projects, under the watchful eye of 2 invited guests, which are Sarah Glidden and Sonny Liew this time around!

I'm offering a reward for people who back us for $200 AUD, and it goes something like this:

'Taking pictures of yourself with your favourite food is so last season…time to show just how much you love food…by turning into it yourself! For $200, Max Loh will chronicle the epic journey you took to become your favourite dish in a black and white one-page comic. A bungled kitchen experiment resulting in a mysteriously delicious shepherd's pie? A robot rearranged your molecules into a bowl of laksa? The possibilities are endless!'

There're loads of interesting rewards from the other lovely participants too, so do check out the link to the Kickstarter (if only to look at the awesome art)! 

In other news, if you’re in Singapore this weekend, I’ll be at the Illustration Arts Fest boothing with The Rolling Ronins!

We’ll have some great stuff on sale, and I’ll have copies of Pointes de Controle, About Food, the Gorillaz Zine and more! Including this lovely Hamilton Fanzine Charsiewspace and I put together:

Hope to see you guys at the Fest this weekend! Till next time, take care!
