So, there were two reasons for my featured choice this week… One, because this man / / runs what is essentially the Image Comics of Australia, Local Act Comics, and deserves as much international love as he already has from us Aussie comic artists, and Two, because I wanted to have a go at drawing my own versions of what are some truly funky designs, The Lady and the Gimp ;o) Where did the idea come from? I was doing a cartooning course and one of the assignments was to create a picture using some elements provided by the tutor. One of these elements was a picture of a farm girl with an ogre on a leash who had a banjo strapped to his back. So I decided to flip the idea around a bit and go a bit bondagey on it. Do you generally work quickly, or rework images over and over until they’re just right? What’s your process? I’m a scribbler. Scribble once. Ink once. Colour once. Then I don’t look at the work again for a long time. Once I finally look at it again it’s a review process, but I almost never re-do anything. I try to learn from my mistakes and evolve rather than trying to get every single picture perfect. I managed to work myself into a position where I have a lot of work on the go at any one time so I don’t give myself the luxury of reworking images. For those who don’t know, what is Local Act Comics? What is its function? Its history? Local Act Comics (LAC) is a comic publishing company that supports and represents artists from all over Australia. Originally started to print my own material, however the opportunity to help others out came up early and I haven’t looked back since. In under 2 years we’ve managed to publish more than any other Aussie comic publisher has in years. I’m pretty proud of everybody’s efforts and support to help LAC and each other. Local Act Comics for those interested. :) Why are comics important to our society? What do comics give us that nothing else can? Social commentary, young kids getting into reading, a foundation for debate, a ripe source of ideas for hollywood, but above all its a chance for people like me to tell stories in a format that we enjoy ourselves. Its a craft and an art form, plus its a real blast. Comics let us explore ideas for any audience. They can be the silent film or the latest blockbuster. They can be poetry or bordering on the completely bizzare. Regardless of style, intention or quality, comics have the ability to hold their own value for each of us. What did you want to be when you were five years old? Comic book artist…No joke What’s your favourite tshirt you’ve ever worn? I used to have a bright yellow tee that had ‘Grandchildren are all of the fun and none of the work’ across the chest in red letters. Did I mention it was really tight? I used to be so much thinner :P Is there anything you’ve found incredibly hilarious no-one else has? I think the funniest thing in the world is people falling over. Its the best. As far as something that others might not find funny…A Clockwork Orange What are you absolutely fanatical about these days? Like, crazy for? Cheap 2 min noodles If we caught you on a street corner with a sign, what might it say? “I’ve gone 3 days without a coffee and now I can’t find my shoes. Wait…what day is it?” (Life is generally a blur for me) Who (or what) would you like to put on a remote island and watch fight to the death? 2 star wars cos-players…jedi ones..any two…they’re all the same to me. What are five things you hope to achieve in the next five years? Take a week off / Learn how to play something decent on the guitar / Get through my 5 box sets of The Saint / Teach my child how to draw a cowboy / Did I say a week off?...Make it two Can we call you Helldave yet? ;o) Hell yes! Thanks Dave! And tune in next sunday night/monday morning as we find out where my swinging spotlight of shirty doom lands next… :o) Previous Shirtheads Shirtheads – Issue Zero / Shirtheads – featuring BigFatRobot / Shirtheads – featuring Chris Richards / Shirtheads – featuring Paul McClintock

Hello and welcome to the second Pulp Faction Profile, where we aim to spotlight the amazing talent coming out of the Aus. independant comic scene and beyond. Our second factioneer is an oz comics dynamo – not content merely to produce and promote his own work, David has started what could arguably be one of the most prolific publishers of local content in recent memory through the formation of Local Act Comics. So, without any further ado… David J Cunning Occupation: Business Manager Secret Occupation: Local Act Comics Director, comic artist and writer Hometown: East Ringwood, Vic Australia Currently Residing: Bayswater, Vic Australia. Influences: / I grew up on Peanuts, Wizard of Id, Andy Capp, Garfield, Dick Tracy and the old Gladstone Disney comics. From there it was Spiderman, Batman, Sin City, Hellspawn, Hellboy and Hellblazer (what’s with all the HELL :-P). My strongest influences would have to be Kelly Jones (Batman), Frank Miller (Sin City), Mike Mingola (Hellboy) and Marcelo Frusin (Hellblazer and Loveless). Current projects: / Running Local Act Comics, which is one of the biggest comic publishers in Australia. We organise production and distribution of Aussie comics on behalf of their creators. This includes attending conventions, keeping the website up to date and shipping catalogues out to stores across the country. On top of that I’m working as the artist on the horror series Down Under and the fantasy series Strange Dreams (both the webcomic and the miniseries). Once I manage to clear the decks again I’ll be looking at getting back into my western series Billy Joe Tequila. I also co-ordinate the LAC Presents… Anthology which comes out 2-3 times a year. I’m a bit of a redbubble addict so I often find myself knocking up new tee shirt designs when I should be doing other things…Its hard to cut back when its so much fun. linkage: / Local Act Comics – Its my Aussie comic baby. Representing loads of Aussie creators is a blast. Strange Dreams, the webcomic Previous Profilies: / Profile 1: Caanan

Film. The four Chinese words on the board literally mean “upright and aboveboard”. The original board was hung in the emperors’ office. Actually Chinese emperors were mean, crooked thieves, robbers, and murders. Many of them emerged from cunning lowlife. They rebelled, driven by thirst for unlimited power and material things. All of them grasped power by nothing other than raw force. They said “All the land under the heaven belongs to the monarch, / and all the people on the earth are the monarch’s subjects.” The most famous Chinese writer Lu Xun (Lu Hsun) (1881 – 1936) condemned their ruling as “thousand years of man-eating history”. He said throught the protagonist in his A Madman’s Diary, his most famous work, “You most know that in future there will be no place for man-eaters / in the world.” (There is a translation of his work) In Dao-de-jing (Tao Te Ching) it says “those with great virtue don’t boast they are virtuous”.

Shooting from the hill above Darimah Village at the Zinifex Century Mine of North West Queensland, I captured a brilliant late afternoon shower bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. Although looking gentle in nature from my position, it probably packs a fine punch down below. Date Picture Taken: 29/1/2008 / Camera: Canon EOS 350D / Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Two – or maybe three – fox cubs have taken to visiting my bird table, in the hope of finding something to eat! I have never seen a cub before so to have them call within feet of my kitchen window is a real thrill. One cub is very shy and so far I have not been able to photograph him/her but this one virtually took a bow!

First in a series of 6 oil paintings of the Chinese Zodiac done in the style of Tarot cards. The Chinese often show the zodiac as couples, complementing each other with their respective faults and strengths. / This first piece shows the negative aspects on the top and the positive on the bottom. The top shows the stubborn and impatient Bull waisting his energy at breakneck speed, with the greedy, suspicious Rat worsening his situation atop the Bulls head by clawing at his eye as he desperately attempts to catch the falling money from his pouch, in effect, losing more of his coins on the way. / The positive aspects on the bottom show the hardworking resilient Bull being lead by the cunning and clever Rat. / In the story about how the Zodiac animals have their order, the rat and Bull worked together in just this way, with the Rat navigating the way, and the Bull traversing the unsteady and wet terrain.
