You can buy it from any of these fine establishments:

We extend our thanks to these stores for carrying our book and we heartily recommend all these fine retailers to you.

Alternatively, you can order The Garbage Truck Failures online at my Etsy store and have it delivered to your doorstep.

If anyone knows of any stores outside of Melbourne interested in carrying The Garbage Truck Failures, please let me know.


A little bit darker

I've been toying with a darker drawing style for a little while now and the pieces i haver done seem to be well received, so here is a peek at some of my favourites. I've also been playing around with incorporating a bit of sampled textures and collage into my work and am enjoying the results. As always, i welcome your feedback and constructive criticism.



This piece is a screenprint onto textured paper that has been manipulated digitally. The final piece is from a zine i did with up and coming Melbourne-based writer James Andre. You can check out his work here.
