Murmel Comics # 31

murmel31Hey Look at what we got! Murmel Comics Anthology # 31 is out and we have it hot off the press!  For those of you that don’t know, Murmel Comics is a (usually) quarterly independent comics-zine based here in Vienna. It’s been going strong for nearly a decade, which is pretty long in the world of self-publishing.
Every issue focuses on a specific theme, and the artists are allowed complete creative freedom to make whatever they want. The comic has an open door policy, so everything submitted makes it’s way in the final printed comic. Issue Number 31 focuses on the theme of neighbors.
I’m proud to say that  I’ve been a regular contributor for the last few years, and Murmel Comics is what inspired me to start making my own comic, “Cheetahs Never Win”
I am also proud to say that we carry Murmel Comics at the Motmot shop! Not only do we have the newest issue, we also have a number of back issues, so you can get caught up on anything you missed.

Our Summer Vacation

posterspreviewHey there friends, buddies, associates, and compadres. I’m just giving a general update about what we’ve been up to. We have been busy. First and foremost are the posters we’ve been printing for the Fortsetzung Folgt (To Be Continued) exhibition, we’ve been asked to design and screen print a series of posters for an exhibition about public art in Lower Austria (Niederoesterreich.) The posters are turning out really great, the whole thing is a “work in process.” No two posters look exactly alike, and some of the posters and prints will actually be in the exhibition itself. You can catch a sneak peek to the left here! I will be writing more about this in the near future. The exhibition opens on Thursday, September 17th at 7 pm, at the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, here in Vienna! See you there!
If that weren’t enough, some of our work will be featured in another exhibition titled “Cute Puppies” which takes place September 9th at the MAK in Vienna. We will have more details when we get them! The exhibition will feature some of my drawings from “Cheetahs Never Win” in giant format!
Speaking of Cheetahs Never Win, I’ve got most of issue #3 done in some form, and I’ve got a lot of sketches and ideas for the rest. After all this other creative work is finished, I will be hunkerin’ down in September and October to wrap it up, and it looks like CNW #3 will be out sometime in mid Autumn, I’m thinking sometime in October or November.
