I wrote a haiku recently on the fly for an upcoming anthology - The Sex Mook. It’s just been confirmed that they’re going to include my three-line contribution in the book. Sweet.

The book will be launched at a few places during September/October, most notably the Mega-Mega Launch at the National Young Writers Festival at Newcastle on 29-30 September. Incidently, Rachel from lip magazine and I will be there to hopefully launch issue 14, so I’m looking forward to grabbing my copy while I’m there.

The website I’ve been working on for Equinox Design and Visual FX is now live. Future updates will include a Press page and an image gallery.

Work has commenced on Phase Three: Layout (this is my bit), and I hope to have this completed over the next few weeks.

Operation TROOPLIFT: Postcards from Home is an anthology of short stories, poetry, photography and artwork compiled by members of the Department of Defence. It is a heartfelt gesture from Defence staff to their co-workers and family members deployed on operations overseas, as morale-booster for the troops and a thank you from those back in Australia.

As one soldier on deployment has told us: “we’d read the toilet paper if there was anything on it!”, it is a highly anticipated publication. I am honoured to be the designer of this book.

Phases One and Two: Submissions, Editing and Compilation has now been completed by the editorial team, and almost all the accompanying artwork has been received.
