No, we haven’t gone…or decided to fade away. Covid hasn’t got us yet! The long Melbourne lockdown hit us hard in many ways. Time, space and reality blurred into an unimaginable existence and motivation for anything below survival and keeping safe was far too low. Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters around the world going through their own city/country lockdowns.
After the unintended hiatus due to Covid-19, Graphic Nature makes it's return. On this episode - Zoran talks to David Blumenstein - Melbourne Comics Creator, Story Board artist, animator and co-founder of Squishface studios in Melbourne, Australia, about his introduction to comics and the various comics he's had published in the last few years - #takedown, What we Tell Them: A story Book by Mr Tony Abbott and Free Money.

It’s been a tumultuous time these last few months…and with everything being so heavy for all of us in the world maybe a little escape is in order…even if it is for a short time. Here in Melbourne, Australia, things have gone backwards so in this second round of City wide lockdown it might be time for that escape, even if it is only an auditory experience. A new episode featuring Tatiana Davidson is up on the website and available to listen to on all your favourite podcast apps! Happy listening, and stay safe.

Wow, the hit’s keep coming. We are indeed living in strange times.
We hope you’re all staying safe out there.
Needless to say, as everyone has reorganised their lives due to the corona virus, here at Graphic Nature we’re still trying to figure out how we’ll be continuing to produce episodes for the foreseeable future. We apologise for the longer time periods between scheduled release dates. We’re working on restoring the regular schedule for new episodes and hopefully we’ll be back to fortnightly releases real soon. For now though, the new episode featuring Bruce Mutard is up on the website and available to listen to on all your favourite podcast apps! Happy listening, and stay safe.
