As you might remember, this comic artist hails from Melbourne, Australia, and his works are printed regularly in newspapers across the country. During ourlast interview, Paul shared with us: “The most rewarding aspect for me is seeing my work published in a newspaper or magazine. I’m a child of the ’80s and grew up reading comics in the newspaper so to see my work in print is fantastic.”

Bored Pandareached out to the artist from Australia once again to ask him some questions about his recent work. First, we wanted to know what Paul’s favorite moment or element of the comic creation process is, from conceptualization to the final product. He told us: “My favorite part is definitely the initial concept, I will often be doing something completely different and not thinking about comics at all and a joke will come to me.”
The artist continued: “I will try and draw out a rough sketch on any paper I can get my hands on, sometimes napkins, envelopes or on newspaper, then later draw it again properly on art paper. I also write a lot of notes to myself on my phone with ideas or dialogue.”
We were also wondering if Paul could describe a pivotal moment or experience that significantly impacted his growth as a comic artist. He shared with us: “It’s a small thing, but I remember a friend contacting me saying he was working in a mine in Western Queensland, Australia in a really isolated place. He went into their mess room, a room where they all got coffee and food before heading out on shift. He saw that someone had cut out one of my cartoons from a newspaper and stuck it on the noticeboard because they thought it was funny. When he told me that, I was really happy, you don’t have to have your work hanging in the Louvre to make an impact.”
