Special Delivery from Costa Rica!

2007-06-12T13:02:00.000+10:00

Well the lads from Revista Colectiva have done again, and created another cracker of an issue. The theme of this edition is "Black." It is a simple theme that has produced some beautiful and stylish art. Check it out! We also received a publication called "Gallo Pinto" with this edition of Revista Colectiva. My Spanish is a little rusty so I am not too sure what it is about exactly, but it is a great looking publication non-the less.

These little fellas came all the way from Costa Rica. We did a Zine swap with these guys and their publication looks amazing. They were also good enough to throw in some stikers when they mailed their Zines to us, very cool! Check'em out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/revistacolectiva

Hungry Zine at
The Artery, 87-89 Moor St, Fitzroy (Just of Brunswick st).

needed funds) we will be conducting a silent auction.
We have a King Kahuna foot rest, a Peace Love and Brown Rice (A Photographic
History of the Big Day Out by Sophie Howarth ) Boxed collection of books,
hand made Toys by the Uber talented Kate Chmeil and much more! SO make sure
you get in early to get you hands on any of these HOT items!

And if being among the first in the WORLD to get your hands on the RED HOT new issue of Hungry is not enough, we will have the usual booze and banter to keep the
die hards satisfied.

CHEERS!

PS. For our international friends who aren't able to jet in that night, Hungry Zine Issue 4 will be available to buy over the net from Friday. Stay tuned for more updates and surprises!

Things are a-brewin'

2007-01-07T18:00:00.000+11:00

Hungry Zine is catching up with the times. Oh yes indeedy. We've finally joined the mass movement that is flickr.com and we will be making the pages of the highly-coveted-and-sold-out issue one available for your perusal and immense enjoyment soon.

More rumbles include impending availability of original art in our etsy.com store and a mega auction to aid our transition from ambitious but piddling arty thing to

SUPER SPLENDID STANDARD-SETTING
INTERGALACTIC ILLUSTRATION BIBLE

(OK. I'm getting a little over-excited here. Must be the chocolate coated coffee beans that were liberally consumed at today's zine meeting.)

The only thing left for Hungry to really bring us into the technological self-promotion age is a myspace.com page. Don't hold your breath, though... I've never met a myspace page that didn't make my eyes bleed from ugliness. Exactly why does it have to be so damnably ugly?

2006-12-14T20:17:00.000+11:00

Stuck for that Kris Kringle present for your weird cousin Wilmer?
Well we've got the perfect idea!

A SWEET Hungry Zine Issue 3!
and to add a bit of sweetener to your eggnog then how bout this;
with every order for Hungry we will give you

A FREE SUPER COOL BADGE!!!

That's right, for every order we will post you one of these handsome little suckers,
and if your quick, it should get to you before the Fat man gets here!!

It's just our way of Saying Merry Christmas to you.

Love - the Hungry Team.

PS. Offer ends when badge stock runs out.

Beauty in a cooking tray.

A couple of months ago I was walking past my kitchen bench when I noticed a cooking tray of mine, which I had cooked some roast potatoes in the previous night. I had filled the tray but with water, but I could see I would need to do more to clean the tray so I decided to drop a little bit of cleaning fluid into the tray. The fluid reacted with the water and created this amazing orange cloud. I grabbed my girlfriend’s digital camera and started taking photos. These are the photos that I took, I hope people find them as interesting as I did.

Hungry Launch

2006-10-20T20:53:00.000+10:00

October means only one thing, little zine-ites. ISSUE 3!

That's right. Issue three. Sceptics questioned if such an event could ever occur within the confines of space and time, yet we slay their cynicism with the righteous pen of conviction and blind loyalty!

Hazzah, I say!

Watch this space.

Sold Out

2006-09-06T23:20:00.000+10:00

Holy Crap!

Although its not completely official yet, it seems we may have sold out of both Issue #1 and Issue #2, and a whole month before our third issue is to be released.

So online sales have been suspended for the moment as we send off the last one to the stores and dig behind of sofas for the odd left behind copy.
If you've out on getting your hands on a copy of Hungry fear not, you can check out some of the stores on our friends page, or you never know, we might have more copies to send off in the future.

Anyway kids, hope youre looking forward to Issue #3 Space, coming out October. Till then, Stay Hungry!

Postcards from Archibald - Bermuda

2006-08-27T22:31:00.000+10:00

Hello zinies, working hard i trust?
Today i find myself in Bermuda, sitting back, enjoying the salty sea air. Sipping luxuriously on a Dark n' Stormy, quite popular here, which contains a fine assortment of rums mixed with local ginger beer. A drink worthy of a pirate captain! Or any sea-faring folk.
Looking forward to seeing the first draft of issue 3, although im off sailing the high seas for the next week, categorizing local sea life, so it will have to wait until my return. That is of course, if i dont get sucked into the triangle.

Till next time gang. Stay Hungry!

"Jonas"

2006-08-17T20:31:00.000+10:00

This is a fella called Jonas.
He is an Armish farmer who is usually seen in the pages of my sketch books with his wifey Marj.
He took a trip down south recently and looky, he got all western.

In other news, Hungry Zine has gone global!
OKOK Gallery in Seattle is stocking our little zine.
Have a look at their site. Sweet!

2006-08-13T21:36:00.000+10:00

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to go to the 2006 AGIdeas conference at the arts centre here in Melbourne. I was very excited at the prospect of seeing people like Brad Holland, Ralph Eggleston from Pixar and Nick Pill from Rising Sun Pictures, speak at the conference.
I got so excited that I spent the three days leading up to the conference making some hand crafted business cards to hand to these guest speakers. During the conference I was unable to find any of the guest speakers during the lunch breaks and so I didn't get a chance to hand out these hand painted cards I worked so hard on. So I thought I'd put one or two of them up on the blog, just so that some one else could see them. Enjoy!

Had a bad day?

2006-08-10T21:52:00.000+10:00

Ever had one of those days where a client is smurfing you up the wall? To the point you'd like to kill em?
But then you'd have all of those icky laws to deal with. These days who has time for prison anyway?

Solution!

Imagine them as one of the living dead instead!
Man you can do anything to those guys!

Anyhow. This was how i vented yesterday.

No clients were harmed in the making of this drawing.
Hungry Zine does not endorse any form of violence save for those aimed an members of the undead armies, which include zombies vampires and pirate skeletons.

Afternoon all, Drew here with a spot of news. Just finished updating the Hungry Website, while rocking out the The Darkness, added a bunch of photos from our launch nights.
Feel free to go check them out.
See if you can spot the zini!

That's all for now. Stay hungry!

The Adventures of Horse and Fly

2006-08-07T21:28:00.000+10:00

This chap's name is Fly. He is the imaginary friend to a character i'm doing a comic about whose name is Horse. I'm just finishing the page he makes his big debut on so i thought you may want a gander at the little guy! He's a little lizard, a little fly and a little pirate. Yep, all that's good in the world. The book will be penned by the ever erratic Earl Leonard (click here to check out his most excellent band the Rye Cathers or his other equally awesome bluesy outfit The Red Cents here). How was that for a shameless plug?!

I'd like to get the first story done before i die(hopefully no time soon) and seeing as it's only a 12 page story that should be possible.

Anyhow.

Whatcha thunk?

Welcome to the Hungry Zine Blog

G'day!

Hungry is a quarterly publication (set out in a zine format) which showcases the artistic talents of six melbourne based illustrators. Each issue the group chooses a topic to visually explore. Issue one's topic was 'Elements' and issue two, the current issue, deals with the subject of 'Memory' (featured left).
