Artist Introduction: Bernie Slater

Hi, I’m Bernie Slater and I haven’t drawn a comic in yeeeeeeeears. I cut my teeth in the world of drawing making zines and self published comics. These days I’m primarily a printmaker, but do a lot of drawing, collage and sometimes digital stuff. I’m keen to get back into some comics – they’re quick, a great opportunity to be cheeky and you can shove them out into the world without having to engage in too much pomp and ceremony.

I teach visual arts at Canberra Institute of Technology, and June rehab conveniently fits in with our hectic assessment period. Fun! Combine that with World Cup Soccer, home renos and a six month old baby and we have a sanity-testing month of sleeplessness! I already feel queasy from the adrenalin.

More vital stats:

Fave comic artists:

Art Speigelman
Nate Powell
Lots of self publishers who put out a single brilliant comic then disappear forever.

Preferred modes of communication:

Biting political satire that ‘sticks it to the man’
Poo jokes
