Probably time I mentioned that we have a new cockatiel. He's really young and has been handraised from hatching by the daughter of a colleague, along with a sibling (she wanted to sell them as a pair, but we only wanted one cockatiel).

He appears to have a lot of character and is certainly the yellowist cockatiel I've ever seen, being yellow all over, though much of his body may turn white as he gets older (he's a lutino cockatiel). We're currently trying to think of a name that suits him.

I've been thinking about another major comics project that could be serialised in one of the local children's magazines. However, as it's historically based, it needs intensive research.

Lately the ideas are coming thick and fast, so there's no way I can draw them all. I still have that unfinished picture book, am working on some reviews and interviews for OzComics Magazine #4, have begun work on Riffin' to Oblivion, Part 3, and would still like to do the piece for Oztaku, as well as another episode of Children of the Moon for Xuan Xuan (fortunately now only coming out twice a year. Lots of work to do!
