Perth Comic book enthusiasts take note: AGDA has lined up three of Perth's finest creators to speak about writing, illustrating and publishing graphic novels.

Wolfgang Bylsma (managing director of Gestalt Publishing), Justin Randall and Anton McKay will take us through the ins and outs of their craft.

Gestalt Publishing will host an exhibition of comic artwork and a book stand at the event, we'll have Skye Ogden's animated video clip for Japanese band Yongen on show and Anton McKay will entertain us with his musical stylings.

Seats are limited so be sure to get there on time.

This event will follow the AGDA General meeting at 5:45pm. AGDA members attending the AGM will receive FREE entry to 3 Fisted Comics.

About the Speakers:

Wolfgang Bylsma has managed his own creative agency since 1995. Having worked in tertiary education, sound design, web development and brand strategy he co-founded Gestalt Publishing in 2005 where he continues to serve as Managing Director and Principal Editor.

Justin Randall is a design lecturer for Curtin University, a commercial illustrator and a graphic novelist. He’s worked on titles such as 30 Days of Night, Silent Hill and is currently producing his own graphic novel series called Changing Ways.

"Artist" and "Musician" Anton Mckay lives with his cat in Perth, Western Australia, on the periphery of one of that city's grandest light-industrial suburbs. From this base, he makes manifest the unusual contents of his unconscious mind via music and illustration, with a glacial-like vigour.
