a selection of my works are now available as shirts through society6: [link]

letting you all know i'm still alive, if barely.

i've lost 15kg and am pro-active-as-shit;

i now do monthly markets in the valley (brisbane) at the black market

the waves of depression have suppressed me, once again.   
i was manic and busy for so long this time, it was great.  i was dieting and exercising and drawing constantly - but now i'm binging and staying up all night.


i've been working on a big project called "the rosey throats club" - this is its facebook page: [link]
it's my first full-colour book, and has some pretty awesome guest artists in it.  

good bye.

i will be attending a zinefair in brisbane on the 8th of october at the 4ZZZ carpark in the valley, come visit. [link]

i've been obsessing over my tumblr lately, it's a powerful inspiration tool.  www.philipdearest.tumblr.com

i cannot stop thinking of right angles, the letter F and satan.  

i've been rather manic the last two weeks and i have managed to pump out 4 books, i think i'm crashing now so i'm going to retreat into video games and the justice league series for a while.

my comics are available as always here: [link]

to those artists still waiting on their free copy of issue one of "wash your hands & repeat": i'm trying to send off as many parcels as i can with each paycheck, but it's a daunting task and i'll get around to you all ASAP.

today i am going in for a meeting to try to get a grant for Wash Your Hands Vol. 2, the first volume made me go broke - so i need some government money to make the second one.

volume one of the OCD book is still available for purchase here: [link]

get gutted by a really dull knife and cough up yesterday's venom.

depression is a killer.

FOR SALE ON ETSY: [link]

it is 70-pages long and is amazing! it also comes with a free poster, friends.

i would like to thank all the artists who submitted - your parcels are nearly ready to be sent.  if any of you want to donate some money so i can post them ASAP, please do!

if you would like to submit for Volume Two, please e-mail me at wowphilip@gmail.com

the zine is called "wash your hands & repeat" and is an art zine (no articles).  all illustrations must be OCD/anxiety themed and must be in greyscale to fit an A5 white portrait-sized page.  it can be as fucked-up/insane as you want.  i prefer that you have some sort of anxiety disorder, too - but i can't inforce this.  

i'll give a free copy to everyone to submits, too!  if you want copies for other people i'll have to ask for a paypal money to cover printing/postage cost.

so tell me if you're interested in this journal and then e-mail the picture to wowphilip @ gmail.com.  in the e-mail also tell me your name and the website i should put in the book.  the sooner the better on the submissions, as my distributors are waiting (a week at most).

i've never done this before so i'm really hoping it works out.  

philip dearest.


UPDATE.
i've started getting submissions already, which is rad!  

the due-date is the 19TH OF JUNE (Sunday).  

also, i may not select EVERY submission - but i'll try my hardest to get you all in!

UPDATE 2.
there are some fucking amazing pieces coming through!  i love it all!

also, the cover to the zine has been done by !woohooyouslut - go check him out!!

i've made a heap of my comics cheaper, come buy a shit load so i can get an all-seeing-eye tattoo!

new comic coming soon.

it's really taking over in my life, i can't function if my hands are dirty or oily.

i feel painfully close to being able to draw again - like there is something about to explode inside my throat.  it's a feeling like you've forgotten what you were going to say, but you know it was brilliant and would change everything - except with art.  i'm still just twiddling my thumbs until it eventually comes rushing out.

you know it's bad when you're too depressed to play video games and just end up staring at your torrents download for hours on end.  

i have also, strange enough as it seems, quit smoking.  albeit, i've not drawn in months.

i'm working on something big, i've done 50 pages so far.  stay tooned.

i woke up in a start after a guilt-nightmare - everything i've ever done wrong (and lots of stuff i never did) flooded my subconscious and terrorized me.  now i'm having an anxiety attack thinking that my world could come crumbling down very easily.

i hate my head.

sleep too much, don't eat enough, avoid telephone calls and always fall into a routine.
