Reviews, kind words, etc - people who like "The Micturating Angel"

Dear Xtian:Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed very much your delightfully scabrous micturating angels in Hydrolith 2!All best,

Sasha Vlad

The above was an email sent to yours truly by a fine Surrealist and it warmed the cockles of my heart. Please, everyone start referring to the Angel as a "delightfully scabrous" comic! 

I've also come across some other reviews/ recommendations on this here Interwebs, so here we go:

from Surrealismo Internacional [surrint.blogspot.com.au], a Spanish blog dedicated to all things Surrealism, we find a review of Hydrolith #2, the anthology wherein the first issue of this comic was published last year (see earlier entry HERE).

Quote:

"Among the many illustrations, with a predominance of collages and drawings, but also paintings and digital works, I can only highlight some preferences:  ...[a] very original comic [by] Xtian, Melbourne, entitled The micturating [sic] Angel , "fairy science and erotic" in which he systematically involved with a fun result, on some figures to George Levis, narrating the stories of girls Bella Hayley, Molly, Gaby and Lucinda-all a discovery that makes us want to do the same with many bookmarks, or even indifferent comics (in these, the improvement would be obvious)."
(I translated this with Google...)
See original article HERE. 

The reviewer also posts a page from the comic, which I'm very happy about.

I had to google who Georges Levis was - a flattering comparison I have to say (THIS should give you some idea - oh and the link is NSFW, ooo-err).

Our third and last (for now) kind champion (David Nadeau) is from Canada. His  blog is also devoted to Surrealism, is called présence du surréalisme [surrealismeactuel.blogspot.com.au] and we find a simple recommendation of a T-shirt related to the Angel (one of the Secret Chiefs designs - huh? what? click HERE ).

To these people I say 

THANK YOU.

Feedback, reviews and recommendations are most welcome. Whilst I don't expect anyone "to get" what I'm doing with this comic (9 times outta 10 I donno either), it's great to see people connecting (positively) with it.

EXCELSIOR!

Meet "The Secret Chiefs" + The Abandoned Adventures of Claire

So here are some terrible photos of a group of characters who will be appearing as of Issue #5 in the adventures of Claire.

Claire is blind, or close to it. These guys on the other hand see everything, since they hover in the background, observing everything. They are the Secret Chiefs, mysterious entities who look after our world. (Well, Claire's world.)

Alas!, I did not make up the Secret Chiefs, take a butcher's at this link HERE. This link is good too, and is sorta related - HERE.

There'll be more of these fellas as Claire stumbles through her adventures

(Likey the Chiefs? Wanna a T-shirt or print with them on it? Click HERE.)

But who is this Claire character I speak of? She's a Micturating Angel of course! Now, here's some photos of how I thought her adventures would go - but then abandoned this approach in favour of something a lot more experimental. Enjoy these jolly good examples of behind-the-scenes tomfoolery.

Want a T-shirt?

This may be premature as the comic has not really left the runway yet (slight delay due to health reasons), but in case you wanna show your support for independent/ obscure/ cult/ kvlt art, grab a T-shirt from [HERE] (opens in new tab/ window).
