I’m a writer, editor, teacher, and speaker you should just constantly >> hire. << Contributor to The Believer, the Australian, Lucky Peach, Meanjin, Dumbo Feather, and the Australian Book Review, comics and graphic novels critic for ABC Radio, teacher in the writing programs at Swinburne and the University of Melbourne, and founder (nowadays art editor) of The Lifted Brow.
I’ve published essays about spray-tans, nature documentaries, the culture of Australian music festivals, morph suits, Alanis Morissette, David Foster Wallace, art comics, spatial theory, Javier Marias, online privacy, Spain, Croatia, Destroyer, and mutant fish. I’m currently teaching a fourth-year course in Graphic Narratives and writing an art catalogue for the National Gallery of Victoria. “What a pro!”
