HOW DO YOU GET CARTOON DAVE LIVE AT YOUR SCHOOL???
One way is to click on the 'SCHOOL VISITS' page, print out the info sheets and WAVE THEM IN FRONT OF YOUR TEACHER or SCHOOL LIBRARIAN'S FACE!!! (this may do the trick, or it may just get you a detention. Worth the risk though, don't you think?)
Also, following the success of his 'U.F.O - Unavoidable Family Outing' novel series, Dave loves to strap on his super-groovy AUTHOR hat and present highly spectacular interactive AUTHOR TALKS... Click on 'Contact Dave' and drop him an email to organise a date for your school!
       
Want to get out of your house and see Cartoon Dave LIVE??? In the actual flesh??? Besides billions of school visits, some appearances on some of the best TV shows in the world and the odd trip to his local grocery store once every couple of weeks, Dave will be visiting plenty of schools, libraries and art galleries during 2010.

Twitter, Facebook, Bebo, MySpace... Oh yes... Dave's so internet savvy he's about to pop!!! Follow him, Friend him, or just poke your nose in to see who he's friends with... you know you wanna...
Guess who has a whole new book ready to hit stores in August 2010... Can't say much, but if you like your heroes a little on the STUPID side, you'll be ready to sink your slimy little teeth into the first book in the series... MORE ABOUT THIS IN THE WEEKS TO COME...
 
In October 2008, I took part in a super fab day called 'March of the Penguins', where myself and a host of other Penguin authors (Morris Glietzman, Felice Arena etc) stood on stage and did our thing in front of 1500 students from a bunch of Victoria schools. To check out a 5 minute video extravaganza of everyone in action zoom off to the LINKS page and click on the MARCH OF THE PENGUINS link

  This is a show that I'll be appearing on EVERY SECOND THURSDAY, starting with Sept 2nd, then Sept 16, then Sept 30... (get the idea?) Tune in for some HOT Cartooning tips, and some guaranteed goofy stuff! It's on the channel with a big TEN on it.
CARTOON DAVE (that's me) is about to record a new season's worth of famous face caricatures for that fab show 'IT'S ACADEMIC' (See Dave on Channel 7, Fridays @ 4:30pm). Yes, I know... you've seen me scribbling famous people dozens and dozens of times before, but I'm back in '10 for what will be my SEVENTH SEASON with It's Academic. All right!

What Cartoon Dave is up to at this very second...
READING: A highly enlightening book called 'A guide to keeping poultry in Australia'. It's all about chooks, chook houses, chook poo, and chook eggs. Fascinating stuff. Great for anyone seriously into chooks, or anyone who wants to be the school's authority on all things feathery and clucky. Four stars.
Plus, as always, Stephen King's 'On Writing' is never far from my reach.
Oh, and I've also been checking out a great picture book by Gus Gordon called 'Wendy'. Check it out at www.gusgordon.com
WATCHING: : Have been suckered into the world of iCarly. Aah, that crazy Spencer...
LISTENING TO: Alvin and the Chipmunks - The Squeakquel (Soundtrack). Yup.. there's nothing I like better than hearing "...all the single ladies... all the single ladies..." sung in squeeze-your-undies-tight voices over and over and over again. Bring on the next squeakqeul... |
