Hola! Long time reader from Melbourne, Aus.

Post by van » Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:39 am

Hey all.

My name's Mike, though I've gone by Van online for about as long as it's been since I grew out of SUPER AWESOM!!!111`` usernames - so about 9 years now. Long time reader of Real Life - since about 2000 I'd say. Maybe a little later, not sure.

Hah, I can still remember the time I asked Greg - back in the black & white Real Life days - if he'd let me colour the comic for him. I think he liked what I did, but in the end it was just going to be too difficult to schedule things given the time difference. Or maybe what I did was just complete crap ;)

I'm a 27yr old graphic designer and amateur illustrator from Melbourne, Australia. I've worked in a variety of design roles in the last 5 or so years, but these days I'm running the design office at a large signage company here in outer Melbourne. It's an interesting move going from magazines and other more traditional printing, to the newly evolving world of digital printing for building and vehicle signage.

God, who the hell wants to hear about that haha, sorry folks!

Jeez, what else to say. I mentioned I'm an amateur illustrator, so I guess the spammage ought to commence. My rubbish can be found at http://van.vox.com and http://vanvan.deviantart.com - though I mostly use my Vox account these days.

Anyway, that's probably it I guess. I've been "meaning to join" for years now, so I guess this is it. Hopefully I can fit in!

Cheers all :)

G'day mate.
I like the cut of your jib already - I'm a sucker for posters who take the time to put up photos of women whose one physical flaw is that they're not running one eye, giving me a dirty look with the other and shouting 'you promised not to!'
