#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 14
It was 3pm when I got into my room. It was roasting, probably because the rooms were right above the kitchen. I took some photos of it for my mom and friends. One friend, T, said a chair facing the bed was the "worst placed cuck chair I've ever seen". I replied "I know! I can't fuck someone's girlfriend in these conditions!" T said "...I was gonna say you can't watch but yeah that too."

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 13
Since I was staying in Sydney overnight, I stayed at the East Sydney Hotel. I struggled to find the reception desk though, and ended up asking one of the bartenders where the check in was, only to be told you sign in at the bar. Very strange place.

If you're in Australia, consider signing this to support Children's Ground. It's a successful program by and for First Nations people to provide cultural and welfare services for kids. They could do a lot more with real gov funding. action.childrensground.org.au

Page 12. I had a few hours before I'd be allowed to check into my hotel, so I decided to go to the Museum of Australia. But I was stopped by a security guard at the entrance who informed me that I wouldn't be allowed in with my small suitcase. They didn't have a bag/coat check, so unfortunately I had no other option than to leave.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 11
In the Sydney Airport, I wondered what the best way to get to where I needed to go was, since my hotel was at least a half hour away. Then I noticed that there was a train station underneath the airport on a line that would take me to where I needed to be. As I waited for my train, I saw other double decker trains on the opposite line. I didn't realise double decker trains existed, so I was pretty shocked.

Day 10. Even though the flight was only a couple of hours, I thought I might try to get some sleep in. That is, until I felt the unrelenting stare of a child sitting in the row in front of mine.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 9
Page 9. My dumb ass wore pants with metal decorations on them, so I set off the airport metal detectors. I was brought aside and asked to rub the front of my pants with one hand so the agent could swab my hand for explosive materials. Very awkward to do in public. The agent scraped my hand with a test strip, which tested negative for explosives, obviously, so I was free to go.

Page 8. The 31st of January. Since I live a good hour and a bit away from my nearest airport, and my flight was at 9am, I stayed at Bianca's house the night before. She was kind enough to drop me to the airport as well, because I don't have a car. Unfortunately, I barely got any sleep because it was super hot the night before. But the show must go on!

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 7
Page 7. Headed into Big W to buy some slacks for the ceremony when mom ran into a friend of hers. She asked what we were up to, to which mom bragged that we were buying some clothes for my award ceremony. The friend asked what the ceremony was for, and I explained the Comic Arts Awards of Australia. She asked if I draw, and mom replied that I draw all the time. Drawing is probably the most well known thing about me, so I was surprised she didn't know that.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 6
Page 6. I was watching the livestream for the previous CAAA ceremony on YouTube to try and get a feel for the event beforehand, and came to a chilling discovery. The fact that I would have to give a speech if I won an award. A lot of people don't know this about me (I don't really talk about it), but I have stage fright. BAD stage fright. I thought "I guess I'm gonna have to write a speech in advance for once in my life..."

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 5
Page 5. Trying to figure out what to wear to the ceremony, I started an internal monologue. "Ugh... I have no idea what to wear. I don't want to go too formal and look like a jackass... But I also don't want to look too casual and make it look like I don't appreciate being there... But I'll be around a bunch of Australians so they might not dress up at all!"

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 4
Page 4. The full short-list was published to the CAAA website as they were still announcing them online. Up until now, their social media had been showcasing one comic per day, and I really wanted to see if there were any other Adelaide based artists. And there was! Alice Lam, who'd submitted the first 2 chapters if her welcoming Adelaide and the Shooting Star. Go read it it's so good! My hopes for maybe winning an award diminished with every new name I read, even though I was convinced I'd only be fit for a bronze. As I read, I realised one artist had two comics in the short-list, which made me wonder again why TSD wasn't good enough while FCF was.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 3
Page 3. On Thursday the 8th, my birthday, CAAA announced which of my comics were shortlisted. To my surprise, it was First Comic Fair! I was pretty shocked, as previously mentioned, I thought it would be Top Surgery Diary since I consider it to be the better of the pair. I also quickly realised they spelt Bianca's name wrong in the announcement graphic, so I had to suck up the courage to ask them to correct it. I also got some really nice messages from other artists, even a few I had only met once from other states.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 2
Page 2. When I got home, I realised something about my nomination. I didn't actually know which comic they were referring to. I had submitted both the autobio comics I printed in 2024. Finn and Bianca's First Comic Fair (FCF for short), and Finn's Top Surgery Diary (TSD for short). I didn't even know if it would be one or both comics, the email didn't say. I came to the independent conclusion that it would be TSD and called it a day. Beside, the CAAA committee were starting to announce the shortlisters, so I figured I'd find out soon.

#Inktober2026 Finn's First Solo Trip Day 1
A introduction page to the comic, which when finished will be called Finn's First Solo Trip. The text reads "In early 2026, I was shortlisted for the 2025 Comic Arts Awards of Australia. The 2025 awards were for any projects published in 2024. I decided to fly to Sydney from Adelaide and spend the weekend there for the ceremony. The following comics are a collection of anything important or funny that happened. Hope you enjoy!" Underneath that paragraph is a short message crediting the Indigenous peoples Finn makes his comics on. "This comic was made on the lands of the Ramindjeri people of the Ngarrindjeri nation. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land." There is also a Ngarrindjeri flag.Page 1. On January 6th, 2026, I finished work a little early and decided to check my email before clocking out. I opened my email to find an email from Daniel Rathborn, informing me I was shortlisted for the Comic Arts Awards of Australia. I immediately screenshotted the email and sent it to everyone I knew. Even though I submitted to the awards, I truly believed I wouldn't be nominated.

There is no winning in comics. Watercolor and gouache on watercolor paper. #comics
"Cartooning will destroy you. It will break your heart"- Charles M. Schulz, quoted by my self-portrait penguin who is lying on top of Snoopy's doghouse.

Comics is a tough job, with long hours, little pay, and often abusive conditions. Osamu Tezuka's last words were "I'm begging you, let me work".

Even those who "make it" often end up broke, broken, or both. So why bother at all? This panel shows two Kirbyesque beings fighting.

I've got it pretty sweet. I'm not famous, but I draw what I want, when I want, and I get paid to do it! Not much, but still... This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait pulling a fish bone out of a trash can while wearing a Heathcliff hat.

"Success" or "Failure" ain't nothing but what you think they are. Just gotta do it for the love of the game. This panel depicts my penguin self-portrait getting beaned with a brick, a la Krazy Kat.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Inside the bell jar madoka is positioned like a ballerina figurine, holdeing her arrow. Another kyubey is staring into it, menacing. There’s a decorative, red border around the whole image with sparkles and kyubey faces
