Open Studio: Stuart McMillen

Stuart McMillen is a cartoonist based in Canberra, Australia. Stuart draws long-form comics inspired by social issues involving science, ecology, sustainability, psychology and economics. Stuart uses intriguing real-life historical events, such as published science experiments, as the basis of his non-fiction comics. He is currently publishing a series called Twenty-Five Arguments Against Billboards via his website: http://website stuartmcmillen.com

Stuart invites guests into his studio to see his workspace. Stuart will demonstrate how he crates his comics digitally using a graphics tablet, and answer any questions about being a self-employed comics artist.

Stuart’s studio will be open as part of Gorman Arts Centre open studios.
