‘Bru & Boegie in HELL’ reclaimed

Around 2005 I exhibited my first Bru & Boegie comics at a group exhibition in Durban at a gallery called ‘Artspace’. I printed loads of ‘Bru & Boegie in HELL’ comics – a collection of  my first Bru & Boegie comics and their first print-run ever. I sold some books at the exhibition and left the remaining books at the gallery and kind of forgot about them. Lo and behold, someone emailed me recently saying they bought a Bru & Boegie comic there and they love it. I got in touch with Artspace and the gallery manager was kind enough to let me pay for having the remaining books send back to me. Prior to this I didn’t own any of the original print-run, so I’m super-stoked to have a bunch now that I intend on keeping. For those that are familiar with my work, I started Bru & Boegie in 2002 while at University and used to regularly upload comics onto my dedicated Bru & Boegie site. They were what got me into starting a website, experimenting with weird comics, and they’re a pretty integral part of my comics history.
