Interpretive text
Jonathan McBurnie is an artist, writer and cartoonist based in Rockhampton, Australia. Born in 1983, McBurnie began self-publishing comic books at the age ten. He has a PhD from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney (2015) and is the current Director of Rockhampton Museum of Art. McBurnie is a published writer for publications including Eyeline, Catalogue, The Lifted Brow, Huxley, Penthouse Australia, the Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture, and Sneaky, where he was the Visual Arts Editor.
This work was created in 2008 when McBurnie was preparing for an exhibition with fellow Queensland artist Christian Flynn at Metro Arts, Brisbane. For this show McBurnie and Flynn wanted to deliver a collaborative book project, including works that were iconoclastic visual narratives, responding to the provocation ‘whether in the digital ago pop can still be considered a legitimate avenue for self expression.’ This work was not exhibited in the show but was created during this time of production.
