seriously, someone should totally do this story for real. it’s like the last samurai meets 300, but with aliens. i’m a little busy with another story at the moment though, so hollywood, if you’re reading this, i’m totally ready to sell out.

well, now you know why i started this story arc with the last illustration. now i’m half tempted to write a spinoff series about the adventures of “sedna the space ninja”, a brave young girl warrior who travels the galaxy saving planets from the threat of destruction by an evil alien empire. quick, someone stop me before i talk myself into it!

finding reference images for aussie primary schools on google images is surprisingly hard, so it was lucky i thought to take some photos last time i went to my sisters’ school on parents’ day a few years ago.

to preemptively answer a few questions:
– yes, our desks are arranged like that.
– no, it’s actually a pretty great system. everyone else is doing it wrong.
– no, no one calls it elementary school except people who watch too much american tv.
– year 6 = 6th grade, but since the first grade is kindergarten it’s technically 7th grade.

after one of my first ever days of school i turned to my mum and asked in a voice of pure desperation “you mean i have to do this for 13 years?!”, and she’s never let me hear the end of it. to be fair, 19 years later and i still stand by 5-year-old me. it really did suck as much as i thought it would.

make sure not to forget the whirlybirds (or “attic fans” as some boring people like to call them) when drawing buildings in australia, they’re a quintessential part of our culture.
