1 5 y separately published work icon Still Alive : Notes from Australia's Immigration Detention System Safdar Ahmed , Safdar Ahmed (illustrator), Ventnor : Twelve Panels Press , 2021 22579311 2021 single work graphic novel

'In early 2011, Safdar Ahmed visited Sydney’s Villawood Immigration Detention Centre for the first time. He brought pencils and sketchbooks into the centre and started drawing with the people detained there. Their stories are told in this book.

'Interweaving journalism, history and autobiography, Still Alive is an intensely personal indictment of Australia’s refugee detention policies and procedures. It is also a searching reflection on the redemptive power of art. And death metal.'

1 1 y separately published work icon The Salty River Jan Bauer , Ventnor : Twelve Panels Press , 2015 8677151 2015 single work graphic novel

'After a difficult separation, Jan Bauer goes soul searching in the Australian desert. His plan is to walk along the “Lhere pirnte”, The Salty River. A trip that is 450 kilometres long that will take him through the barren, red-hot heart of Australia. With each step through this strange, harsh, and yet beautiful landscape, he slowly lets go of the pain that has been weighing him down. The situation changes when Jan meets a French hiker who joins him on his journey. Slowly but surely, like the flow of the salty river, the two desert travelers grow closer together.

'The Salty River, the graphic novel debut by Hamburg-based illustrator and animation filmmaker Jan Bauer, tells a tender and unexpected love story set against a beautifully illustrated spectacular natural scenery.' (Publication summary)
