Matt Zurbo once did comedy with a bloated ex-wrestler called the Perculator and dominatrix, Mz Velvet Black. Other than that his life is quite strange. He balances life as a bush worker, harvesting tree ferns and regenerating temperate rainforest, in the ranges behind the Great Ocean Road, surfing badly and playing bush footy, with his writing and drawing. He is not an international man of mystery, just very vague.  He’s into live music and has a dog called Bucket.

First there is a story, under the story are the themes, through the themes and story is the language. All of them should be honest and raw, and inspire people to feel, while the challenge for me is to never write the same type of book twice.
