Volume

This year I've been part of the organisational team for Volume, Birmingham's Art, Book and Print Fair on 5th-7th of December at the brand new and amazing Central Library. I have a stall at the event on the Friday and Saturday where I should have copies of my new book Take Away for sale as well as a range of zines and comics by various artists.

As part of the event Birmingham Zine Festival is presenting another live "Make It Then Tell Everybody" panel (an event we started with Dan Berry at last year's BZF) This time the panel line up features the following speakers (listed below) on 3pm Saturday 7th December - you can book tickets here:

Hosted by Dan Berry – an illustrator, designer, cartoonist and lecturer will talk to other makers about the tools and techniques of comic artists and how emerging artists can promote and distribute what they do. 

Philippa Rice – creator of the webcomic My Cardboard Life, Recyclost, Looking Out and many other titles. http://mycardboardlife.com

Vivane Schwarz – creator of a number of books for children including There Are Cats In This Book, There Are No Cats In This Book and Welcome To Your Awesome Robot.

Thought Bubble 2013 This Weekend!

I'm at Thought Bubble this weekend! Table 157! I'm sharing a table with Joe Decie. My new book Take Away launches from Blank Slate books (available from their stall) and you will also be able to buy the Hic and Hoc Illustrated Journal of Humour Volume 2 (from me). Here's some of the stuff I'll be selling:

Take Away gift boxes! Contain two badges, sticker, Food Dudes mini zine, a fortune cookie and chopsticks.

I'll also bring some Lava Puke prints, brand new At The Theme Park comic and new badges.

I'm also on a panel Saturday at 10.40am about funny comics with Joe Decie, Jim Medway and Donya Todd- hosted by Woodrow Phoenix. See you there!

If you can't make it you can buy comics here in my online shop and i'll be listing the Take Away boxes next week. 

Exclusive Page 45 Card

“You always have friends when you have comics.”

Recently I was commissioned by Page 45 to design this exclusive card which comes FREE with Page 45 Gift Vouchers available online and in store now. There is also another design by Philippa Rice, so if you don't know what to buy you friends (if you have any) for Christmas I recommend Page 45 gift vouchers for all!
