Desk of DREAMS!

It's a bit of a miserable November afternoon so I thought I'd share a photo of my workspace. A while ago I drew this for this interview:
....but now that dream has come true! This is my current desk area. It was looking unusually tidy so I thought it would be a good time to share with annotations:

It's bigger if you click on it! What is missing from that photo is tea so I'm going to go and make some now. Also my lightbox/scanner/paper trimmer/paper which I keep safely on the floor.

Tomorrow I hope to see you at the Sol Pop launch night! And then on Saturday I will be at Comica and I've also sent a bunch of comics along to the South East London Zine Fest.

WOO!

Depressed Cat Book!

You can now pre-order my new book Depressed Cat: Nine Miserable Lives from my website shop!! I will be sending copies out in a couple of weeks and I'll also be selling copies at Comica and Thought Bubble conventions- at a special discounted convention price!

I'll be having an online launch on the week of the 14th November with a special Depressed Cat mini site featuring lots of fan art and comics :¬(

Follow DC on twitter here!

(I also meant to say- if you are pre-ordering just the Depressed Cat book and no other items then postage will be free so I'll refund the postage charge when you order!)

MCM EXPO LONDON!

This weekend I will be exhibiting at MCM Comic Village! I'm *hoping* new badges arrive in time but I'm not sure if they will or not. If not I will still have my usual stock- which all make great xmas presents for your friends and family so come and buy everything so I don't have to carry things home!

If I do have new badges they will look like this:

I will also be selling a few limited copies of my German book for anyone who likes to read comics in German instead of English!

See you there!

German Book!

I have a few copies of my German book "Ich liebe Katzen und Katzen lieben mich" available for order in the UK direct from me- so if anyone wants a copy get in touch. It is £8 with free p&p! 72 pages of comics all translated into German! See this blog post for some sample comics from the book. Just email me sushimonsters at gmail dot com and I will send you an invoice.

It is also available on German Amazon and in all good stockists across Germany!

Read some reviews of the book here and here!

Romantic Bison!

You can now read my Romantic Bison comic on Top Shelp 2.0! Go read!

And there is a bit about it here on Comic Book Resources.


Really into bison? Then don't forget my other bison story Buffalo Mozzerella on Comical Animal!

Or you can buy a hard copy of the Bison story in my shop. (now in pink cover only)

Not into Bison? pfft! why ever not!

Upcoming!

Since the start of September you may have noticed a lack of online comics on my website again. This is because I've been busy working on various projects that are taking up most of my time. I'll be announcing more exciting news soon but for now- here are the main things I've been drawing the past few weeks :
Depressed Cat THE BOOK! If I get it finished in time I hope to release the book at Thought Bubble, put possibly earlier if it is back from the printers before then. It will be a textured cover A6 size comic book with a spine (A SPINE!) collecting all the DC strips and lots of new ones too! I'm also collecting fan art so if you want to send in a drawing of DC please do. The fan art will all go on the website and here on the blog when the book is launched. Don't forget to follow DC's tweets!

I have also been working on Solipsistic Pop 4 (For this I have written a three page story about mind mapping for issue theme of maps) and Ink and Paper! (In this I have a two page story about a fortune teller) Sneak peeks of both below! Don't forget you can still fund/pre-order sol pop here.



I think I will probably be delaying the release of At The Lighthouse until next March so that there is a new "At The..." comic every year (unless I suddenly get a lot done in the next few weeks in which case it could be out soon)

Anyway, here is a comic as a special prize for this week. And tomorrow is Grizzly Bear Thursday!

Comical Animal 5!

It's that time again! A NEW ISSUE OF COMICAL ANIMAL IS OUT!

I have written a story for this issue called Buffalo Mozzarella which comes with this handy BUFFALO/BISON comparison chart-


Why not try using this diagram to identify this beaut below- photo taken at the Natural History Museum in New York by Felt Mistress! :oD

I also drew the gift adopted Aye Aye- Pippin for issue 5!

There are some really great stories this issue- Enjoy!
