Thought Bubble!

This weekend I'll be at Thought Bubble in Leeds. You can find me at table 156 in the New Dock Hall! Here is a handy map to help you locate my table.....

I'll be selling lots of new stuff! New comic! New tote bags! New badges! See you there.

100 Houses

This weekend I have artwork in the 100 Houses Exhibition in Bristol! I'll be adding the comic strip to my website soon so you can read it or go see it in real life! All artwork is for sale and the money will go to Shelter, here is some more info:

 ‘100 Houses‘ brings together 100 national and international image-makers from illustrators to street artists in support of housing and homelessness charity Shelter. Given the theme of “house” each artist will produce a unique piece of artwork specifically for this exhibition, culminating in an exhibition launch at the vibrant, South Bristol Cafe/Bar the Tobacco Factory in November. Each piece of artwork will be for sale, with a percentage of the profits going directly to Shelter. It is hoped that the project will generate a significant amount to support the ongoing work of the charity Shelter in its work and support for the homeless.

100 Houses opens on November 16th and runs until November 30th. Artworks not sold during the show will be posted for online sale for one month only! More details coming soon.
The Tobacco Factory is open Mon – Thurs 12pm – 11pm, Fri – Sat 12pm – 12am and Sun 10am – 11pm. A website dedicated to the project will launch in October, featuring a gallery of artworks and links to all participating artists.

Comica

I'm at Comica tomorrow!

At the...END OF YOUR GARDEN!

My new comic launches at Thought Bubble in a couple of weeks! It is now in my online shop for pre-order and will ship next week. I should have a few copies for sale next weekend at Comica too if I get it back from print in time (fingers crossed)

PRE-ORDER HERE!

I have also added tote bags, prints and new badges to the shop which are available now. Get your Christmas shopping done early!

ONLINE SHOP HERE!

HUMAN WEEK!

Lately I have been making an effort to introduce more humans to my comics. I realised that I hardly ever write female characters and I even more rarely write stories featuring actual humans. So as a special event to mark the November convention season and the launch of my new comic (news on that soon) I'm holding a whole week of online comics from 12th to 16th November to celebrate humans. HUMAN WEEK! Lots of fun for humans, objects and animals alike.

Zinefest Berlin

German comics news:

You'll be able to buy my comics at Zinefest Berlin this weekend. Wish I could be there too.

Also here is a photo I have borrowed of my book on the Zwerchfell stand at Frankfurt Book Fair from a few weeks ago. Hope everyone had a good time!

BZF Photos and thanks!

This weekend was BZF! I was one of the organisers so apologies if you saw me and I was running around like crazy. I have just put some photos on Flickr here! And there will be more links and reviews on the website in the next week or so: here!

Thanks to everyone who was involved for making it such a successful Festival this year.

Here are highlights of some of the things I was involved in:

The Make It Then Tell Everybody panel talks hosted by Dan Berry were on Saturday with a complimentary exhibition of process artwork at 6/8 Kafe from the artists involved (photo above)

Here are some photos of everyone after the talks featuring: Dan Berry, me, Philippa Rice, Marc Ellerby, Luke Pearson and in the second photo Kristyna Baczynski, Jonathan Edwards, WJC, Felt Mistress, Dan Berry and Joe List. The talks were recorded thanks to Simon Berry so will be online to listen to soon. Thanks also go to Page 45 for their support of these panels.

The talks were held in the Patrick Centre at Birmingham Hippodrome- look we even got fancy Hippodrome water!

 

Here is a photo of Marc in the audience:

On Sunday I was part of Jonathan Edward's Draw Serge event at Le Truc as part of Eye Candy: it was fun to be involved even though I should have preplanned to draw mine so it wasn't behind the lamp! doh! I'll be drawing a more considered Serge for the blog soon. Here is a video featuring the Draw Serge event too!

Loads of other exciting things happened over the weekend including the main fair, after show party with Misty's Big Adventure (below) and Henry Homesweet and a nice relaxing end to the festival with Kino 10 Finnish animation showing at 6/8 on Sunday evening.
