Birmingham MCM Comic Con & Go Eat Worms






Hi! Thank you to everyone who came by my table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con! It was my first comic con of the year and a great way to kick things off! Thank you to everyone who bought a ink commission throughout the weekend and to my table neighbours for being great company!

I can also now confirm I'll have a table at London MCM Comic Con in May!
 






I've been developing a new long format comic/graphic novel called Go Eat Worms about a paranormal riot grrrl band who tour other worldly gig venues. I printed a 16 page full colour sample comic for the Laydeez Do Comics 'Laydeez Day' in London this Saturday. I believe there will be order forms at the event for this particular comic. I'll be around helping at the event so hopefully I'll see you there!

Kaleidoscope #2




Thank you to everyone who bought comics and zines at Kaleidoscope on Tuesday night (sorry for the dull photo quality - it was quite dark at the event). The event had free live music but I only managed to sketch Brain Food while I was there. Sorry I had to leave at 11pm, if anyone was hoping to buy something and missed me you can find most my comics available to order online through my Etsy shop. 

Don't forget I'll be at Birmingham MCM Comic Con this weekend - you'll be able to find my table CJ9 in the Comic Village section of the hall. I'll have the usual free mini comics to hand out! If you'd like a commission please come by early to allow plenty of time to complete your drawing during convention opening hours.

Hourly Comic Day 2018













Hi! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. It was a busy time of the year for me with a couple of January deadlines. I also took part in Hourly Comic Day - a challenge to draw 1 autobio comic for every hour you're awake on the 1st February. I printed mini zines which are now available to order through my Etsy shop.

On the day I visited a new event in Digbeth called Kaleidoscope and sketched some of the bands while I was there. The event showcases local music and art on the 1st day of each month. I'm going to be taking my music zines to their next event on Thursday 1st March. 

I've also just confirmed a table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con on 17th-18th March! You'll be able to find me in the Comic Village section of the show.

I'm hoping to get more events booked, a lot of shows seem to be leaving everything relatively last minute this year.
