BCZF 2016



  

Thanks to everyone at BCZF this weekend. It was really great to be back again this year, I love meeting so many fashionable Bristolians. Special thanks to the organizers for hosting such a lovely event! Next show will be London MCM Comic Con at the end of October. I'll be spread out over a full table in the Comic Village - which means I can bring a folder of ink drawings. Please come say hi and pick up 2016's free mini comic! For table number and map location keep an eye out for tweets nearer the day. See you there!

Scotland MCM Comic Con 2016






Thank you to everyone at Scotland MCM Comic Con over the weekend! It was really lovely to see people from last year and meet new people. I have a 1/2 table at the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair this Saturday. Best zine fair of the year - see you there?! I’ll be bringing FREE MINI COMICS as usual!


If you can't make it to Bristol, there's a list of autumn events in the blog sidebar and don't forget I have an online Etsy shop - ships worldwide.




I managed to catch some great bands play in Glasgow on the Friday night before the event - Joyce Delaney, Crywank & The Tuts. More gig sketches on my music blog tag.

Bristol Comic and Zine Fair 2015


Thank you to everyone who came by at the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair yesterday. I had a lovely time sat next to Mair Thomas and Hamish Steele.

The next event will be London MCM Comic Con at the end of October. I was hoping to share the table with Sarah Fogg but unfortunately she needs to take a break from conventions this term. I’ve missed Sarah a lot when I’ve been at events on my own - so I’m hoping she’ll be back doing small press stuff again next year. You should definitely follow her beautiful diverse inktober pictures over on her tumblr. You’ll be able to find the table in the Comic Village (table numbers will be announced nearer the date and maps are usually in the convention guide which you can find at the show or online)

Updated autumn events:
Thank you to everyone at Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham on Thursday night. It’s always great to get a chance to chat to local comics creators. I did a presentation about the Misc Fits creation process. I'm going to post the slides online over the next couple of weeks. 

LDC Birmingham will be hosting presentations at Caption at Fargo Village in Coventry next weekend - 10am-6pm on Saturday 10th and 11am-4pm on Sunday 11th October 2015. You may have heard of Caption before, it’s an event which used to run in Oxford and I’m looking forward to see it come to my home town. More information on their website

How To Draw Misc Fits, Scotland MCM and Laydeez Do Comics






Hi everyone! I had a absolutely amazing time at Scotland MCM Comic Con. I’d like to say a massive thank you to all the lovely people who came by my table over the weekend - I had such a great time and I’m happy that sales were good enough to travel to the event again next year.

I have 2 events this week to tell you about ...

I’m doing a presentation at Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham at 7.30-9.30 on Thursday 1st October at the Green Room Cafe (it’s opposite the Hippodrome, not far from New Street station). I’ll be mostly talking about the creation of Misc Fits and I’ll take along some of the original comic pages for you to look through. Jess Bradley, Joe Krawec and Dori Kirchmair will also be doing presentations - more information on the LDC website.

Then on Saturday 3rd October 2015 I’m heading down to the Bristol Comic and Zine Fair - The event is FREE ENTRY! I only have a half table at this show so I  will only be able to take comics and small merchandise such as plectrums and badges. If you were hoping to pick up a poster or a specific ink drawing (I have some listed on Etsy) give me a message and I’ll bring them along for you.

More autumn events are listed in the blog sidebar - and if you can’t make it to Bristol, London or Leeds, I have an Etsy shop were you can order online. I’m hoping I can confirm a table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again!

Bristol Comic and Zine Fair 2014


  


Thank you very much to everyone at the Bristol Comic and Zine Fair yesterday! I had fun with Sarah Fogg behind the table drawing glittery make up on some of my Free Mini Comics.

The next event on our comics tour will be The Lakes International Comic Arts Festival (LICAF). We have a half table in the Comics Clock Tower. Please come and say hi. We’ll be taking some Free Mini Comics to hand out - the secret password is ‘Do you have a business card?’. (full events list can be found on the blog sidebar)

If you’re interested if buying some some comics and can’t make it to any of the events they are available to order online through Sarah’s Etsy Shop or my Etsy Shop (which has finally been converted into GBP).

Comica Comiket






Thank you to everyone who came by our table at Comica Comiket! I just wish the library was open a bit longer - I was having too much fun

The next event will be the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair on Saturday 4th October 2014. I will be sharing half a table with Sarah Fogg again so we will be bringing slightly limited stock. But we really love making new things so there will probably be something brand new on the table.

We can also confirm that our table at Thought Bubble will be in New Dock Hall! for further information on events see the blog sidebar.

Bristol Comic and Zine Fair 2013



I had a fantastic time at the Bristol Comic and Zine Fair with on saturday. I shared the table with Inspired Comics Collective, quarterly zine What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? and Sarah Fogg. Thank you very much to everyone who came by our table for a chat and comics. We'll be at 3 events over october so we thought we'd add some spooky elements to our photos this year. The photoshoping this time is by Sarah Fogg.

This weekend the University of Gloucestershire is holding a small press fair. It will be in a marquee in Imperial Square, Cheltenham. The literature festival is also on all this week so there should be more to see than just the art fair.

We are also handing out free mini comics at every event. The secret password is 'Do you have a business card?' but hopefully we will have passed you some before you need to use that.
