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.

Hourly Comic Day 2017

It was Hourly Comic Day last week - an annual challenge to produce one journal comic per waking hour of the day. I've printed my comic into a mini zine like in previous years. It's now available to order through my Etsy shop. I can confirm I have a table at both Birmingham and London MCM this year. I've applied for a couple events in 2017 so check the blog sidebar for an up to date list. Thank you!

Hourly Comic Day 2014 Mini Comic

I decided to print my Hourly Comic Day 2014, ready to take to Midlands MCM Comic Con in Telford on Saturday 15th February. I will be sharing a table with Sarah Fogg in the Comic Village.

I used my Witchsona illustration as the cover because the character design is mentioned a couple of times in the comic. The comics are also available to order from my Etsy shop.

Hourly Comic Day 2014

Hourly Comic Day is on 1st February every year. People all around the world draw 1 comic per hour they are awake. I have done this challenge on and off for about 4 years.

At the beginning of December I fell of my bike and fractured my jaw, cut open my lip and chin and one of my front teeth shattered. The scar on my lip doesn't really look like a line, but I think it looks different enough to draw it in some way so I decided to draw it in a symbolic way rather than a visual representation.
