Small Press Day 2016

Special thank you to Camila and the staff at Orbital Comics for putting on a lovely event for Small Press Day! The hour slot with Clíodhna, Jenika, Sina and Sean was good fun and the time flew by far too quickly!

I sent some gig sketches to One Beat Zines for a new zine they launched yesterday over at Gosh! Comics. It’s got a really great mixture of illustrations and comics!

Reminder: Laydeez do Comics Birmingham is on tomorrow night! Monday 11th July 7.30pm at The Victoria. Guest speakers will be Julie Pickering, Natalie Cutler & Bryony Attenburrow. See you there!! (ps. everyone is welcome - boys can come too)

Identity Anthology

 

I have a comic in One Beat Zine's new anthology, Identity. It will be launching this weekend at Thought Bubble - table 153 in New Dock Hall. There is a great in depth review by Andy Oliver on Broken Frontier - the site has also named the book 'comic of the week'! If you can't make it to Leeds Identity open for online preorders. Profits after printing will go to The Albert Kennedy Trust and The Feminist Library.

I will also be at Thought Bubble this weekend. I’m sharing table 59 in the Royal Armouries with A Little Lost Caterpillar! Please come by and say hello! All my usual comics and merchandise including Misc Fits: The Sea Apple and Giant Rhinos In Space will be available. I have a limited amount of copies of The Hallowzine and Radio On Broadcast #2. There will be free mini comics to hand out to anyone who would like a copy.

Autumn Anthologies

 Identity - Preorders Available!

Identity is a anthology published by One Beat Zines. Profits will be going to The Albert Kennedy Trust and The Feminist Library . There are 33 contributors and 80+ full colour pages! - you can see great previews and read more about it here. The book will be launching at Thought Bubble (New Dock Hall) this year - but a bit like a kickstarter - preorders are helpful for covering initial print costs.

Afrofutures_UK Anthology

Afrofutures_UK is an event being held in Manchester THIS WEEKEND - 10th October! It sounds absolutely fantastic and I’m sad I wont be able to attend. I think it’s all free entry! I’ve just spotted a zine making workshop on the schedule!! The anthology looks like it was a crowd funding reward and I’m not certain if it will be available as a physical book at the event. I’ll try to let you know if I find out more about either pdf or print publication.

Hallowzine

Jack Hugh Baker has compiled a full colour Halloween themed zine - one of my favourite things about Halloween is that everything is purple, orange and lime green. I don’t have all the full details of the other contributors at the moment, but the odd submission I’ve seen so far were all great! - you can see the cover artwork here. I have ordered a small amount of copies and hopefully I will have them on my table at London MCM Comic Con (Comic Village).

Radio On Broadcast 2

As far as I know Radio On Broadcast 2 will also be launching* at Thought Bubble (TB Marquee). It’s a music anthology published by The Analogue Press. My submission features one of my favourite bands to come from the midlands, Peace but also Beyonce.

*EDIT: Broadcast 2 will be launched at LICAF next weekend. - The Analogue Press have a table in the Comics Clocktower.

Not A New Wave: A Sleater-Kinney Fanzine

I have a 1 page comic in Not A New Wave, you can find out more about the zine on the One Beat Zines website. You can also order a copy through Big Cartel.

Record Store Day 2015

I went down to London for Gosh! Comics Record Store Day events. I had a great time with One Beat Zines painting St. Vincent next to Lizz Lunney’s Street Dogs and Eleni Kalokoti’s and Laura Callaghan‘s dancing girls. I dropped off a couple of copies of This Is Not A Serious Music Publication and Giant Rhinos In Space #1 and #2.
