Liverpool MCM Comic Con 2016

Thank you to everyone who came by my table at Liverpool MCM Comic Con. Sorry for setting up a bit late, that was the earliest train available. Sorry if I missed you on Saturday evening, I was unwell and when the convention hall got quieter I decided to leave early to rest up for the next day. Table neighbors, venue & MCM staff and convention punters were all lovely at this show, thanks for looking out for me!

I'll be at Birmingham MCM Comic Con at the NEC this weekend - you can find my table CD4 in the Comic Village (there should be maps available in the show guide - which should go online in the next couple of days). I will have free mini comics to hand out, so please come say hi! More events listed in the blog sidebar or you can order online through Etsy.

I've started doing the Draw Everyday Challenge - inspired by Yen Quach. I'm going to be posting them daily on twitter, and in weekly photo sets on my tumblr blog - draw every day tag.

Giant Rhinos and Black Like My Heart are both fictional bands from my comic series Giant Rhinos In Space - you can follow chapters 1-3 online over the next 2 weeks on giantrhinos.tumblr.com (or read via Tapastic/Smack Jeeves). Chapter 4 will be launching at the end of November.

I have 2 conventions left this season - comics, drumsticks, plectrums and more!

• Leeds - Thought Bubble - Table 59A, Royal Armouries Hall

I’m going to be taking free mini comics to both events. Please don’t hesitate - if you would like a comic and I’ve missed handing you one, just casually ask me for a business card.

ICE and Moseley Folk Festival 2015

I had a table at ICE (International Comic Expo) in Birmingham on Saturday and I also helped out at Moseley Folk Festival over the weekend. Unfortunately the busy Friday meant I opened my suitcase on Saturday morning to find I hadn't packed any copies of Giant Rhinos In Space #3 - I'm really sorry for the inconvenience and I will be posting them out to people who bought bundles later today. I had a lot of fun sharing the table with Laura Watton/PinkAppleJam - thank you to everyone who came by to chat about pens and comics!!

My next event will be Scotland MCM Comic Con in Glasgow - I don't have the details of my table location yet, but it will be somewhere in the Comic Village. My friends have told me good things about this show so I'm really excited to take my comics to Scotland for the first time. I have a up to date list of events in the sidebar - if you can't make it to any I also have an Etsy shop with comics and original drawings for sale. Thank you! 

I also took my gig sketch book along to the folk festival and did some drawing in my free time - please visit my music blog on tumblr for more photos, videos and information about the bands. (There are more gig sketches from this year using the tumblr tag 'gig sketches'.)

Giant Rhinos IN SPACE 2013 Summer Blog

I'm hoping to spend some time this summer working on Giant Rhinos In Space. It's a 'graphic novel' project I started writing when I was at university. You can follow the project blog on blogger or tumblr. This drawing is of Annie (front right) and her alien band.
