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.

Do What You Want at DIY Cultures


I had a really great time at DIY Cultures yesterday helping out on the Do What You Want table with Clio Isadora. We only had one box of DWYW zines and they all sold - so thank you very much to everyone who bought a copy! Preorders are open for a 2nd print run of the zine, and an ebook is available from the website.

I'm going to be at Afroflux Comic Con this Sunday at the Birmingham Hippodrome. The event is Free entry so please come say hi! I will have more table space this time, so I'll bring a bigger selection of comics and zines. I've got plenty of free mini comics to hand out!

InZine #5 and Event News




The comic page is from a short autobio story I drew for the Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham Hometown anthology. (the next LDC Birmingham event will be on Monday 4th April) I have some events news so it felt fitting to include the page here...

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table at InZine Fest #5. It's always a lovely relaxed atmosphere and I had a great time chatting to local comics friends Joe Krawec, Timothy Conroy and Rees Finlay.

The next event will be the Birmingham Comics Festival - I'll be sharing a table with Joe Krawec and Angus Medford who will be launching their new comic Blood. (I wont be taking the folder of original drawings to this event due to space) I will have free mini comics to hand out.

I can also now confirm a 1/2 table at Thought Bubble! I'm super excited because it's my favourite event of the year. The convention will held on the first weekend of November.

A up to date list of events can be found on the blog sidebar (more added once confirmed) - Please don't forget I have an Etsy shop which ships world wide.

Birmingham MCM Comic Con November 2014


Thank you to everyone who came by my table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con. It was strange doing a big event without Sarah Fogg so thank you very much to Lisa and Shaz for helping out.

I’m hoping to have some table space at the next InZine Fest - 12-5pm at The Pod (Coventry) on Saturday 6th December. See Facebook for more information.

And I’m sure I’ll see some of you in the new year at True Believers Comic Festival!
But if you can’t get to events you can order most of the items on the table from on Sarah’s Etsy Shop or my Etsy Shop.

InZine Fest


Thank you to everyone at InZine Fest in Coventry yesterday! I had a really great time despite a recovering headcold. It was good to meet local zine and comics creators and some arty students who passed through.

The next event I'm attending with Sarah Fogg will be the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair next saturday! We're sharing a half table so stock will be slightly limited. We're on time so far to launch the next issue of our music zine This Is Not A Serious Music Publication and the autumn issue of What's The Time Mrs. Woolf?
