Inktober 1 of 3

Inktober is a challenge to practice ink drawings throughout October. I was too busy with printing new comics and going to events to take part during October but I think the practice is valuable so I decided to Inktober in November instead. I coloured some of my favourite illustrations.

I'm excited about going to Thought Bubble already. The convention is happening on the 23rd-24th November in Leeds. Inspired Comics Collective will have a table in the Allied London Hall. There will be 3 halls for the first time this year.

This Is Not A Serious Music Publication Halloween Playlist

Children Of The Night is a new Goth themed anthology I created with Sarah Fogg. We both contributed 3 short story comics each and the cover was illustrated by Sarah.

UoG Small Press Fair and What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? Autumn 2013

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.

Final Fantasy Wedding Invitations

My friend Laura is getting married this year. Laura is a writer and we have worked together on several short story comics. Laura and Tom chose the Final Fantasy theme and layout for these invitations.
