Birmingham MCM Comic Con & Go Eat Worms

 

Hi! Thank you to everyone who came by my table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con! It was my first comic con of the year and a great way to kick things off! Thank you to everyone who bought a ink commission throughout the weekend and to my table neighbours for being great company!

I can also now confirm I'll have a table at London MCM Comic Con in May!
 

 

I've been developing a new long format comic/graphic novel called Go Eat Worms about a paranormal riot grrrl band who tour other worldly gig venues. I printed a 16 page full colour sample comic for the Laydeez Do Comics 'Laydeez Day' in London this Saturday. I believe there will be order forms at the event for this particular comic. I'll be around helping at the event so hopefully I'll see you there!

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.

Birmingham MCM Comic Con

Thank you to everyone at Birmingham MCM Comic Con. It was lovely sharing the table with Iella. I was only there Saturday this time and I'm sorry if I missed you! Most my comics are available through my Etsy shop. If you were hoping to get a portrait please email me at sammyborras@gmail.com

I haven't booked any conventions in 2018 just yet, but I'm hoping to be able to visit most of the same shows again next year! Thank you!

London MCM Comic Con and New Haunted Skatepark Comics

 

Thanks to everyone at London MCM Comic Con in October! Special thanks to Sarah Fogg for helping out all weekend! I will miss decorating the table for Halloween.

The last event of the year will be Birmingham MCM Comic Con (Saturday only). I will be sharing table CG9 with Iella. I have the usual comics, zines and merchandise along with FREE MINI COMICS to hand out!

I have printed a new comic in time for the weekend! Haunted Skatepark includes a short story comic and development work in the back pages. If you can't make it to Birmingham MCM Comic Con, please don't forget my comics and zines can be ordered online through my Etsy Shop. Thank you.

Birmingham MCM Comic Con March 2017

 

 

Thank you to everyone who came by my table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con over the weekend. It was a relatively quiet show but still really lovely to catch up with convention friends after a longer winter break. I had fun doing convention commissions for the first time in years, it went ok so I'm considering offering them at future shows.

The next event I'm going to be at is The Midland Lo-Operatives this Sunday afternoon at The Hare & Hounds. I regularly take a sketchbook to gigs and draw bands while I'm stood in the crowd and feature them in my music zines. The Hare & Hounds is a venue I often end up drawing at, so it's nice to be taking the zines there for an Alternative Art Market. Thanks, see you there!

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!
