Giant Rhinos Drumsticks and New Plectrum Designs


I’d like to say a quick thank you to everyone who bought my comics from the small press table at Caption over the weekend. I had a brilliant time at the event and I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone involved with organisation and all the panels and workshops.

I designed some new fictional band merchandise for my comic Giant Rhinos In Space. They have arrived in time to take to London MCM Comic Con. I'll be selling my comics and zines for all 3 days and you'll be able to find table CG11 in the Comic Village. Maps will be available in the show guide at the event or online.

The Giant Rhinos logo has been printed onto 5A American hickory drumsticks. I've been told they're all rounders and a good starting point for beginners. The Giant Rhinos plectrums are glow in the dark. (Black Like My Heart plectrums are also now available slightly thicker at 0.81)

If you can’t get to London - I have a online Etsy shop and more events are listed in the blog sidebar. I will have free mini comis to give to people at every event this term. If I’m too busy chatting and miss handing you one - the secret password is ‘Do you have a business card?’ and I will hand you a little comic instead.

Bristol Comic and Zine Fair 2015


Thank you to everyone who came by at the Bristol Comic & Zine Fair yesterday. I had a lovely time sat next to Mair Thomas and Hamish Steele.

The next event will be London MCM Comic Con at the end of October. I was hoping to share the table with Sarah Fogg but unfortunately she needs to take a break from conventions this term. I’ve missed Sarah a lot when I’ve been at events on my own - so I’m hoping she’ll be back doing small press stuff again next year. You should definitely follow her beautiful diverse inktober pictures over on her tumblr. You’ll be able to find the table in the Comic Village (table numbers will be announced nearer the date and maps are usually in the convention guide which you can find at the show or online)

Updated autumn events:
Thank you to everyone at Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham on Thursday night. It’s always great to get a chance to chat to local comics creators. I did a presentation about the Misc Fits creation process. I'm going to post the slides online over the next couple of weeks. 

LDC Birmingham will be hosting presentations at Caption at Fargo Village in Coventry next weekend - 10am-6pm on Saturday 10th and 11am-4pm on Sunday 11th October 2015. You may have heard of Caption before, it’s an event which used to run in Oxford and I’m looking forward to see it come to my home town. More information on their website
