That Music Zine

I recently set up a music blog on tumblr called That Music Zine. I've been having fun posting illustrations for spring album releases, ukulele designs for Adventure Time characters and gig sketches.

Birmingham MCM Comic Con March 2015

 

 

I had a good time at Birmingham MCM Comic Con. Thank you very much to everyone who came by our table over the weekend. I was sharing with Gem Sheldrake this time.

The lyrics in the autobio comic are from Courtney Barnett’s debut album ‘Sometimes i sit and think, sometimes i just sit’ (out today!)

"It probably seems silly to be printing a music zine at a time when music blogs are becoming a popular alternative. You can listen to the music at the same time as reading the articles and news updates are instant. We realised we don’t have the time to keep up with it all, so last year, instead of trying, we decided to create a music zine together, where we could write about the music that makes us happy! We had so much fun making the first one that we decided to make more whenever we have enough material to fill a new issue. We’ve filled this issue with music themed comics, gig sketches, articles and illustrations. We hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it!"

Gig Sketches 2014

Honeyblood supporting Courtney Barnett at The Hare And Hounds May 2014

I started drawing at small gigs for a university project, but it turned out to be a lot of fun so I still draw bands if it's possible. These are my favourite sketches from the beginning of this year.
