Oh My Glob Perzine! - Lumpy Space Princess Fanzine

2002 on Free Comic Book Day

This is a comic I drew over winter but the project its for appears to be on hitus. It's free comic book day today so I thought I'd share my submission online for free. I don't think blogger is very good for reading comics on so I have also uploaded the pages to a webcomic host site for easier browsing. 

If you would like to know more about free comic book day visit your local comic book shop - some book shops might be taking part too!

Mixtape Anthology

Mixtape is a new anthology created by Inspired comics collective. I had a lot of fun collecting comics made by friends and then organising the order. The members were not set a theme so the process really did feel like choosing the order of a playlist or mixtape to give to someone. The cover illustration is by Sarah Fogg followed by sample pages from comics I drew for the book.

Inspired Comics will be taking the book to sell at Bristol Comic Expo, London MCM Expo and Manchester MCM Expo 

The comic is also available to buy online through my Etsy shop

Giant Rhinos IN SPACE 2013 Summer Blog

I'm hoping to spend some time this summer working on Giant Rhinos In Space. It's a 'graphic novel' project I started writing when I was at university. You can follow the project blog on blogger or tumblr. This drawing is of Annie (front right) and her alien band.

Inspired Anthology 2013 - Music Wars

I've been working on 2 short stories for this year's Inspired Anthology. This is page 1 from Music Wars. The story follows teenage twins Ted and Tim as they enter their first battle of the bands style competition.

This is a new character designed for the story and some new outfits for the twins.

The twins first appeared in Smoothie Wars which is available to buy as a mini comic but originally ran as a webcomic for free. Food Wars featured in our Eat Me! food themed group anthology last year

Inspired Anthology 2013

I've been busy over March and April working on a couple of different short story comics for printed anthologies. I'll post more information and previews when they're announced.

Forever 12 - 2002

 

I've just finished a comic for a group anthology called Forever 12. I don't know the details for when it will be printed but I thought I'd post some previews to show what I've been working on. The comic is about 2 friends remembering their time at school. The pages with blue lines are flashbacks to 2002.
