Hand Stitched Notebooks and Badges

 

Sarah has been hand stitching some tiny A7 sketch books. So far they have versions of my Best Day Ever cover art. (You can read Best Day Ever online here or buy it online here.)  We're going to be selling the new notebooks at Bristol SP Expo and any other events Inspired are at in the next year. (I'll let you know if any new events come up)

I recently ordered more badge designs. Unfortunately only some of the designs made it in time for Midlands MCM Expo, but they're now all ready for the next selling event. The photo on the left are characters from Best Day Ever and the new badges on the right are from Giant Rhinos IN SPACE.

Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be back with more things to show you between now and Bristol SP Expo.

Midlands MCM Expo report

   

Hello. Thank you to anyone who bought our comics or entered the art competition at Midlands MCM Expo last weekend. We had a really great time running the competition with ITCH Publishing again. I'd also like to thank Lily for coming to help at very late notice.

We're hoping that over the next couple of weeks we will have a lot of new things to share on this blog now that comics events season has started again.

The winners from the 2011 art competition should be online this evening. But until then you might want to have a look at winners from previous years over on our old myspace blog.
Winners 2009 and 2010

These are some of the signs we drew for the table. (Lily drew the one on the left and Sarah drew the one on the right.

Thanks for reading, I'll be back to update later with the winners work
