London Print Studio Workshops

I've mentioned before that Lily from Inspired comics collective is also involved in The London Print Studio comics stuff this year. They have recently announced the dates for their free comics workshops. It all sounds really cool so I'm just linking you up :)

Thanks

Prisoner 63

This week's preview is from Prisoner 63 written by Luke Bayliss and illustrated by Harry Griffin-Hayes. If you'd like to see more of Harry's comics and cartoons you can find more on his blog. Don't forget that you can read this comic in full in the new anthology 'Science Fiction Octuple Feature' which is available to buy online now :)

There will be more previews and distribution announcements over the next couple of weeks :) 

Thanks

Science Fiction Octuple Feature is now available online!

Online Shop!

We've just added our new anthology to the online shop. A couple of us met up today and had a great time. We've also dropped off some anthologies at Nostalgia & Comics in Birmingham. Thought Bubble is the first event we will be taking the comics to in November. 

I'll be back on Wednesday with more preview pages! :)

Space Bunnies!

This week's preview is by Catherine Reda. You can find more great stuff by her over on deviantART page and in a couple of our anthologies. I hope you really enjoy the big variety of stories and styles in this sci-fi anthology. :) 

I'm hoping in about a weeks time the new anthology will be available to buy though our online shop and I will start dropping some copies off at comic shops. - I'll keep you updated :) 

Thanks again!

Comics have arrived!

Hey everyone, exciting news! Our printed anthology came in the post this week. They look great! I'm really looking forward to taking them to comic shops and events. I'll let you know when they will be available and where from. We'll definitely be taking them to Thought Bubble this November :) (if I can get a good photo I will post it)

I drew some fanart of characters from the comics in the anthology this weekend and it was a lot of fun drawing everyones characters - hopefully I got the colouring roughly correct. Right to left characters are owned by Sarah Fogg, Lily-rose Beardshaw, Laura McNulty (writer), Sammy Borras, Luke Bayliss (writer), Harry Griffin-Hayes, Cat Reda, Shaz Jubeen, Jacob Boniface (writer), Jack Davies and Gemma Sheldrake.

And a massive thank you to all the contributors :)

Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting this blog

Jacked In

This weeks preview is from Jacked In, a comic written by Laura McNulty and illustrated by Sammy Borras (that's me). We work together a lot and I always have fun making things with friends. Laura has been busy studying Japanese at university but I'm sure we'll find the time to make comics together again sometime in the future. Recently I have been creating lot of short story comics for the web and other group projects. I'm very excited about the launch of Ink+Paper this autumn, a thick comic/magazine organised by David O'Connell.

I mentioned last week that Lily was working on some projects but I wasn't sure how much I could tell you, but since last week they have been announced so I will fill you in. The LondonPrintStudio are running a comics course and Lily is one of 6 interns to get a place. I'm looking forward to following Lily's work and their group projects on their Comics Collective blog.

Lily is also working with Sarah on a zine for women. I'm hoping that it will be available to buy from our table at Thought Bubble, but I will make sure to let you know when it is officially released and how you can get hold of a copy.

I'll be back with more previews and news next week and hopefully some photos of our comic in print! it gets more and more exciting every week :)

Thanks again!

Planet Rabbit & extra covers

This an absolutely lovely preview page from the second comic in the anthology, Planet Rabbit by Lily-rose Beardshaw. I know Lily is working on some other projects at the moment but they've not been published online yet so I don't know if I'm allowed to ruin the surprise. I will keep an eye out for an announcement and let you know but the best place to keep up to date with Lily's projects will be on her blog. You can also find this great un-submitted cover design which contains characters from different stories in the anthology drawn in Lily's style. 

I am very pleased that the four other covers that were left over will be featured in the inside of the comic and  they will be in  full colour! Covers by Sarah Fogg, Jack Davies and Gemma Sheldrake.

Thanks again
Sammy
