Post London MCM Expo October 2013

 

 

 

Thank you very much to everyone who visited our table at London MCM Expo last weekend! Sarah and I had a great time chatting and eating cake! I hope everyone enjoyed their comics! This is the last spooky photo for October. I hope you are having an awesome halloween!

 

We took these photos on Sunday morning, so there is a couple of comics missing from the photos. We had a lovely time catching up with Gemma Sheldrake and now we have some stock for our table at Thought Bubble! We should also have more copies of Jack's Alex The Abominable comics!

 

I'm excited to go to Thought Bubble already! You'll be able to find our table in the all new Allied London  Hall. It looks much bigger than I expected! So many comics to see!

 

Thanks agian!

Pre MCM Expo Post

Just to remind you that we're launching 2 brand new comics this weekend at London MCM Expo!

It's a massive event - but you'll be able to find us in the Comics Village in row B (There should be a map in the event program and helpful signs hovering above marking out the areas of the hall)

Children Of The Night is a collection of 6 goth themed comics I created with Sarah Fogg. We also had fun putting together a halloween playlist and then illustrating 6 songs each. Both books are now listed on my Etsy.

This week I had some copies of Alex the Abominable posted from Jack Davies ready to take to London.

We will also have the regular free mini comics to hand out! If we are busy when you come by and you don't get handed one there is a secret password you can use!! 'Do you have a business card?' and free stuff will be placed into your hands! (while stocks last)

Thanks!! See you there!!

Children Of The Night Preview - Christmas Day Of The Dead

This is actually a comic I wrote a couple of years ago, but the project was droped and I ended up not finishing my submission. I did make a couple of changes but it was nice to finally see this story on paper.

Don't forget to keep an eye on this blog for more previews before London MCM Expo at the end of the month.

We had a brilliant time at our first October event! The Bristol Comic and Zine Fair!! Thank you very much to everyone who came by our table for a chat or to buy comics. We hope you enjoyed the free mini comics.

 

We'll be doing the same thing next weekend at The University of Gloucestershire's Small Press Fair. The event will be held in a marquee in the Imperial Square, Cheltenham. The Literature Festival is being held at the time, so there should be more to see than just the fair.

 

And remember the secret password for free mini comics is 'Do you have a business card?'

 

Thanks!! 8D

Thanks, see you there!

Goth Anthology - Character Designs 2

 

 

3 more character sheets for the Goth Anthology I'm making with Sarah. The first image is from a zombie story, unfortunately he will be in black and white in the book but I had a lot of fun with the green and purple colour scheme. Theres some really great zombie characters in Paranorman.



We'll be at Bristol Comic and Zine Fair this saturday! So I'll try my best to update a little list of what we'll be taking - including some freebies.

Thanks
