Pre Birmingham MCM Comic Con

Sarah Fogg and I will have a table in the Comic Village at Birmingham MCM Comic Con on Saturday 22nd - Sunday 23rd March. We will both be launching new comics! I think the spring issue for Wha'ts The Time Mrs. Woolf? will be availble.

Giant Rhinos In Space #1 contains the first chapter of a long format comic. You can read most of the first chapter online here. The webcomic updates with 3 new pages every Friday.

Sarah Fogg has printed a complilation of her wordless comics which were origially printed in issues of the Bear Pit zine. I really love all these comics and they work really well as a set.

Sarah and I can confirm that we will also be sharing a table at the following events

• Birmingham MCM Comic Con - 22nd-23rd March 2014
• BCExpo - 10th-11th May 2014
• London MCM Comic Con - 23rd - 25th May 2014 (Gemma Sheldake will have a table there)
• Manchester MCM Comic Con - 19th - 20th July 2014
• True Believers Comic Festival - 7th February 2015

Thanks for reading

Volume at the Library of Birmingham 2013

 

Hello! I would like to start this time with a big thank you to Shaz, Sarah, Jack, Mum and Dad for their help at the weekend! I really needed the help due to a bike accident at the begining of this week so it was much appreciated, you are all super awesome!

 

Thank you to everyone who came by our table at Volume for a chat. I hope everyone enjoyed reading their comics and zines! 

 

 

 



We had to travel light this weekend so the table looks a bit less packed. If you are interested in ordering online you can browse through the following online shops

• Sarah's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/sarahfogg
• Sammy's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/sammyborras
• Jack's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JackDaviesarts
• Gem's Store Envy www.petitecreme.storenvy.com



 

 

In the morning on saturday we were given the chance to draw or write something to go in a 3 colour risograph zine which was printed before the end of the event!

 

My alien drawing is on the inside back opposite a lovely illustration by Kristyna Baczynski

Jack's illustration ended up oposite Dan Berry's illustration

and Shaz drew super cute pink portraits of some of the Inspired gang!

 

Thanks again for a great time

Autumn blog posts

hello! I'm hoping to do a couple of blog posts over the next couple of weeks to let you know what new things we're making to take to the events we have planned. Some of it should be design and development work from the goup which is nice because it's like this site contains 'dvd extras'

I printed a comic over the summer called Zines In Space. The story is about aliens finding a vintage photocopier. They are now available to buy online through Etsy.

Thanks - see you soon!

Free Mini Comics at Manchester MCM Expo!

 

We have been working hard at making new things to take to Manchester MCM Expo this Saturday! You can find our table in the Comics Village! We try to make new free mini comics to hand out at events every year. Sarah and Lily have made this cute mini version of the What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? zine.  

 

 

Sarah's new free mini comic is a new story featuring Patience! 

 

And this is my own new free mini comic about the Giant Rhinos characters.

And if you're interested in making your own free mini comics or zine I have a bunch of theses mini comic/work sheets. I printed them for a workshop which didn't actually go ahead in the end. So I'll have them somewhere on the table for anyone who is interested.

The secret password for the free mini comics is 'do you have a business card?'

I'll be back with more previews later in the week - probably Thursday!

Thanks!

FREE MINIATURE ZINE LIBRARY

Hello! We're going to be at Manchester MCM Expo tomorrow and these photos are of the free stuff that will be available from the table (while stocks last). The bundles have rotating covers and all include 3 A7 hand folded mini zines and a fold out poster.

The What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? Free Mini Zine contains tiny articles by Lily and Sarah, illustrations by Clem and a new Stale Symphony comic by Sammy. Patience is a Virtue: The Mystery of the Nightboy is a free 6 page mini mystery comic by Sarah Fogg. The Crossroads is the latest free mini comic by Sammy Borras and folds out into a A4 poster.

We will also have copies of What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? Issue 5: The Hairy Issue which was released this week!

I also printed some full colour versions of the mini comic which fold out into a A3 poster. Visit www.giantrhinos.co.uk for more information on the Giant Rhinos project. (Sorry about the photo quality)

I'm hoping that I will be able to offer inked portraits and personal commissions while at the event (as long as I don't catch the head cold that's going around work). For more information on prices click here.

Thanks! See you there!
Sammy
