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!!

London MCM Expo - NEW STUFF!!

 

 

 

 

We have some new stuff to take to London MCM Expo! Jack Davies and Jacob Boniface have printed a full colour perfect bound Alex book! The book contains 3 adventure stories. It's 70 pages!

 

 

 

 

How cute are these Zelda note book/sketch book covers?! Sarah Fogg will be taking limited print runs of these designs!

 

I've created a tiny lumpy space princess fanzine. I'll be selling them for 50p at the weekend. You can read the whole thing for free here or order online from Etsy.

 

 

And of course we will have plenty of copies of the anthology we launched this month!

Post London MCM Expo stuff

Hello! A massive thank you to the lovely people who visited our table at MCM Expo last weekend! We had a really great time seeing lots of friends, drawing pictures and eating too much cake! (Sarah is in the photo)

The fox head that was making our comics look cool was created by Grace from The What Not Tree

If you'd like to read about the publications on the table see our pre-mcm post

On Sunday morning we got up early and went on the cable carts before the show opened! Look its the Olympic park! and lots of yellow people jogging round a car park! We got off and had a look - they where people doing Run To The Beat! We could hear their music echoing around near the excel centre before we got on the cable carts.

Thanks everyone for such a fun weekend! Not long till Thought Bubble! :)

Monster pre London MCM Expo 2012 post!!

Inspired Comics will be at London MCM Expo for the first time! We'll be in the comics village and you can find our table on row C. We'll be there Friday though till Sunday! The images above are the covers for all the anthologies we've created as a collective that will be available from the event.

Sarah and Lily's What's The Time Mrs Woolf? has been running for a whole year! The latest issue has a spooky theme and I'm very excited that its ready to take to London at the weekend. (I'm not sure which back issues are in stock, but don't worry because you don't need to read in a particular order)

Sarah will be around all weekend so I hope she is bringing plenty of copies of her mini comics The Bad Fairy Bakery and Patience is a Virtue

Sarah and I have also created our first music zine this autumn! It features articles, illustrations and comics featuring Blur, The Kinks, Everything Everything, Peace, Gorillaz, De La Soul, Little Dragon, Helen Arney, Bellatrix, Gil Scott-Heron, Ghostpoet, DANGER DOOM, The Subways, The Clash, Elastica, Phillipa Hannah, The Unthanks and Young Knives

I'll be taking my new comic Jumping The Shark, a sequel to Best Day Ever. The printed version of the webcomic includes an exclusive bonus comic! I'll also have copies of some of my mini comics.

Shaz will also be around for some of the weekend and I'll be taking copies of her comic Thin Ice which was created for her final major project earlier in the year.

And we'll have the usual badges, stickers, plectrums, bookmarks post cards and art cards!

 

We've also photocopied a limited amount of free mini comics and zines to bundle together and hand out at the event

I think thats everything - listing it all feels like a test!

Thanks again for reading and maybe I'll see you at the weekend!
Sammy
