Post Birmingham MCM Comic Con 2014

Sarah Fogg and I had a table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con. Thank you very much to everyone who stopped for a chat or bought our comics. It was a busy show and we had a really great time.

Most items in the photo are available to order from my Etsy shop or Sarah's Etsy shop.
We don't have any tables booked in April but our next events will be BCExpo and London MCM Expo in May. Gemma Sheldrake will have her own table in the comic village at MCM.

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

• Sammy's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/sammyborras
• Jack's Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JackDaviesarts

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

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!

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!

Thought Bubble 2012 Photos and Stuff

Hello! Sorry for the delay, I had to wait for the photos and then I was too busy to sit and write this all out. Sarah took some photos of our table using her camera at Thought Bubble this time. But that does mean that I'm in the photos instead of Sarah - Sorry! 

 

Sarah made some new beautiful watercolour postcard designs in time to take to Thought Bubble!

 

This photo is of Issues 2-6 of What's The Time Mrs Woolf? - you can read more about Sarah and Lily's zine on their WTTMW? blog

This is a photo of the Artists trading cards! they were a lot of fun to make! Top row paintings by Sarah, ink drawings on the left by Sammy and bottom right paintings by Shaz. 

 

This is a photo of the music fan zine that Sarah and I made. Then my self published comics  followed by Inspired's latest anthology, Eat Me! 

 

These photos are of Inspired's old anthologies (on the stand). We're actually very low on stock for some of these comics so I've listed them on Etsy encase anyone is interested in grabbing a copy before they become out of print. We wont be printing any more copies in the future. 

The photo also includes Thin Ice by Shaz Jubeen, bunny food stickers and bookmarks by Cat Reda and bookmarks by Gem Sheldrake. 

Sarah also made her own dress! The design is from Josceline Fenton's Hemlock comics. Josceline also won an award over the weekend for emerging talent - congratulations!!

Thanks to everyone who came by the table! and thanks to Sarah, Lily and Shaz for coming to help at the weekend. 

Thanks for reading!
