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!

In June I printed a short story I drew earlier in the year. (also avaliable to order online)

Tomorrow Inspired Comics will be int he Comics Village at Manchester MCM Expo with myself, Sarah and Jack. So we will have the new spring and summer issues of What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? (sorry I don't have the new previews to show you) and Jack will have his full colour Alex book!

Don't forget the secret password to get copies of our brand new free mini comics!! ('do you have a buisiness card?')

Thanks!

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!

What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? Call For Entries

whatsthetimemrswoolf:

Greetings dearest Woolves! Sarahwoolf here with some news about the zine.

As of this month, we will be publishing What’s the Time, Mrs Woolf? every three months, rather than every two. This is mostly because Lilywoolf and Sarahwoolf (me!) just don’t have time to do our day jobs, our freelance work and a bi-monthly zine, and this has lead to Lilywoolf taking many breaks from the zine and Sarahwoolf doing almost nothing but the zine. We hope that publishing only four issues per year, rather than six, will be more manageable. (Not to mention Sarahwoolf’s poor mother won’t have to print quite so many tracing paper overlays. I love you, Mum!) Hopefully this will also make it easier for all of you to contribute, as there will be more warning for each deadline.

As there will be four zines per year, we’ve also decided to base them on seasons, rather than months. WTTMW will now come out as Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter issues! These loosely correspond to months as follows:

Spring: March, April, May
Summer: June, July, August
Autumn: September, October, November
Winter: December, January, February

Under this new system our next issue will be the Spring issue! We’re setting the deadline at the 1st of May. Remember you can submit anything you like, from illustrations to articles to puzzles and recipes. We already have some lovely work from the defunct March/April issue and we’re looking forward to seeing more!

What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? is a zine created by Sarah and Lily. We sell the issues on the Inspired table at events. The project has an open submissions system so check out their website for contact details!

Thanks
Sammy

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!
