Manchester MCM, Desert Island Discs Fanzine & Not Another Comic Con


 


Sorry I've had a busy couple of weeks in a row but here are some updates of what I've been up to...

Thank you to everyone at Manchester MCM Comic Con. Special thanks to Nikki Stu and Naniiebim for offering to share their tables with me! I had a really fun weekend. I created new Free Mini Comics to hand out at this event, I really hope you all liked them!







I recently compiled a new open submissions music zine through my blog That Music Zine. The theme was Desert Island Discs, so '8 songs you couldn't live without and why'. It was printed by Rope Press and I'm super pleased with how the yellow and neon pink in mixed together on the cover! I got sent a great variety of entries from illustrators.

Contributors A-Z: Ben Norris, Claire O’Brien, Charlotte Bailey, Chaz, David Kirkham, Dinosaurs For All, Drew Sumner, Giuseppa Barresi (AKA Ryuuza), Hari Conner, Jason Garrattley, Nathan Hillustration, Old Bort, Petitecreme, Rodrigo Martínez, Sammy Borras and Verity Hall

I've added the new zine to my online Etsy shop. The Grimes Fanzine is also back in stock.




Thank you to everyone at Not Another Comic Con in Birmingham on Saturday. It was a first show for the organisers and they did a great job! It was a really lovely day :)

My next convention will be Thought Bubble which has moved to the end of September. There isn't an official map just yet, but I'll be sharing a table in the Millennium Square Marquee, which I believe is the largest. Please come say hi! And look out on the blog side bar for an up to date list of events

Glasgow MCM Comic Con



 

Thank you so much to everyone at Glasgow Comic Con this year! The crowd at Scottish shows are always so friendly and enthusiastic about comics it's great. I took some example portraits of my friend Sarah Fogg - thank you to everyone who ordered a commission! I was stuck on the coach most of yesterday and couldn't draw because of motion sickness, I was able to post most of them out today but I've got a couple to finish tonight which will dispatch tomorrow at the latest.

I'm going to be at Nostalgia & Comics (Birmingham) for Small Press Day this Saturday. There will be a change over of different creators throughout the day - I'll be around in the morning slot between 10.30am-12.15pm so I can go draw bands at Godiva Festival in the afternoon.

Birmingham Comic Art Show





Thanks to everyone who came by the Laydeez Do Comics table at the Birmingham Comic Art Show on Saturday. It was pretty quiet but a nice opportunity to meet some more local creative people.


I'm really looking forward to Glasgow Comic Con this weekend - You'll be able to find my table L08 in the Lomond Foyer. I'll be taking all the usual comics and music zines, plus copies of Charlotte Bailey's new Janelle Monae Fanzine. I'll be offering Inked convention commissions starting at £10. I'll also be taking some neon markers with me in case you'd like a portrait as an Inkling or Ghost Buster! If you're low on budget don't worry about it and please still come say hi - I have free mini comics to hand out! 

Thanks, see you there!

London MCM Comic Con May 2017





Thank you to everyone at London MCM Comic Con - I had a surprisingly busy show compared to recent conventions. Special thanks to Sarah Fogg for helping SO MUCH and remaining upbeat despite a horrible head cold! It was a lot of fun doing convention ink drawings throughout the weekend. I'll probably start offering them at future shows :)

My next convention will be Glasgow Comic Con on the 1st July! I have a list of events in the blog sidebar, but if you can't make it please don't forget I have an Etsy shop.
