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.

Giant Rhinos In Space #5 and Afroflux Comic Con



 

Giant Rhinos In Space #5 arrived from the printers today! The comic includes chapter 5 plus a gallery of illustrations in the back. I've made up bundles and everything is ready to launch at London MCM Comic Con this weekend! My table will be on row G of the Comic Village (there isn't a map just yet, but check my Twitter for directions nearer the day)

I keep an up to date list of events on the blog sidebar - but listings are already on my Etsy shop if you can't make it to those particular cities. (International shipping available)


Thank you to everyone at Afroflux Comic Con at Birmingham Hippodrome on Sunday. It was great to catch up with friends and meet some really lovely people!

Do What You Want at DIY Cultures


I had a really great time at DIY Cultures yesterday helping out on the Do What You Want table with Clio Isadora. We only had one box of DWYW zines and they all sold - so thank you very much to everyone who bought a copy! Preorders are open for a 2nd print run of the zine, and an ebook is available from the website.

I'm going to be at Afroflux Comic Con this Sunday at the Birmingham Hippodrome. The event is Free entry so please come say hi! I will have more table space this time, so I'll bring a bigger selection of comics and zines. I've got plenty of free mini comics to hand out!

Do What You Want and The Great Anthologee Hotel



A couple of anthologies I worked on over the winter months arrived in the post this week. Do What You Want is a beautifully illustrated zine compiled and edited by Ruby Tandoh and Leah Pritchard. Their online shop sold out in the first day or so of launch, but the ebook version is now available. All profits are split between relevant charities. I wrote a short comic about my personal experience with clinical anxiety/hypochondria and how it effected my ability to plan ahead.

 

The Great Anthologee Hotel is a landscape comics anthology compiled by Nathan Hill and printed by Rope Press. I drew a sort story about a woman who takes advantage when she is automatically logged into the wifi with her ex boyfriend's passwords and bank details. It was interesting creating layouts for landscape pages.

I'm helping out on the Do What You Want table at DIY Cultures next Sunday. I should have copies of the Hotel Anthology available from my table at Afroflux Comic Con and London MCM Comic Con later this month.
