Post con, we are all a little disorientated...

...Let us attribute that to exhaustion cos, dang, was it busy! Lack of sleep may also have something to do with it...

Now that I've had a week to recover, I'd like to thank all the lovely who came down. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you.

Next stop, Thought Bubble (23-24 November), where I'll be sharing a stall with Zarina Liew and Sally Jane Thompson. See you there! xx

Good Golly!

Sleep is for the non exhibitors – or those that get their stuff done on time. Damn them!

MCM is once again upon us and I am excited. I'll be in at the Comic Village on table CD8 armed with prints and books and have added to the repertoire my Speech Bubble series of prints (printed on canvas paper – they look pretty awesome if I say so myself but you can check them out below) and a new little book, Becoming a Super Hero: A guide. MCM will be going on all weekend (25–27 Oct) so pop down and say 'Hi!'. It'll be lovely to see you : )

And here's a sample page from the new book, Becoming a Super Hero. Some of you may recognize the character from an earlier book I did back in 2008 called Hero (I know, I'm not very imaginative when it come to titles...)

New prints

Here are a couple of prints the I created for London MCM (just gone). Thanks to all the lovely people who came by to say hello. See you at the con : )

Knackered. And a little dizzy...

Back from another awesome MCM and I am completely exhausted! Thanks to all the lovely people who came to say hello, I'm honoured to have y'all stop by. Roll on May!

MCM London

Five days to go for MCM!! Once again I'll be in the Comic Village sharing a table with old friend and award winning illustrator Zarina Liew of Colbalt Cafe who will have her new book – a collaboration with all round creative maestro Richy K Chandler (otherwise known as Tempo Lush) – Rosie and Jacinda out for sale. I've read it, I loved and have concluded that everyone needs it!! For more information about this beautiful comic, click here to go to the website.

I myself will have some new badges (including a new mystery badge), new prints (including a tie-in poster for Ami+Kobi) and the frustratingly delayed Little Red for sale. So come and say 'Hello' if your attending – we'll be waiting with sweets : )

If the price of the ticket or the idea people with people with placards threatening 'free hugs' is putting you off MCM, or if you prefer your comics to be a little more left field, head down to Conway Hall, Islington for the first International Alternative Press Festival which also takes place this weekend. Fellow Capes and Drapers Tilly Aviram and Saban Kazim will be representing there with their fabulous comics and I'm pretty sure they'll have sweets too!

Wherever you decide to spend your weekend (you could go to both events - they're both on 27-30th May), have an awesome one!

MCM memories...

Here're some pics from MCM, sorry they're late... it was a fantastic 3 days with the cos players, 'free hug-ers' and general comic media fans out in force - over 41,000 of them, in fact, making it another record breaker.Here and a few pics from the event...

We were fortunate enough to be put in front of the stage this time, being entertained by the panel talks whenever things got a little slow. Above are the voice actor panel with Roger Craig Smith (the voice of Ezio in Assasins Creed 3) on the left, Stephanie Sheh (Bleach, Vampire Knights) in the middle and Michael Sinterniklaas (Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bleach).

It's not every day that I get to meet one of my heroes and I was especially giddy when I met these guys. The Etherington Brothers are the illustrious creators of Malcom Magic and more recently Monkey Nuts (part of the DFC library). I've been in love with their work ever since the day I saw the first volume of Malcom grace the shelves of my local comic book several years ago. Their comics are full of beautiful, intricate art and bouncy scripts. While I don't think they need the publicity, here's a link to their amusing blog for updates of works in progress.

More Stormtroopers...

The awesome Zarina Liew (left) with fellow Bleach fan.

More amazing costumes. Check out the handiwork on that hat!

Customised Tototro jumper. I want!...

The Candyman!

And my personal favourite, Hard Gay! Fooooooooooooooooooooo!

I was also at the Comica Comiket a couple of weeks ago with fellow Capes and Drapes-er, Tilly. Unfortunately, I neglected to take a camera but I'm sure everyone who was there will agree that it was a mighty fine event with plenty of awesome comics and wonderful people.

Thank you all who came to see us at these events! See you at the next one (*HUG*)

MCM halloween!!

Hello

Just a quick note to say that I'll be representing at MCM London this weekend. Once again, I'll be sharing a table with the MIGHTY Zarina Liew of Cobalt Cafe and on saturday, we'll be joined by the verrrry talented Richy K Chandler (Tempo Lush).

This weekend will be the biggest MCM weekend ever with an extra date added (friday) and the introduction for the MCM Fringe. Come down and say hello – we'll have sweets and stickers! It'll also give you the excuse of wearing your halloween costume all weekend. See you tomorrow!

Postcards!

Here're some postcard designs which will make their debut at this month's MCM expo (provided that they are delivered on time). Fingers crossed! hope you like : )

Sneak peek!

Greetings!

Here's some concept art for my new book, Ami+Kobi, which will be launching at may's MCM Expo. I'm still in the midst of colouring the pages and, with a week to go, I'm getting just a little bit panicky...

Also, the awesome Dino-Saw-Us sticker collector game will be back for MCM. With all the stickers, comics and costumes, it all just sounds like too much fun. See you guys there!!!

(p.s. Make sure you book your tickets in advance or you could be facing a two hour wait at the gate!)

Have a nice weekend!!

2 weeks 'til MCM!! (Gulp!)

Hello. Just a quick note to say that I will be representing the Capes and Drapes fraternity at the next MCM expo (29th-30th May). I'll be launching my secret new book at this event and hopefully a new print. Once again, I'll be sharing a stall with the inimitable Zarina Liew (Cobalt Cafe) in the Comic Village, where the small pressers get to sit with the big professionals, so come see us – we'll have sweets : )

Here's a few photos from the last event in October of some of the amazing visitors and their fabulous costumes. Plenty of heroes...

And plenty of villains...
