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!

Thing, passports and dinosaurs, oh my...

Hello!!! Only 2-and-a-half weeks to go before the Web and Mini Comix Thing 2010 and, boy, it's going to be a good one! This year sees the launch of the Dino-Saw-Us sticker collector game where visitors can pick up a free passport booklet and go around to participating stalls (including our Capes and Drapes table) to collect free stickers. Go here for more details.

You will also be able to purchase the Thing Anthology, which is based on dinosaurs this year. Here's a sneaky peek at my entry...

Oooh, what's gonna happen?...
