Sew, glue, trim, repeat...

Alas! MCM is almost upon us and after many hours of yelling at my printer ('what are you doing? Don't do that!!! OBEY ME!!!!!!!' – yeh, we're not talking anymore), stabbing myself with a needle (accidently, mind) and spilling glue on myself I'm still trying desperately to finish binding everything!

Still I did manage to finish one of the new books, Ami+Kobi, last night and here's a sneak peak taken with my crappy camera phone (sorry).

See you at Expo!

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...

Thing 2010 was how long ago?...

Hello!!

Sorry, this is a little bit late... Thanks to all the lovely people who came to Thing 2010, said 'hello' and bought our stuff. Big hugs to all of you! Special thanks go to the Dino-Saw-Us guys, who came up with the awesome sticker passport game and made the day that much more exciting. All in all, it was a great day – there was some truly wonderful work there.

For those of you who didn't make it down (shame on you) or get the anthology, here's my peice in it's entirety.

And below is and A4 print created specially for the day which, rather suprisingly, sold out. My printer went crazy with one of them and and turned it out in green and yellow shades. Whoever has it, congratulations! There will never be another one like it! : )

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?...

Thing 2010!!

Our next outing as Capes and Drapes will be at the UK Web and Mini Comics Thing 2010 on 27th March at Queen Mary Uni, Mile End. Not as many zinesters as you would find at , say, the Alternative Press Fair, but you still get may of the circuit regulars. Entry is £4 on the door and £3 advance @ http://ukwebcomixthing.co.uk/.










Unfortunately, there won't be any new books from me but I will have the back catalogue on display along with some new badge designs (a mystery badge - Oooh! - and a new addition to the robot series) plus a new print. Watch this space for more news : )

Happy birthday Alternative Press Fair!!

The Alternative press Fair is one year old this feburary and celebrates with another outing on Saturday 13th Feb @ St Aloysius Social Club in Euston. Go down and spoil yourself with edgy zines, fantastic small press comics and beautiful artwork. Fellow Capes and Daper, Saban Kazim, will be exhibiting his own unique work among artists such as Tempo lush and the supremely talented Zarina Liew (Cobalt Cafe). Entry is FREE so you have no excuse!
