Birmingham MCM Comic Con & Giant Rhinos In Space #4

 

 

 

Thank you very much to everyone who came by my table at Birmingham MCM Comic Con, it was great to see familiar faces and meet new people - I had a lovely time with my table neighbours Ryuuza, Fat Fairy, Neil Slorance and An Android Awakes. Thanks to my sister Lisa for sitting behind the table for a bit.

MCM was the last convention of the year and I’m looking forward to focusing on finishing comic pages over the winter months. Most events I’m planning to attend in the spring are unconfirmed, but the first show of the year will be True Believers Comic Festival on Saturday 6th February 2016b at Cheltenham Racecourse. Don’t forget I’ll be launching the Grimes Art Angels Fanzine at that event - submission information here! 

I make sure to keep a up to date list of confirmed events in the blog sidebar. I also have an Etsy shop (includes international shipping).

Thought Bubble, Birmingham MCM and Grimes Fanzine

 

Thank you so much to everyone at Thought Bubble this weekend! I had such a awesome time in the Royal Armouries Hall with my table neighbours A Little Lost Caterpillar, Ink and Booze,  Paddy Johnston & Samuel C Williams.

Special thank you to Charlotte from Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham for watching my table so I could visit the other halls and pick up some beautiful comics!

The last convention of the year will be Birmingham MCM Comic Con this weekend! You’ll be able to find table CG4 in the Comic Village section of the hall. I will be taking all the comics, zines and merchandise in the Thought Bubble photos along with a folder of original drawings. Please come and say hi and pick up a FREE MINI COMIC!

Yesterday I announced a Grimes Fanzine with open submissions! Please visit www.thatmusiczine.tumblr.com/grimes for more information!

New Drumsticks and Tumblr Webcomic Site

Black Like My Heart & Giant Rhinos drumsticks are now available to order online on my Etsy shop - £9 (plus post and package)


I recently launched a new webcomic called Misc Fits - a series of slice of life short stories. I’ve been uploading pages simultaneously to various webcomic sites - and because some of you prefer reading through tumblr, when Giant Rhinos In Space chapter 4 launches (hopefully in November) I would like to be able to post full pages onto tumblr - www.giantrhinos.tumblr.com  over the next couple of weeks pages from chapters 1-3 will upload twice daily ready for new pages. It's a good opportunity to reread or catch up with the story! 

You can still follow through Tapastic/Smack Jeeves if you prefer those sites. I will continue to post previews and links from blogger, facebook and twitter.

I have 2 conventions left this season - comics, drumsticks, plectrums and more!

• LEEDS - Thought Bubble - Table 59A, Royal Armouries Hall
• BIRMINGHAM - MCM Comic Con - Table TBC, Comic Village!

I’m going to be taking FREE MINI COMICS to both events. Please don’t hesitate - if you would like a comic and I’ve missed handing you one, just casually ask me for a business card.
