Sorry I've been so ... well .. not here, its just dawned on me its been like almost a whole term of uni.

so yeh ... just a little update to whats happening ...

I will be with Inspired Comics at the Small Press Expo in Bristol (May 9th)
We will hopefully have some new printed stuff with us. anthologies. and theres still copies of slice of life and blob available.

Then I'll probably be going down to London MCM Expo (May 23rd)
wont be selling stuff, but maybe I'll get a chance to see some friends and buy ... urrr ..... pocky? ... and ... err ... I hope theres a 50p comics box you can leave me by like a childrens play area in a supermarket/ikea.


umm to have a little chat with yoooo ...
my favourite topic ...

have you seen/read anything interesting recently?

I've been reading Scott McCloud - Making Comics and I highly recommend reading it. its great because there aren't many books which focus on creating comics (manga and graphic novels included in that term). most 'how to draw comics/manga/whatever" books teach how to draw the characters, give ideas on what techniques and tools to use and then maybe cover a little perspective. I've not read a book like this since the will eisner books. and to be honest, I think I find Scott McClouds easier to read, because its set out like a comic.

and I've been watching back to back red dwarf DVDs while I colour digitally @_________@


Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast ...




take care
