Summer events.

Time for a general update as I'll be attending a couple events over the summer. At the end of July I'll be having a table at the London Anime Con. This'll be my second time in a row attending so if this keeps up it'll become a regular thing. So basically if you missed out on Expo you'll get another chance this month! Be aware that while the event runs for 2 days, (30-31st July), I'll only be there for sunday 31st only! The Saturday's given to the merchandise dealers, while the small press crew tag in for the second day. It's a lively event, so is worth checking out!

Next up is Ayacon which is running 19th-21st August. I won't have a table in the dealers room and will mainly be attending as a regular punter, however there will be an artists alley which people can drop in/out of at will so I intend to hang out there whenever I need a breather. I rarely go outside of London events so this is a chance to see some lesser spotted comics! I can only carry a few thing with me, so if anyone has any requests for specific titles feel free to drop me a line either here or on twitter.

That's it for now. I hope to get a spot at London Expo again in October, but nothing's confirmed yet. Will update again as and when things happen!

Ayacon - Complete!

Made it back from Ayacon today. My mind has been warped, twisted and disturbed, and my innocence somewhat shattered (the pub quiz has a lot to answer for), but I survived! Thus ends my second attempt at selling comics. Next event: October London Expo!

Bumped into and met a lot of cool people throughout the weekend (thanks for stopping by!) and generally had a great time. As for the hat I'm wearing? Things just seem to happen at conventions so you learn to go with the flow...

Pre-Ayacon nerves

Off to Ayacon... TOMORROW! @_@;

I'm nervously looking forward to it. Mainly hoping to meet up with a lot of people I know online, but have never really gotten to meet face to face. I'll be milling around on the Friday and Saturday so I want to meet as many peeps as possible. All you need do is ask every person in the building 'Do you fail!?', and I'm sure you'll find me at some point! ;-D

If that doesn't work (why wouldn't it?), then I'll be in the dealer's room on Sunday between 10 and 5 attempting to peddle my comics. I'm carrying ample supplies of D.R.U.N.K., Beholder of the Eye and Japanofail with me along with some of my sketchbooks so I can use as much free time as possible to get more drawing done!

In terms of comic progress I've mainly been working on Beholder of the Eye 2. About 12 pages are pencilled, although I'm not sure how long the final count will be just yet, but it's coming on. As for Japanofail, I've not touched it! ^^; I've probably got enough ideas on paprt to get another comic done, but nothing's really happened to be honest, and probably won't until the pencils are done on Beholder 2. That said I think there's only about a month's worth of strips left to upload online, so time's running out! One way or another they'll come, but for now I'm sticking to the old pencils.

Will report back after Ayacon if there's news to be had. ^_^

I'll be at Ayacon!

Ayacon, one of the UK's longest running anime convention, is going to be on at the Warwick Arts Centre between 14th and 16th of this month. I've been a hardened manga and anime fan for around 15 years I think, but this is actually my first ever time to go to a convention!

On top of that, I've gone and booked a table for the Sunday! It was a last minute decision as I wasn't going to bother and just use it as a chance to lose my 'con-newbie', but what the hell I may as well do a bit of everything! ^_^

Think registration for the event ends this week, so if you've not booked you better hurry! Anyone who's already set up, please come see me! Being a newbie also means I don't really know many people who are going... ;_;

Kind of made this longer than necessary. To summarise:

Ayacon.
Sunday.
Buy my comics?
Fun times. ^_^

Hope to see you then! And if you really can't make it, there's always my online shop (it looks a bit weird, but seriously - it does work, lol!).
