London Expo October 2010 Complete!

The London Expo finished yesterday and it was a lot of fun! I was still pretty clueless for much of it, but that's pretty much par for the course, lol. ^^;

Thanks to everyone who dropped by. The new anthology went down well and Japanofail was as popular as always! ^_^

It's looking as though my next comic will be Beholder of the Eye 3 (though I've barely started it), so fingers crossed for its appearence at the next Expo! Moar!

Expo this weekend!

Yes the Expo is nearly upon us once more, and everything's ready and good to go! ^_^

Just a quick review of everything on the table you know what to expect:

Six - the new anthology, it's looking awesome! £5

Japanofail 1-3 - issue 3 is making its Expo debut! £2 each

Beholder of the Eye 1+2 - being moody and stuff £2 for #1 and £2.50 for #2

There was a time I didn't think these would show up in time for Expo, but they're here safe and sound and ready to go!

Initial responses have been really positive, so if you fancy yourself a copy come and check it out!

General Update

I like to update at least once a month, so I feel the need to write about what's going on these days.

Next month is LONDON EXPO! :D It's a few weeks to go and things are starting to heat up. I'll have lots of copies of Japanofail 3 for people to get ahold of (as well as everything else ;-) ) but I also have plans for something NEW as well!

I'm coming toward the end of making a new anthology! ^_^ Till the Sun Grows Old was a Jiman-based anthology, whereas this will be totally unrelated and have its own independant stance. A couple of the comics that will be in the book have already done the rounds on the internet, and a couple will be making their debut in the book. I don't want to spill the beans too early, but I can at least say it's going to be a real mix of content and styles. ;-)

So please look forward to a proper announcement sometime next month when I'll give full details.

(now all I need to do is design the cover >_>;)

In other areas, the Manga Jiman competition is still in full swing. If you're thinking of entering then the theme is nami/waves and the deadline is 1st November. So far I've pencilled my entry, and will think about inking it once I've gotten the anthology completed. Entries have to be kept private until after the results are announced, but much like my last attempt I'm sure it'll work its way out into print in the long run. ;-) Good luck to anyone entering - do your best! XD

I've gone and said all this publically now, so I need to make sure it gets done for sure, lol! :-O

New Event!

Just a quick note to say I've booked a space at a new comic event that will be running in March next year. The London Comic and Small Press Expo will be at Goldsmiths University on 12th March 2011. My spot is booked on table 30 so am confirmed for the event. Of course it's a long way off yet, so will probably post a reminder much closer to the time.

Please check out:

Of course next up is the London Expo in October, official word on attendees in the Comic Village (including me, lol! ^_^) have starting appearing on there, so it's worth keeping an eye on.

More news as and when it happens!

Japanofail Issue 3!

Just arriving today is issue 3 of Japanofail! Had a bit of fun with this one and took a couple risks with new styles of content. That said the key themes of fail is still the same! XD I hope people enjoy it if they check it out! :3

24 pages of fail for £2. I will be attending Comic Comkiet this Sunday (so it's lucky the comics arrived in time for that), otherwise I will be at the London Expo at the end of October. At some point I'll try and update the shop in case anybody can't make it to events but still wants it (I might have something else up my sleeve in time for Expo so may hold back and do one big update instead).

Cheers guys! ^_^

The comic is now avaiable online here:
