I've Been Meaning To Tell You...

HuRrAh

That scholar and gentleman Richard Cowdry dropped them off at my gaff when I was at work today. I can hereby comfirm that it looks f**king awesome. Here's some pictures:

My work, on the left ably accompanied by the work of Kat Kon.

The comic is full to brimming with lots of brilliant stuff by the likes of Lawrence Elwick, Paul O'Connell, Steve Tilotson, Gareth Brookes, Hurk, Pete Lally and of course Rich Cowdry.

I'll have a stack on my table at the Alternative Press Fair this Sunday, but I'm also flogging them here for £1ppp or $1.50ppp, just drop me an email.

Take care now and stay warm.

Cosmically AWESOME!

Hello!

A few months ago the lovely people at Nobrow invited me to contribute a piece to their anthology of stories based on creation myths.

I was totally chuffed to pieces to be asked. Nobrow has been producing some of the sweetest comics and art books I've seen lately, their roster of artists features some of my favourite illustrators around at the moment. Basically, I'm really excited to be part of A Graphic Cosmogony.

It's out now on the Nobrow site and has been showcased on Drawn! I can't wait to see the thing for myself! I mean just look at that cover!

Alternative Press Fair This Sunday

It's that time of year again, I'll be there with my friends, Dr Parsons and Sean Duffield. In my humble opinion this is the most fun fair, I'm looking forward to it and hope to see you there.

Nice poster, art by Martyn Warren.

Solipsistic Pop Three I Tells Yeh!

My work has the honour of being included in the latest issue of Solipsistic Pop!

The book was launched last Friday at the Black Heart in Camden, and editor Tom Humberstone will be at Thought Bubble this weekend, if you're in the Leeds area be sure to pop by and say hi. I hear that lots of good stuff will be there, including the We Are Words and Pictures peeps, and Steve Tilotson and his Banal Pig, to name but a few.

And here's a detail from my contribution:

Here's to Dale

My website has been given a very kind write up by the lovely Dale Berning over at Bunt.

Go check it out, it's a blog full to bursting with interesting links and well written observations and thoughts, as well as lots of kicking music and pictures.

And here's a link to Dale's website, the online repository for her beautiful work:

From Brighton to Marrakech and Back Again

Salome.

I've just got back from a residency in Marrakech. It was great fun. I met some really lovely folk and worked like a camel in the Western Sahara.

The residency was organized by the highly hospitable, generous and incredibly hard working Amy Smyth-Said and Saad-Eddine Said over at Terre Sans Frontiere (http://www.terresansfrontiere.org/).

I was working alongside a group of international artists and musicians in a communal residence and studio space. Over the course of seven or eight days we worked together to create a group show at the Remp'Art Gallery and a musical extravaganza at the Theatre Royal.

I can safely say that the group of people I found myself amongst are some of the nicest I've ever met, so although I missed my family terribly whilst there, I am compensated by the fact that I have made many new friends.

The exhibition we made is on until the 4th October, if you find yourself in Marrakech feel free to go and check it out.

Here's a pic of the space on the private view night and a drawing from the piece I submitted.
