Geek Art Exposure

You know how some people want to be on the Die Line or Lovely Package.

Well I wanted to be on Geek-Art! And today I checked my website email on a whim and got this:



This is brilliant! Ok, so I'm refereed to as 'he' but, it's the internet. Whoever did the poster for BAGD movies were also on here a few months ago and when I saw that, I knew what site I wanted to be featured on.

So thank you Geek Art!

Hand Drawn Awesome

A few days ago I got an email through my website saying they 'had an offer for me.' I literally thought it was junk mail at first but the impulsive side of me clicked on it and I'm most certainly glad I did.

Hand Drawn Awesome is a relatively new website dedicated to delving into the world of indie, small press, web and creator-owned comics. They aim to expose the works of creators new and old to a wider audience and maybe, just maybe introduce people to some stuff they might never have considered or taken a chance on before.

And today Chris emailed me back saying I was the December feature: Link!

Thanks guys! And I hope more people see this website, it is awesome.

Thought Bubble Comic Con

Yesterday was the Thought Bubble comic convention here in Leeds, Uk. It was amazing.

I was on staff so I'd had less than 4 hours sleep thanks to Harry Potter 7.1 the night before and was at the Royal Armories for 7am. But I was not going to let that spoil my day.

Got to show Leigh Gallager (of Defoe 1666) to his table.
Him: Oh, hi I'm Leigh. *as I'm looking for his banner*
Me: Oh I know, me too!
Him: L-e-i-g-h?
Me: yes!
Him: =D


At the end of the day I got him to sign my staff top as well as Adi Granov (X-men, Extremist Iron Man.) Was a gopher for the panelists, offered John Romita Jr (Kick-Ass) water and coffee (to the jealousy of a fan boy who was stood behind me) and the same with Brian Talbot. There were tonnes of other great artists there too but I didn't really get that much of a chance to stop and ponder about. It was a brilliant busy day and someone out there has a photograph of me reading volume 7 of the boy's as I was positioned out side the cloak room for an hour. I'm not sure who he is and I only looked up after he grinned and ran away. So Kudos to you, creepy photographer.










Jared, of OK comics, also snapped a picture of me looking quite annoyed that I had been left to watch the Self Made table while he went and moved the van. However, I left my email and website with them and they are currently looking for interns.

I was hoping to go to the after party but when I went home to change and eat, closed my eyes for all of ten minutes and woke up at midnight. Ahh well, I still had a brilliant day, got tonnes of back issue comic books and shook some brilliant hands.

I'm so looking forward to next year when I'll hopefully have a table with my own work on.
