Back from ICE2018

Thanks to Shane Chebsey for another great International Comic Expo (ICE) in Birmingham on Saturday. I was busy all day doing sketches and selling/signing comics so thanks to all who stopped by. Here's one of the sketches I was commissioned to do...
As always it was fun to catch up with friends old and new. Too numerous to mention all, but nice to spend time with Dan Whitehead, Laura Howell, Paul Trimble, John Short, Nigel Parkinson, Dan Cornwell and Becky, John Wagner, Hunt Emerson, Tony Lee, Dennis Whittle, Staz Johnson, JP Bove, Jon Davis-Hunt and Helen, Ben Dickinson, and many more.

The photo at the top of this post is by David Hathaway-Price of the Beano panel. L-R Nigel Parkinson, Laura Howell, me, Hunt Emerson.

One of the nicest moments of ICE2018 was that a family I'd met the week before at the Hi Vis Festival whose young lad had bought Combat Colin No.1, came along to ICE to buy issue No.2. It's very pleasing to know those 30 year old stories can still appeal to today's kids.

The next convention I'll be at will be Stoke-Con-Trent on Sunday 7th October! Another guest will be my old mate Mike Collins , storyboard artist on Doctor Who.... and it's the same day as the new series of Doctor Who begins on tv, so come and grab a Daft Dalek sketch from me and a new Doctor sketch from Mike, then get home in time to watch the new series on BBC One!
