Back from the Hi Vis festival

My thanks to Olly MacNamee for inviting me to the Hi Vis Street Culture Festival that took place in Digbeth, Birmingham yesterday. It had a unique mixture of dance, music, street art, and comics, so naturally the majority of attendees were not into the comics scene, but it was an interesting experience. Thanks to those of you who did drop by my table to buy a comic.

It was good to catch up with Paul H. Birch and Steve Tanner again, and to see lots a families attending the event. Let's hope the event returns next year and can expand the comics presence.

New event for September!

I'm pleased to add another event to my convention schedule for this year. On Saturday 8th September I'll be at the High Vis Street Culture Festival in Digbeth, Birmingham. (The event runs for two days but I'll just be there for one.) This is a brand new event, and different to the usual comic con in that it focuses on dance, music, and the arts. Should attract a new crowd, so I'm looking forward to it!

Hunt Emerson will be another comics guest, and I'm sure others will be added soon too. I'll post more details as they emerge but for now you can follow their Twitter account for more info!
