Normal service will be resumed

My apologies for not blogging recently, or listing any artwork for sale. I had some computer problems and also I haven't been well, but both things are improving hopefully. 

Normal service will be resumed soon. 

New event for September

I've been invited to the Hi Vis Kings Heath Comic Con that takes place on September 19th. More guests will be announced but the first wave is listed above. You can find out more about it and follow their updates at this link:

Due to having a chronic illness (CLL) I do get very weary at times now so I'm pacing myself with events this year and trying not to do too many cons that are close to each other. (I'm still feeling tired after the London con two weeks ago but I'm very glad I went.) 

Anyway, the Kings Heath show will only be a one day event and not too far to travel to so all being well I'll see you there! I'll be at other cons before then though so I'll keep you all posted on this blog.

 There's a new issue of Doctor Who Magazine out this week so here's a little preview of part of my Daft Dimension strip. The theme being Doctor Who Stories You Never Heard Of.

A lively weekend at London Comic Con Spring!

I really enjoyed being a guest at London Comic Con Spring last weekend. My first show since last summer and it turned out to steadily busy across the two days. My thanks to Tony Lee for the invite and the smooth organisation and to Kit Cox and the team for looking after the guests. As ever, the London show was a friendly place with lots of laughs and a good vibe to it. 

 

It was great to catch up with friends in the business such as Mike Perkins, David Leach, Rachael Smith, Nigel Parkinson, Ben Cullis, Steve Bull, Lee Townsend, Jenika Ioffreda, and many more. Also good to chat to so many people who stopped by my table (and thanks to all of you who bought art, sketches, and comics). 

With comics creators Rachael Smith and David Leach.

 

As always at Showmasters events there were lots of actors there too, including a considerable number who have been involved with Doctor Who including Ncuti Gatwa, Millie Gibson, Katy Manning, Colin Baker, Sophia Myles and more. It was a privilege on Saturday to be on a panel with famed Doctor Who producer and writer Philip Hinchcliffe who'd worked on the popular Tom Baker years. 

Health wise, I was totally drained by the end of the show and after returning home on Sunday night I slept most of the next day, but I'm so glad I attended and wouldn't change a thing. 

Here's to the next convention!

Just published! BRICKMAN No.2

The second issue of Brickman is now available to buy from my Ko-Fi shop.

I'll also be bringing some to the London Comic Con this weekend (Feb 28th to March 1st) at Olympia. 

Remember, these comics are not available from shops or from any other seller. Only directly from me.
