Yesterday at STOKE-CON-TRENT

Top comics talent Simon Donald, Marc Jackson, Laura Howell.

I didn't take many photos at Stoke-Con-Trent this time but here's a few from yesterday. Thanks to all who stopped by my table. Great to catch up with comics pals Mike Collins, Jessica Martin, Laura Howell, Marc Jackson,Simon Donald, Kev Hopgood, John Charles, Gary Crutchley, Kev Gunstone and more. Also good to hang out with Trev and Simon again and to meet Sophie Aldred again. Many thanks to Adrian Tooth and his team for their hospitality over a very enjoyable weekend and for their organisation of the event.

Cosplay in the sunshine!

Multi-talented actor. singer, comic artist Jessica Martin.

Dalek meets Wookie!

The comics community wouldn't exist, and most of us wouldn't know each other, without the hard work that convention organisers put into setting up such events so I'm always grateful to those who put on the shows. We're living through a golden age for conventions/festivals/expos at the moment!

The next event I'll be a guest at will be the Enniskillen Comic Fest in just under four weeks on the 5th and 6th May. More info here:

See you at Stoke-Con-Trent!

I'm pleased to say that I'll be a guest at Stoke-Con-Trent again this April. I was there last year and the hospitality and organisation was great, and there was a good crowd of friendly attendees, so I'm looking forward to returning.

Stoke-Con-Trent is a convention that has actors and comic creators on its guest list but there's a nice equal balance to it. I'll be sketching and signing comics so come along and say hello. To find out more about the event, visit their website here:

My 2017 convention schedule so far. Hopefully I'll see you at one or two!
