Maidenhead Comic Con on Sunday

I enjoyed the Maidenhead Comic Con I did back in March and so have booked a table at this Sunday's event.

Hope to see you there.

Exeter's UKCGF Event

Last weekend I attended my first ever Convention in Exeter.

The three hour journey caused me to travel on the Friday, I do 2 hours there and back in a day but 3 hours (with the every likely chance of motorway delays) is too much.

Lisa, the show's organiser, had recommended a local hotel, so logistics were quite easy.

The venue was out of town a bit, as was the hotel, but everything worked really well.

I had already set up my table when Steve Tanner arrived.

Wandering around the hall I was pleased to see a really good balance of stalls. 

Our little independent comic corner, 3 or 4 comic back issue dealers, a good number of toy stalls, some Pokemon cards, t-shirts and games... pretty much everything was covered, and it was nice to see no Fudge stall.

There was also lots of areas where you could take free photos with various vehicles or manikins.

The character from Coraline has always freaked me out a bit and this was as close as I could bring myself to get.

Saturday was pretty busy, after the first hour. Lots of interesting charts with people, a good number of whom bought one of more books.

Sunday, it turned out, was pretty much the same. I actually sold almost the same number of books on both days, which is very unusual.

And it was very nice of them to chuck a protective cover over my car for the weekend. 😀😀😀

All in all a very well balanced, well organised Convention. A pleasure to be at and Steve and I will certainly be back next year, looking to attend both the Cons in March and October.

Cursed Blessings is all done...

 ...and off to the printer very shortly.

Digital copies were shared with Kickstarter Backers last night. Everything is on track.

WesterNoir Advert

Andy Bloor has produced a great little advert to appear in the ComicScene Yearbook 2027...   

We're certainly building out a range of books in our WesterNoir universe.

Cursed Blessings has hit its Kickstarter target.

A big 'Thank you' to everyone who back my first collection of my Blessed Cursed imprint, renamed to Cursed Blessings at a suggestion from Andy Bloor who has pulled everything together with his usual skill to make it a nice looking book.

65 backers... I'll take that.

Thanks again.

Little Blue Car

I was surprised the other day to see what looked like the car I made up for my little Strange Times book parked opposite my house.

You can search this blog for the cover image :o) ... actually strangely I don't have that cover on the blog, I only have Book 2. I'll sort that this weekend and update this post.

I keep expecting a man with spikes yellow hair to walk up to it...
