Strange Times 3?

 Someone recently asked me if I was working on Strange Times Book 3.

He wanted to know what exactly happened to those guys?


I must say, I did enjoy drawing those books and enjoyed the way the characters created their own story really.

Maybe, maybe I should get my pencils out...

I Before E, Except After W, That's Weird

Well, my little collage book has been getting some attention, which is fabulous.

It's not something that people tend to see at Comic Cons and I think that helps draw people to it.

I do have a sequel in mind, and it centres around...


The Extra-Dimensional.

Accent UK appearance at the Free Comic Book Day in Warrington next Saturday.

Scott’s Pops & Comics in Warrington Market have announced that their first guest at their Free Comic Book Day is none other than :- 

Gary Crutchley.
Gary’s artwork has appeared in numerous publications from the likes of Fantaco Comics, Trident Comics, 2000AD, Accent UK Comics, Insomnia and Time Bomb Comics. His lifelong fascination with the Western genre has found a home in recent years through the publication of WesterNoir from Accent UK which Gary illustrates and co-writes with Dave West. This ongoing series combines western and horror elements in the fast paced adventures of Josiah Black, gunslinger turned monster hunter turned fugitive!



If you're in the area on Saturday 14th August then do pop into the Market and say 'Hi' to Gary.

Kia Wordsmith - completing the Kickstarter postings.

I've now got all the sketched and signed sketchbooks and the A4 commissions from Ian for the Kia Wordsmith - The Inbetween Kickstarter and have been position them out. 

As expected they are wonderful.

An A4 commission example.

Ian is now working on Issue 3, which I can't wait to see as it steps things up into another gear.

If you've yet to complete your Kickstarter Reward Survey then please do so. Thanks.

Blists Hill ... it's great to be back at a Convention.

 

If you've never visited Blists Hill then I recommend you do so, it's a great slice of our history. A village from Victorian times.

We were set up outside the Victorian Schoolhouse, as the organisers quite rightly decided that two exhibitors inside was the limit, and were kindly provided with a gazebo. The gazebo was actually pretty easy to set up, even for Colin and myself, and so in no time we were ready ready to go.

The first day felt quite strange really.

It's been so long since we've spoken to really people, in the flesh, about our comics.


Sunday felt more relaxed and I was surprised that at times it felt as if we'd not had the 18 month gap.

We did really well over the two days. New customers, old customers, people just interested in chatting about what we were doing and people who just wanted to chat. 

We had a great time.
