Hey guys,
Its entirely that time of the year again where everything goes super hectic in my life and I try and cram as many conventions as I can into the shortest space of time possible (actually i blame the convention organisers for this). Anyway, it seems the con scene in the UK is growing every year and i am involved in a huge amount of it. UK small press and indie comics are in a kickass place right now and if you're not a con regular I can tell you now, you are MISSING OUT.

So here's the deal.

Bristol Comics Expo on the 12th and 13th of May: This con is always brilliant but i expect it to be particularly so as it goes back to its roots and puts all the exhibitors under one roof at the train station Engine Shed!! This means we share the pro and big publisher footfall and get an exciting change of venue! Sounds all good to me!

Kapow Comic Con in London 19th and 20th of May: Big con that debuted last year and although it wasn't particularly strong on small press exhibitors i did really well and enjoyed it immensely. Its grown again this year so i expect more small press dudes! Tell me if you're heading down and I'll see you there!

Melksham Comic Con 26th of May: Brand spanking new convention in my home county of Wiltshire, which not only so far seems exceptionally well organised and exciting BUT i was asked to exhibit personally AND i will be appearing on a panel (FIRST PANEL APPEARANCE EVER!!) so if you want to see me performing as some sort of artist monkey... i suggest you hit it up!

and that's JUST MAY! but i'll tell you about the others later in the year.

The plan is to have the finished graphic novel '7STRING Vol 1' up for sale at at least one of these cons. Its with my publisher now, all artwork and work at my end done so we'll see. These things take a little while. But you never know, so you have to come on down to see if its there! Also I have some other 7STRING books as well as some amazing Cat and Meringue collected editions and prints and LOADS OF OTHER GEAR!!

so hopefully i'll see you yeah?

YEAH?

yeah.
