POWER RANGERS!

A friend came to visit me at the Thing and he said I should stop using Cooper as my font of choice...which made me sad since I bloody love Cooper. It's so cute and you want to hug it and it would never dump you over the phone or think it was too good for you...

So here's a little comic which doesn't use Cooper! I don't even know this fonts name. But it's nice. It reminds me of books I read as a teeny tiny tot.

Speaking of being little - this comic has Power Rangers in it! My favourite was the Blue Ranger! I also want recognition for getting all their visors correct!

FUN FACT: Today was proper hideous. Everything that went wront went so amazingly wrong that my brain exploded. Seriously - trying to meet a printing deadline is tough enough but have the regular printer *and* the industrial-sized printing machine *both* break at the same time is not fun. BLEURGH!

UK Web + Comix Thing 2010

Hello Hello!

Yesterday was the UK Web and Comix Thing - officially the third time I've had a stall there!

I packed a suitcase with all sorts of goodies - new comics, old comics, big and little owls, CDs, badge packs, cakes, pictures, bags of dinosaurs etc etc

The journey there was pretty nasty since one of the wheels on the super suitcase broke pretty much as soon as I left the house...except I didn't know - I just thought it was being annoyingly difficult to pull along. It was super noisey and super heavy. I think I deserve a medal for getting to the venue without crying. I didn't even cry when Mile End tube station refused to let anyone exit!

I found my stall and started setting up. Check it out! I think it looked pretty good - especially since I suck at setting things up. It helped that I didn't forget to pack anything. Plusm look how nice the letters turned out for the wall. So bright! I'll try not to lose them this time.

It was a pretty slow start since Lizz and I set about giving out the Dino-Saw-Us Passports and flyers. We even had blank stickers for anyone that didn't have any printed stickers! Good work us. Good work to everyone that participated!

After all this was done I got to stand behind my stall and talk to people - which is one of my favourite things about events. I met so many people! The Science Team from Hull! The Food Group! Mister Aeroplane! Professor Peckham! Mister Awkward! Postal Service Girl! Man who I Thought Was Someone Else! The list is endless! It got super busy in the afternoon so the whole day whizzed by. I didn't even have a chance to have a decent look around.

As with previous Things, as soon as 17:00 rolled around, everyone packed up super fast and hit the pub. I saw some friends (who had gotten there two hours earlier) and spoke to some comic people. Blah blah blah and then I went home.

Today was set aside for doing nothing but fun things! I went for pancakes and saw some friends and worked on some ideas for the new issue of People I Know. I wasn't going to even think about it until June but now I'm hoping I could maybe get it printed in time for MCM Expo... That would be exciting!

In conclusion - thanks to everyone who was nice to me at the Thing 2010. And don't forget to email over any photos of completed Passports! We'd love to see them!

Stay out of trouble

EXCITING!!!

Jeeeez - I have two bits of exciting news. I hope you're prepared!

So firstly - I have a table at the UK Thing and I have new things like badges and cuddly owls and bags of dinosaurs and four new comics!

The other exciting thing is...well...possibly the most exciting thing to have happened all year. I drew some drawings and then someone did some magic and LOOK AT THEM NOW! They move! It's like being in sodding Hogwarts or something.

The main link is HERE

But if you don't trust spooky links - here they are as YouTube clips! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!







MEGAHOORAY!

Bad Date #9 + Scott Pilgrim!

So yeah...the Thing is looming. I'm starting to get nervous. What if no one buys anything? Why didn't I make more things?

NERVOUS BLEURGH!

In other news, here is a new Bad Date. It's my first ever attempt at drawing a gimp! He is wielding a bum-paddle for any Arrested Development fans out there.

PLUS! The Scott Pilgrim trailer came out today and I really enjoyed it. The beginning made me go "oh no - it's romantic and lame" but then there was fighting and Egg from Arrested Development being a ninja and some more fighting. HOORAY!

I doubt this YouTube link will be embeddable (is that a word?) for long but here goes:

New Mini Comic: Reasons Why We Should Go Out Together

I only updated yesterday but I forgot to blah blah blah about one of the new mini comics I'll be selling on Saturday.

I've got a few new minic comics to debut but this is the saddest and therefore the one that needs writing about.

Rather than being a normal story-based comic, it's actually a tool to use when asking someone out. Inside, there are a bunch of reasons why you think the recipient of the comic should go out with you. You just have to tick the ones that apply to how you feel.

I could tell you the really really sad story about how and why this comic came about...but you couldn't handle it. I can just about deal with it and it's *my* story.

Boo hoo hoo!

Harry Potter: His Mother's Eyes

Today is Tuesday! I had a pretty odd day where my pretend-to-cry ability came into use...which is rarely a good thing. On the plus side - here is a Harry Potter comic I've been keeping up my (wizard's) sleeve for a while. I wasn't sure about posting it since it makes me feel sick but I like the idea of Snape being an unstoppable flirt.

Also - since the UK Web and Comix Thing is fast approaching - here is a scan of the badge packs I'm bringing along. I added in two new designs - Robot and Generic Princess.

MEGAHOORAY!

Oh dear...

It's rare that I post serious things on the blog... but this is worth watching. Or you could at least listen to it? Just let me know what you think?



I suspect that only one of the people here actually knows what they're talking about.


Man - I feel like a proper Blogger now.

Jessica Fletcher Returns!

I went on a drawing rampage last night at 2am. Aside from being knackered today, I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. Here is the first one!

Also, the UK Web and Comix Thing is coming up! I've got a bunch of new stuff to bring along...but the most exciting is obviously the new copy of People I Know. It's not just any old issue though - it's #10!!! Because 10 is an important number, I gave it a colour cover! Even more exciting though - it actually has TWO front covers because you can turn it upside down and then read the story again but with a twist. I don't want to spoil it but look how pretty it looks!

MEGAHOORAY!

Bad Date #8 + my first ever review!

It's the weekend! I sewed some dinosaurs, watched some Supernanny, sewed more dinosaurs, bought some paper and cried tears of salty sadness.

Here's a new Bad Date!

PLUS - someone I met once wrote the first ever review of my comics! My comics may take only twenty seconds to read but those twenty seconds are super cute!

Also - it's the UK Web and Comix Thing next Saturday! I'm pretty nervous! You should come and say hello!

Bad Date #7

 Uh oh - the Bad Date series returns! I was feeling extra cynical when I drew this and I've been in a proper rage all day - so clearly this is going to be a Moody Week... Joy.
