I’m so thrilled at how all the work’s turned out for this year’s Webcomic Artist Swap Project.
Amazing creators involved!
Also, I was chuffed at having the chance to work with Nicola Streeten and Rachael Smith. See the resulting comics below and visit tempolush.com/wasp for more WASP comics to appear over the weekend!

It’s been a busy but fun time lately running loads of comic workshops.
I’ve started a project through Apples and Snakes. Poet and writer Inua Ellams and I are working with pupils of City of London Academy and Highbury Fields School, both in Islington. We’re developing a poem and a story that will be visualised and turned into a printed booklet.
We’ve got a few sessions to go and so far the children’s work looks extremely promising…
Here’s some great characters designed as a warm up for the City of London Academy kids..
Next up was last Tuesday’s half term holiday workshop at Walthamstow Library. Here’s some more character designs from them…
That last one also includes a happy cat character I asked the kids to create, alongside some other possibilities…
Next up, was a fabulous visit to the lovely Higham Hill Library…
These children learnt how to craft comics and told some fantastic stories…
Finally I made a return visit to the fantastic Cartoon Museum, which has this wonderful space to teach…
Visiting the museum on the day were the Crystal Palace Community Development Trust (Art Group). The teenagers had lots of emerging talent which they used in my Manga workshop…
Phew! Lots more workshops to come soon…
I had a great time as always at Comiket this past weekend. Thank you to everyone who bought the new Lucy comic and other Tempo Lush goodies…
Suki Kabuki helped me sort out my new stock to sell.
In case she sat on it I covered it. She did.
Lucy supporter Lily Withycombe took this pic…
I was proud to be table buddies with my WASP and Rosie and Jacinda collaborator Francesca Dare…
Two more collaborators (with art in Tempo Lush titles coming in 2014) and old friends Sally-Anne Hickman and Francesca Cassavetti.

Looking forward to next Summer’s Comiket at the British Library!
The road to WASP (Webcomic Artist Swap Project) starts here…

Phewee! After months of nabbing a few hours here and there to update my website it’s pretty well there! I think I’ve tampered with every page trying to bring you a top quality Tempo Lush website that you deserve!
Maestro the Cat Animated Gif
The biggest leap forward is a newly built portfolio section showcasing the cream of my drawings. I’ve also been working on a tonne of new animated pictures. Check out every section of the site to see them all!
Space Themed Animated Top Panel
Tempo Lush blog, So clean and bare
Ready for words of love and care
Adjectives, nouns and a couple of verbs
Words from the city and words from the burbs
Maybe some words of scandals and sleaze
Maybe some words of sandals and cheese
Time to sign off with a hug and a kiss
Let’s hope my blog gets way better than this
