I had a fun-filled weekend heading up to Thought Bubble Comic Con in Leeds.

Thanks to everyone who came by my table to say hi or pick up some Tempo Lush goodness!

I was glad my tower of bear boxes didn’t collapse… It was great doing commissions for nice folk that stopped by.
Some Lucy the Octopus style portaits… …and Mike & Sulley from Monsters Inc! Being stuck behind a table for a weekend is made lots of fun by all the cool people than visit!
Here are Hayley Charlseworth and Sarah Turner. Sarah is taking part in WASP 2014 with her webcomic Folklore.Here is, comic creator and video maker, Dan Lester‘s friend Schmurgen Jonerhaffs.The friendly smiles of Alex Hern, Molly Muldoon ( who runs the Dr Who blog, Confused Companion) and Aaron Tavaler who interviewed me for The Big Smoke Podcast which he runs with Karim Flint.Two talented creators and awesome buds Sally-Anne Hickman and Francesca Cassavetti.
Even talented creators have to eat. Dinner at Wagamamas with (L-R) Van Nim, Sally Jane Thompson, Zarina Liew, Paul Shinn (my roomie!) and me…
Plus (L-R) Saul Taylor, Francesca Dare, Jess Cave, Andy Poyiadgi and Elliot Bagget.
Richard Carter and Chantel Beaven.
Ah yes! Here we have myself sitting alongside Mike Medaglia. I was very happy to pick up my copy of his new Avery Hill Publishing title, Seasons, complete with bookmark, bookplate and portrait…
Had much fun on the train journey home playing Mariokart with Van Nim, Paul Shinn and Zarina Liew (who seemed to be having the time of her life).Just about recovered from the weekend now!

If anyone missed picking up any Lucy the Octopus comics or other Tempo Lush stuff you may want to visit my online shop!

Cheers!

It’s been a long time since I’ve sold my wares with a table at a comic show and the MKomix event last night was a lovely one to return to. There was a friendly and chilled vibe in the MK Gallery in Milton Keynes as I joined some familiar and some new to me indie comic creators, including organiser Paul Rainey plus David Baillie, Jay Eales & Selina Lock, Sean Azzopardi, Karen Rubins, Jon Scrivens, Dan Lester, Jade Sarson and Amy Letts.

I had the pleasure of meeting Laura Watton for the first time in person and realising I’d bought a Sweatdrop collection she’d worked on many years earlier. Was also great meeting my table mates and fellow Londoners, Avery Hill Publishing.

All in all, a good evening. Thanks to all who came and asked me about my work and those who bought some of it! My new Lucy the Octopus Tasty Taster Comic was my best seller of the evening!

The night was rounded off by driving home with Alex Fitch, David Baillie and Dan Lester, failing to find a Little Chef so opting for a Chinese take away eaten in the open air in Dunstable. If anyone passing through Dunstable, pops into the China Express, I recommend No 74.
