Hanging at my table at May MCM London 2014

I’ve done a half dozen or so MCM Comic Cons now and still enjoy them.

Always nice to see old friends, meet new folk and draw portraits, plus I’m still touched that anyone wants to buy my comics and prints!  The most gratifying thing is when people have already bought something at a previous show and liked it enough to come back and buy something else!

Here’s some pics, starting with with my table spread…

Lucy the Octopus style pic for Jane Espenson

Stuck behind my table at MCM Comic Expo a couple of weeks back I was gutted I didn’t get the chance to meet Jane Espenson a wonderful writer who has lent her pen to a wide variety of wonderful shows (and comics) including many favourites of mine such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls, Angel, Firefly, Ellen, Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse.
I’ve learnt lots about writing from listening to her interviews and discussions on various podcasts.

I managed to scrawl out a Lucy the Octopus style doodle of her and some of the characters she’s written.  Fortunately the very friendly podcaster Stephen Lacey was kind enough to pass it on to Jane when he made it to her signing table.

I’m looking forward to trying her new online sitcom Husbands!
