Yesterday I had a great day at this year’s Comiket. It’s always a nice event and a chance to sell my wares and catch up with creator friends. This time round the event took place in the amazing building of the British Library.
My table neighbours were fabulous artists and buds Anna Dowsland (middle) and Francesca Dare (right). Francesca was rightly proud of her new Penny Blackfeather banner and her new collected edition of Penny Blackfeather available through Sloth Comics.
Across a small divide were two collaborators for Tempo Lush Tales, Spandex creator Martin Eden (middle) and a very tired but still awesome Van Nim (right)!
Next up you can see how another Tempo Lush Tales contributor, Keara Stewart made her way into many of my photos…
Clearly Keara and Karen Rubins were having an amazing time.
Keara is sporting a Lucy the Octopus badge.
Karen, talented comic creator (another Tempo Lush Tales artist) and Phoenix contributor is sporting a weird frown.
Finally, Keara’s weird face pulling is joined by Broken Frontier writer Andy Oliver and Myriad Editions editor Corinne Pearlman…
I was determined not to buy anything myself, but couldn’t resist the new children’s book Jampires. It’s a collaboration between Sarah McIntyre and David O’Connell. Both extremely talented writer artists by themselves, their combined creative power has produced something very special or silly or both!
One of the unique features of Comiket is the drawing parade. Here different artists draw live to a soundtrack of music chosen by themselves.
Here, the wonderful Jade Sarson doodles away. Watch out for Jade’s art contributions to the upcoming Rosie and Jacinda comic!
One last look at my Comiket table before I focus on getting four new Tempo Lush comics ready for release in October!
