Cheers to all the lovely folk who visited the Tempo Lush table at MCM London Comic Con this past weekend. Great meeting new people and having folk who had read my work before come back for more!
Really pleased that all my new comics were selling. Had to rearrange my table a bit to make space!
I tend to keep some work on the go to make use of downtime. That’s some panel borders for upcoming Lucy the Octopus strips…
MCM wouldn’t be the same without my table neighbour Van Nim to share carrots and chocolate with!
On my other side, Francesca Dare of Penny Blackfeather fame and Karim Flint of Limehouse Comics.
The mighty Sloth Comics table…
While I’m usually happy behind my table for the three day event I sometimes can’t resist dashing out to grab a photo if I see some cool cosplay. Here’s a great Belle from Disney’s Beauty & the Beast…
And here’s an awesome Mable and Dipper from Gravity Falls…
As usual I got a chance to do some Lucy the Octopus style commissions like this David Tennant as Dr Who as an octopus……as requested by the Cheshire Cat! And finally three ladies who insisted on pulling some excellent silly faces…
Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
Next stop… Thought Bubble!

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.

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!
