Toronto or bust!
That’s right folks! I’ve recently found out that I’ve been offered a chance to exhibit my comics at the awesome and prestigious Toronto Comics and Arts Festival 2012. This is fantastic news, not least because of its reputation as one of the best comics shows happening at the moment. Unfortunately, I’ve been in and out of work for a while and have not got the resources to...

All Things Being Equal: 2011 in review.
Despite having recently bemoaned my dearth of accomplishments this year to Nick, it appears upon reflection that I have (actually) made some progress in making comics that say what I’m trying to say, and which people (seem to) enjoy.

Closing down for Christmas
As the Christmas build-up continues, and we take time off to rove around the country (and Europe) in celebration of the festive period, I’ve decided to shut-up shop until January 4th 2012. I should say that orders WILL be accepted in this period, but I cannot guarantee I’ll have access to my stock and be able to send out any comics until the New Year. I will, however, do my best. ...

Why not buy some comics? New review of The...
Richard Bruton of the Forbidden Planet International blog has reviewed The Escapologist #2. Richard has been very supportive of my work in the past, and this is review is no exception. He writes, “… there’s just an irresistible pull to [the images], they draw me in, over and over and over. Each image has meaning no doubt, but it’s the beauty of the image in isolation and the...

THIS IS THE NEWS (December)
WEBSITE UPDATE: Comics from the #30dayscomics challenge can now be read here. I didn’t make it to 30, but I managed 27, which I think is fairly respectable. I should say that taking part in this exercise has been an incredibly helpful experience for me. It has helped me try new approaches, adopt different media and play with new ways of story-telling. Thanks to Derik for kicking this...
