My new comic, Smoo #6 is available now to purchase in my shop.
It is a collection of quiet stories about listening to Hüsker Dü then walking around, moving house, a holiday in France, swimming at night (again) and more besides. I don’t think anyone has reviewed it yet, but folk who got a copy via pre-order have said some nice things about it. Why not find out for yourself?
We also had a great launch party at Desert Island in Brooklyn last week, but more about that another day.
A note on prices: you may have noticed a price increase in my shop. The zines are the same price, but sadly I’m having to start charging for P&P. I used to offer free P&P on UK orders, and subsidised P&P on overseas orders, but that has been proving a little unsustainable since postage prices went up this April. It pains me to do it, but ‘tis the way the wind is blowing. For readers in the US, however, you can get Smoo 5 (and shortly Smoos 4 and 6) from John P’s Spit and a Half Distro which might work out more cost-effective. Thanks for your understanding!
30 Days Comics Day 15: The Thing. Drawn for Leon from Secret Acres.
This song is one of my favourites in the world.
30 Days Comics day 14: Shopping Centre. People, sparkly lights, Christmas music, polished floors reflecting shoppers.
I didn’t manage to draw a comic yesterday so I’ve drawn two today. This is the first.
30 Days Comics Day 12: Kingfisher. 8.30am, walking to work along the Avon Cut, watching a kingfisher dart from one muddy bank to another
30 days comics day 11: District Line/M4. Sunsetting through windows of public transport
30 days comics day 10: Boat life. Visiting our friends’ house boat.
30 Days Comics: Day 7. At the trade fair…
This rubbish camera lark is a bit of a pain, but I’ll be scanning my favourite comics of the month when I can.
30 Days Comics Day Four: Confessions. Playing with Photoshop to visualise different textures. Not sure about it. But I’m just warming up.
I’m in Manchester for the day tomorrow with work, so I’m not sure what I’ll come up with. It’ll probably be an Oliver East rip-off though.
Also, here are my comics from last November:

30 Days Comics Day Three: Mercado de San Miguel, Madrid and a gin bar, later. People sitting, silent between sips. Shapes.
I think these comics need to work harder, do more.
30 Days Comics Day Two: Dusk/Cloud. Walking home, squally autumn dusk, changing light.
Not sure about this one. Still no colour.
