Thought Bubble

It was Thought Bubble this weekend, the amazing comics convention/festival that my friend Lisa Wood is the director of. I have volunteered at each and every one of them so far and this year was no exception. As usual the weekend was fun and exhausting, I met some great creators that I admire and respect and picked up some exciting new reading material and art for my house.

But this year it was a little more special than usual.

This year I had my first two stories published by other people!

Here's photographic evidence:

I really couldn't be happier about seeing my work printed in two such fine publications (Zombre from Borderline Press and The Irregulars from Water Closet Press) or could I?

Well...maybe I could and maybe I am. Maybe I had some great news after talking to the Borderline folks. Maybe...

Also, just because it makes me laugh, here's a photo of me meeting Nicholas Gurewitch of the incomparable Perry Bible Fellowship.

Watercolours?

Of all the things I expected to do at the pub tonight, a small watercolour painting of the Little Gent was not on the list.

Who is Hamilton Rook?

I've been hard at work on my submission for Ladies and Gentlemen (which is coming along nicely) so haven't put anything up for a couple of days. So while I'm busy with that, here's another preview from the forthcoming second issue of Imaginary Stories, which should be up by this time next week.
Just who is Hamilton Rook anyway?

Ladies and Gentlemen

My good friend Sir. Richard Worth and his colleague the Hon. Jordan Collver are the creators of the fine comics periodical, Ladies and Gentlemen (available at finer comics stores or from the link below). They're currently taking submissions for their third issue which will be an anthology issue. They're looking for writers and artists and will endeavour to pair up any one in need of the other.
You can visit their comics page here: http://waterclosetpress.blogspot.co.uk/. I recommend you do.

I've started working on a story for them and here's a little preview:
