Exciting things in Art Town!

This last week has been a bit crazy: I've been approached by a lot of people about a lot of work and can now confirm two very exciting projects that I will be involved in! The first is that my comic Brains Etc. will be published by an all-ages Canadian publisher very soon! It will be slightly different from my small press effort and will now be 32 pages (new material will be drawn) instead of 26 and will also be available as a digital comic for various platforms. I'm really happy that not much needs to be done on it and I get to tidy-up and add some new material. I'm just sorting out the final format guff with the publisher and then it'll be time to get stuck in!

The second project is something I'm super-excited about: I get to design a range of t-shirts under my own label! The range is being produced by a major tee distributor and will hopefully be 16 original designs. I have some themes to work to but get to put my own mark on everything. The line will hopefully go to a London fashion show in September for initial reactions and we'll see how it goes from there. I'm hoping this goes well as it's been one of my all-time dreams for a long time! I'm starting work on both of these projects amongst a billion other things so the next month or so is going to be a bit manic. Bring it on, I say! XD

MCM Expo and LFCC Zombies!

Here are some more of the awesome peeps who took part in my Draw Yourself As A Zombie activity that I've been running at the cons I've attended this year. Thanks to all who have shared their undead artistic skills!

Sticker Attack!

I now have lots of cool new vinyl stickers for sale in my shop! There are 6 packs to choose from. These stickers are one of the more popular items that sell well at comic cons. I have many more in the works!

Busy busy!

What a busy couple of weeks! LFCC was a huge hit and a very enjoyable show - thanks to all who came along last weekend. I did really well and had a lot of fun - already looking forward to next year's show! As well as trying to recover from that, I've been making stuff to re-stock my shop with, doing t-shirt designs for a charity (the awesome VIVA!) and I also have a couple of other awesome projects lined up - more on those soon!

I'm also (when I can) working on my own children's book which I hope to pitch to publishers at some point. It's slow going but I want to get it right before I send anything off. When I'm happy/not terrified about what anyone will think, I'll post some pictures!

Updating Milk Town!

It's been a while since I did any new stuff for my Milk Town website so I thought I'd pay it a bit of long-overdue attention. Hopefully over the next month or two, the library will become a bit more active, the hotel will be open with rooms to view and the Milk Town Graveyard will be full of spooky goings-ons! Milk Town is mostly just for fun and a place that I can populate with weird characters. I do have plans for a series of proposed children's books featuring the characters of Milk Town but for now, that will have to remain as part of my very long list of things to do!
