My First Picture Book!!

Eep - I can finally talk about my kid's book: I Know Sasquatch! :D

A lot of people will recognise this as one of my self-published books and I'm happy to announce that it has been developed into a children's picture book! I got the good news about this back in 2013 at the San Diego Comic Con when I was signing books with my awesome publishers, Capstone. The book will be out in August and is already listed on Amazon UK and US (no pics as of yet but soon hopefully!). I'm very excited about this and will hopefully have it to sell at comic cons once the book is out, as well as some other Sasquatch related goodies! Apologies in advance - I'll be going on about this a lot in the next few months! XD

British Comic Awards!

I Know Sasquatch has made it onto the longlist for the British Comic Awards! It's currently on the list for the Young People's Comic Award and while I doubt I'll even make it to the shortlist, it was nice to at least get a mention! :D

What the dickens am I doing?

I feel bad for neglecting my blog a bit since my trip to the US but things have been insane busy here; I'm currently working on 2 activity books and the deadlines are fast approaching. They're pretty fun though and my art director is brilliant - that always makes a BIG difference working on a project! I have a few exciting secret projects in the works too which I can't talk about quite yet, but hopefully will be able to reveal a few bits over the next month or so!

 

I was very lucky to have been asked to take part in an amazing science comic for kids called Asteroid Belter, which teams up scientists and artists to create awesome educational comics. My brief was "A Day In The Life Of A Poo" - hopefully I can post my comic soon but the actual printed comic is free and available in Newcastle!

 

 

I have a couple of cons coming up - MCM and Thought Bubble - and have been trying to get new stuff sorted for those. I'm working on a very special and exciting collaboration with someone for Thought Bubble that hopefully should be pretty awesome; I'll reveal more when I can! :D

I'm also going to running another giveaway over on my Facebook page very soon so please check it out for updates and news!

It's National Doodle Day! Here's my doodle!

2013 is Sasquatch Time!

Well, 2013 has already started off awesomely, as I got home from my Christmas break to find this in the post! One of my amazing arty fiends, Beck Seashols, made this fantastic crochet version of Sasquatch after I sent her the book. He site pride of place with my other crochet goodies!

Updates and SUPER SASQUATCH GIVEAWAY!

Well, things have exploded into a cavalcade of busyness at the moment; I'm working full steam on 4 books that are due by February. I'm pretty stressed at the moment but hopefully it'll be for the greater good! The books are an awesome continuation of the series I'm working on for the American publishers (hopefully I can talk about these very soon and share some pictures!) so at least it's enjoyable stress! :P Anyway, as I've been a bit slack on my blog I thought I'd do a giveaway!

Up for grabs are a copy of my latest self-published effort, I Know Sasquatch, a sasquatch sticker and a whole bunch of sasquatch prints. All you have to do is leave a sasquatch related comment, along with your email address should you win. I'll pick the winner at random on the 24th of November. Good luck! :D

I know Sasquatch!

Hooray! My new book, I Know Sasquatch arrived yesterday! I'll be selling this little chronicle of the day I met Sasquatch in the woods near my house at MCM Expo and Thought Bubble this year. It is also available in my online store!

New Book: Sneak Peek!

My Desk: New Book!

I'm going to Devon for a week today so I thought I'd watch a film (Dawn Of The Dead) and start sketching my new small press book! I'm taking all the work with me, but seeings as how there will be a dog in the house, I don't trust how much work will get done...

The Elusive Sasquatch!

Whilst out on a walk, I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting the world-famous Sasquatch (Bigfoot is his stage name). We had a chat, drank some tea and he kindly posed for an out-of-focus photo for me. He's a lovely guy. Very down to earth.
