Okayyyy soooo nobody cares, but for my own sanity at least, I finally got around to putting a coloured version of my verrrrry rarely updated comic project up over at "my website" – been a looooong time coming and real life has rather pushed this whole project way down my priority list – does this mean you’ll ever see issue #3? Well, never say never right? RIGHT?
Hope you enjoy reading it anyhow!
IT’S OVER 9000!!!! D:
Ahem… so, ‘tis the season for Thought Bubble map graphics and myself and are not above this fine tradition - that lady with the nice shoulder pads in the infographic provided will hopefully be admiring our fine collection of stuff and things in the Royal Armouries Hall this weekend, including some sexy postcards if they arrive on time (last min? MOI?) and plenty of issues of P.A.W for your delectation.
Come say hi why not!
“Launching issue #2 of P.A.W protection Against Wrongdoers at Thought Bubble 2013, artist and writer Chris Gould invites readers to explore the city of Puppville, a place where until recently, Canines and Felines had been living together in a delicate balance of power – when that balance was destroyed and the fur started to fly, Canine Alex Stix became caught up in events that would place her in the protective custody of a mysterious group calling themselves P.A.W, via agents Bones and Spot.
So just who are these guys? What is this organisation they work for and why was Alex of such interest to both the agents and the new Feline mayoral candidate Joseph King? Meanwhile, will the police cope with the darstardly new supervillain making their debut in downtown Puppville and what help can Alex be to the situation? Find out in issue #2 of P.A.W: Protection Against Wrongdoers! For more info please visit www.pawcomic.com”
Super excited and terrified to see what people think of the new issue – I think Spot’s general demeanour there is pretty reflective of my feelings on the situation currently! Come chat to me why not at table #60 in New Dock Hall to see what all the fuss is about, and while you’re there be sure to have a chit chat with my usual partners in crime and who’ll be launching new comics too – huzzahs!
I’ve not made one of these before, but given the size of Thought Bubble with it’s 3 (yes 3!) halls of amazingness, I figured it might be an idea to point curious visitors in our general direction:So, if you’d like to come sample the work of me, Mr. Chris Gould, Mr.Zak Simmonds-Hurn, and the rt hon Mr. Matthew Bramble you can now find us all keen as mustard sitting at the front of the class… we might even be giving you a cheery wave as you walk in the entrance, ‘cos we’re nice/desperate like that!
Wowzers, finally found time to come up for air after a looooooooooooog weekend of conventioning in Bedford at the Northants International Comic Exhibition. Photos and sketches from the event are going up over at my tumblr, but here are a few breif thoughts:
-Lots of visitors to our table, which is always a bit of a releif! A big hello to everyone who stopped by to chat to us and let us waffle on at you about comics, and an even bigger thank you to those of you who came away with purchases! I hope you enjoy them and do please get in touch if you enjoyed them, it would be great to hear some feedback!
- Lots of comics fans bringing their kids along to expereince comics, some for the first time. Some were bigger into cartoons and some were more into the movies, but for most of them they were all just interchangable parts of the same thing - it was the characters that seemed to be the most important thing, not neccesarily which version at this stage in their expereince I hope there will be lots more titles to cater to these guys in the future!
- Lots and lots of sketching! We were giving away free sketches with purchase of our comics, which seemed to be a popular deal. In fact, part of me wonders if next time we should offer free comics with every sketch! Poor spent sunday pretty much with his head in his commission paper, so long was his list of sketch requests from keen fans of his work!
- Final thought for now: If the organisers hold it in N.I.C.E in Bedford ( in Bedfordshire) again, will they have to rename it to B.I.C.E? :S
