As I have mentioned my friend Abe and I have been working on a zine.

We’d like it to be underground (i.e. unknown by the general public or any one else for that matter), but see I am addicted to gifs and social media. So I am not letting that happen!

Here is a gif of our contributors and the compelling message to BUY THE ZINE.

Pre-order by emailing me or singunicorndance@gmail.com. £3,5 or €4,5

Aw and the tumblr is all pretty with animated gifs and everything! Thanks to our ‘ZineMomma and ‘ZinePapa…

…& the comic as it appears printed in the new anthology :)

Thanks to Sammy Borras for the photo, for all her hard work putting the anthologies together, and for my copy which you sent me!

Rough version of “The Butcher and the Tattooist”, in French. The original was gonna be in acrylic and pastels, but I wasn’t sure how that would show up in black-and-white - so I reworked it in pencil and ink for printing in the anthology.

Sketchbook work for “The Butcher & The Tattooist”: Translated & reworked an old comic of mine from French into English for the latest Inspired Comics anthology, “Eat Me” , which debuted this weekend at the Bristol Comics Expo!

Me and Jade Sarson at last Saturday’s Comiket! Thanks to her and Sammy, who showed up with copies of Inspired Comics’ Science Fiction Octuple Feature anthology and bookstands, and stayed the whole day helping man the table. She could have been wandering around having fun - but at Comiket having fun is a bit like being squashed by backpacks in narrow aisles. Apologies to all for spending the whole day in a kind of narcoleptic stupor.

We were also selling some of Sammy’s comics and Sarah Fogg’s work, as well as the latest issue of our ‘zine What’s The Time Mrs. Woolf?  (More on that later!)

Got a tip off from my fellow ex-comic-interns that the Parallel Lives anthology was in London’s Forbidden Planet, so while I was in the city with Dean we ventured in to take a look. We were about to leave disappointed when we spotted it on this shelf!

M-MY COMICS (and a whole host of other awesome peoples’ comics). ON SALE. IN FORBIDDEN PLANET.

FIRST FORBIDDEN PLANET, THEN THE WORRRRLD—

(If you happen to stop by, do pick up a copy yourself! It’s a great collection of comics.)

Our anthology in Forbidden planet! And Jade Sarson’s face! Two good things in this photo.

The opening night for our exhibition “Frames of Mind” was exactly a week ago tonight…(it got a lovely little write-up on this blog). There’s one more day to go before we take it down on saturday, so tomorrow is the last chance to see it! 

Thank-you of course to John, Karrie, Nadia and all the staff at londonprintstudio for their support and patience along every step of the way. Thanks also to John Lyon’s Charity for funding the internship and making the whole project possible. Thanks for taking a chance on comics.

And thanks too to the unforgettable Abe Christie, Jade Sarson, Merlin Evans, Shamisa Debroey and Susan Yan Mach!

A big thank-you to Nicola Streeten and Sarah Lightman for hosting londonprintstudio Comics Collective at their comics forum, Laydeez Do Comics, on the first Monday of this month! A little entry is now up on their blog reporting on the talk we did there, (thanks to Robin Barnard).

Thanks also to Karrie Fransman for the photos, in spite of the dark. Just…thanks forever to Karrie, really.

By the way, me and the other five pairs of feet in this image are totally curating & exhibiting in this exhibition exactly a month from now! (Left to right: Abe Christie of the Doodle DayDream Dalies, Susan Yan Mach, Merlin Evans, Shamisa Debroey, me, and Jade Sarson of Cafe Suada). They all make comics and they are all very good! And we’re launching our comic anthology too! Your presence is urgently requested…The exhibition will be open for a week after the launch too.

That’s us! (From Wednesday’s issue of Stylist Magazine)… March 19th, londonprintstudio’s team of comics interns (- me, Abe Christie, Jade Sarson, Merlin Evans, Shamisa Debroey and Susan Yan Mach) and our mentor, Karrie Fransman, will be doing a talk at Laydeez Do Comics about the work we’ve been doing recently.

Had a nice lunch and chat at Walkers today. Karrie got all of us interns in to the publishing house to talk to Lizzie Spratt, the head of their graphic novel department. They told us all about comics, publishing, nipple removing, stories and book illustration.

These are my palls enjoying their gift bag! Thank you Walkers!

Yup, we did indeed visit Walkers Books publishing house today, and it was a fantastic day. Lizzie and David (iirc) gave us an exciting insight into the way Walkers commissions and creates their books, from childrens picture books to teen illustrated fiction and diverse graphic novels. We then spent the afternoon showing them our current projects, and they had great things to say with feedback for everyone’s work.

And and and they gave us Where’s Wally tote bags to take home with us :D Editors are such lovely people! Thanks Walker Books for having us.

That’s me in the yellow! A big thank-you to Lizzie Spratt, David McDougall and Karrie Fransman :) P.S. If you’re reading this in the US, Walker Books is the British name for the children’s book publisher Candlewick Books over where you are…

Additional photos by Susan Yan Mach (Thanks, Susan!)
