'Crowthorn' Comic Now on Sale

 My latest comic 'Crowthorn' is back from the printers today and is now on sale. It's a 36 page A5 black and white comic. This comic tells the story of Crowthorn, a small village near my house that was built by orphans in Victorian times. It's more history based than my Croal comics. I went for a walk round the village as it is now, and drew most of the buildings and views. 

It is priced at £4.50 with free postage in the UK. If you live abroad please buy it in my shop on the blog here, and click the overseas postage button right at the top of the page. Thanks! 

Here's the cover and the first couple of pages. 

Front Cover For My 'A Dragon So Stupid Looking' Comic

 Here's the front cover for my dragons comic. It's called 'A Dragon So Stupid Looking'. It still needs some more work on it, once I get some new black ink for my brush pen. 

My 'Crowthorn' comic is on it's way in delivery, it's in Ramsbottom at the moment so it might come today, or tomorrow. I'll put it on sale once it turns up.

'Snkt'

'This Adventure is a Lot More Scary'

 Here's another row of panels from my dragons comic in progress. I've finished drawing it now, its 36 pages. I'll do a front cover this week.

Dragons

 Here's a big panel with lots of dragons. Up to page fourteen now of this new comic. I'd have liked to have sent my Crowthorn comic to the printer this month, but due to all the rain I've not made any money at my markets. Maybe next month? There's still that space comic I drew as well, but that one is longer so it'll have to wait. Any eccentric millionaires fancy printing them for me?

'Gulp'

 Here's two rows from my comic in progress, first sighting of the dragons. 

First Page of My New Dragons Comic

Crowthorn Memorials at Edgworth Methodist Church

 I was on a walk round Edgworth the other week and went into the churchyard at the Methodist Church to see the Crowthorn related memorials. Here they are - there's the mass grave memorial and the War Memorial with all the NCHO men who were from the Childrens Home. 

Crowthorn Front and Back Covers

 Here's the front and back covers for my Crowthorn comic, unless I change them later. I have scanned all the comic, redone all the wonky lettering, which was annoying me, and now I'm cleaning all the pages. I would have got it printed soon but I had to get a bunch of plumbing fixed in my house, so now it'll be a while.

Margaret Jackson - A Retrospective - Exhibition, Hive Gallery, Bolton

 My Dad organised a retrospective exhibition for my Mum's paintings. It's at Hive Gallery, the Market Place, Bolton. I went and looked round yesterday, it looks really good. The Opening is next Saturday afternoon so I'll go along to that. Lots of the little paintings have sold so thats very nice. Paintings should be up on many peoples walls instead of being stored. Thanks to Julie and everyone at the gallery for hanging the paintings so nicely and organising a lot of stuff. 

Here's lots of pictures of the gallery as I want to keep them.
