Blackburn Art Market Report


Look at the weird place my stall was, it's in the entrance hall of the market which is just like a shopping arcade. I had a fish and chip shop behind me and a fruit and veg stall in front. It was a lot different from being at a comics convention! It was sunny, well lit and well ventilated though. Most people seemed confused and baffled by the idea of comics, I could have done with a big sign saying 'COMICS!!!' but after going to mainly comic conventions before I hadn't thought of this. Didn't sell many comics, I sold three copies of 'Train to Shanghai' and a set of the 'Random Journeys' trilogy. This covered my costs (£5) for the stall and getting there and a cup of coffee so I broke even for the day. I didn't sell any copies of 'The Pasty Anthology' even though they looked very nice in their fancy bags. It wasn't very busy on the market, maybe everyone was outside because it's meant to be the only sunny day this week.
Oh well. I broke even and have learned that markets in the North West (even art markets like this) aren't very good places to sell comics. Many thanks to everyone who bought a comic, I hope you liked them!

Blackburn Art Market

It's Blackburn Art Market on Saturday. My stall is meant to be in a good place, near the entrance, so hopefully I'll sell a bunch of comics. It's a weird one as it's not a comic convention so I'll be selling to new people entirely, might be good, might be bad. If anyone is nearby why not come and say hello... I'll write a report on it afterwards.

Pasty Anthology Bags

As it's Blackburn Art Market next Saturday I've been printing some bags up to sell the Pasty Anthology in. They have come out very nice I think and should brighten up my stall. I'm going to write my web address on the back of the bags too.
