Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair 2013 Report

I went to the Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair on Friday to try and sell some comics. It was in the St John's Centre, on a balcony and in a cafe. The organisers and cafe staff were very nice and friendly, they brought us free coffee, cakes and crisps all day, so that was great. I was worried it would be way too hot, but it wasn't too bad. It got a bit stuffy in the afternoon so I had to keep wandering about so as not to fall asleep.
It was very quiet for visitors but I managed to sell enough comics to cover all my costs of getting there so I was happy with that. Thanks to everyone who came along to have a look, or buy my comics! I wonder if it was busier on the Saturday (as it was a two day event) but I had to go do a market. If you didn't come along, or missed me, why not buy some of my comics from my website.

Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair Tomorrow

Just a reminder I'll be at the  Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair tomorrow, why not come along if you are nearby. I'll have all my comics with me. It is on from nine till five in the St John's Shopping Centre.

Thanks!

Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair

I'm going to be at Leeds Cross Cultural Book Fair on Friday the 26th of July. I'll be in the Zine Festival section in the middle of town.  Here's their web site. Hopefully it'll be cool. I'll bring lots of my comics along, why not come and say hello if you live near Leeds.

Bradford Baked Zines All This Week

If you are near Bradford this week why not go along to the Bradford Baked Zines Pop- Up Shop. They are open till the 18th of May and are selling some of my comics along with lots of other great zines and comics. There are lots of talks and events on there too.

Sheffield Zine Fest Report

Sheffield Zine Fest on Saturday went really well! It was in the Electric Works, just next to Sheffield station so it was very easy to get to. Here's a photo of the Electric Works, my obligatory boring stall photo and a photo of my haul of stuff I bought and traded.

I was sat next to Russell Steadman who I had a table next to at Leeds Thoughtbubble so that was cool. The zine fest was good and busy all day long, with no long gaps. I sold plenty of comics and covered all my costs and made a few quid to spend on other comics, so that was great! The Electric Works has a slide which goes from the third floor to the ground floor reception but I was too busy to have a ride on it, which shows how busy it was. Thanks to the organisers, and everyone who came along! Hopefully I'll be able to go to the next one too.

Sheffield Zine Fair

I'll be at Sheffield Zine Fair on Saturday. Should be good, why not come along if you live near Sheffield. I'll have all my recent comics and some older ones too! Here's a link to the site.

I'm busy drawing 'California - part four' at the moment but I can't show any as every panel would give away what happens next. It will be out on the 1st of April.

Bristol Comics and Zine Fair Report

This is 'Start the Bus' which was the venue for the fair. It was very rainy in the morning but cheered up later on.
Here's an obligatory shot of my table at the fair. My camera was running out of batteries so I didn't get anymore photos but don't worry I'll steal some soon.

I had a very good time at the Bristol Comics and Zine Fair yesterday. Thanks to Simon, Nick and Dave for organising it and sorting everything out. I went down on the Saturday and we had a good night out drinking bitter with loads of cartoonists. I sold a reasonable amount at the fair and did a lot of really good trades so I'll write about some of them in the future.

Here's a better picture, its Simon and Nick. Picture stolen from this much better written report on the day.

Also some of my comics will be on sale from the Rotherham Zine Library table at the Sheffield Zine Fair on the same day (Sunday 25th of September) if you live near Sheffield. There will be copies of my newest comic 'The Flying Leaf Creature' at both events.

Zine Exhibition in Sheffield

I've sent some comics along to the D.I.Y. Summer at Site exhibition, workshop and events in Sheffield. Sounds cool. It runs from the 23rd of August till the 7th of September at the Site gallery, Brown Street, Sheffield. They are setting up a new Zine Library there too. I sent some comics for sale and some for the library.
