It's the UK Comix Web Thing on Saturday which I'm looking forward too. I am at table 18 and will have Bog Wizards 2 for sale as well as all my older comics!

I went to the Manchester Comix Collective Drink and Draw on Sunday which was great. The theme was edible drawings, here is my feeble effort, my icing skills are weak....

Some of the other cake drawings are great and so is this Comic Jam, drawn on a delicious lime cheesecake. The best thing about drawing on cake was if it went wrong you could eat it, and if it worked out you could take a photo and then eat it anyhow....

80's Lovecraft Fish People Arcade

For some reason I spent my evening doing this drawing of fish people in the arcade.

Foto AG

I was just thinking that I haven't put a post on here linking to my good friend I met in China, Eric Giemza. His awesome photography website is here...............
That's him on the bottom photo sitting by a lake.

Here's a few cool photos he sent me while I was in Korea of his holiday up in the north near the Mongolian border in China (scans haven't come out too well i'm afraid). He stayed in a yurt. And there's the envelope covered in Chinese stamps. It had been opened by the suspicious Korean authorities by the time I got hold of it, and carefully looked through for Communist propaganda...

Jeffrey Brown - Be A Man

I just found my copy of 'Be A Man' on my shelf and am reading it again. It's one of my favourite things by Jeffrey Brown, it's really very very funny. I bought it at a Bristol show a few years ago now and read it all the way through at once laughing to myself, and then started showing it to other people who were passing cos I liked it so much...
I'm looking forward to his new book 'Funny Misshapen Body'.
I've not got much to read comic-wise at the moment, there seems very few new books coming out at the moment. Lots to come in a month or so though.

Great Deeds Against the Dead

Here's a little peek at the start of my new story, 'Great Deeds Against the Dead'. I havent cleaned it up or added the grey tones yet. It's a horror story but definately not about zombies. More of an old spooky house type of a story. Hopefully it'll turn out well ....

Lots Of Lat - Lat in London

Here's the first four pages of Lat's story 'To London' from 'Lots of Lat'.

Lots Of Lat - Lat

Lat is an awesome cartoonist from Malaysia, in case you haven't heard of him. Here's the front and back covers of his 1977 book 'Lots of Lat'. How great are these? Hopefully this one will come out in English (this book is half English and half Malaysian) but it will be a long time, only two of his books are out in English translations so far and I highly recommend both of them... They are 'Kampung Boy' and 'Town Boy'
