I wasn't going to post anything today, but here's a quickie anyway. In my last post, I mentioned Jenny Everywhere, the open source comic character created by Steven and a bunch of others several years ago.
This morning, for some reason, I put pen to paper and knocked up a quick sketch of her within [...]

For those of you (if there are any of you) waiting for the next instalment of my Painshill Park posts, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer. What with spending last weekend at Caption, where I took a lot of photos that needed going through, having other things I needed to get done [...]

In search of the Atom Style / Atomium 58: 14 visies [Comics and Architecture post #3] – And speaking of the retrofuture, I want to go to these exhibitions at the Atomium in Brussels. Amazing building, wonderful art, lovely beer, who wants to come with me? I'm thinking first weekend in September (it finishes on [...]

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? [Comics and Architecture post #2] – And talking about comics and architecture, I'm quite curious to read this book, even though there's something about the art that slightly puts me off (the colours I think) But the attention to design detail sounds very impressive.
"I think there’s at least [...]

Architects Journal on the Top 10 comic book cities [Comics and Architecture post #1] – Meant to post this last week. Obviously it's got different stuff to what I'd have chosen — I'd have included Carla Speed McNeil's wonderful Dome of Anvard City from her comic Finder, and Rian Hughes' retrofuturistic version of London in [...]

Little People – a tiny street art project: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MEN OF TOMORROW? – new solo show – new solo show 'Whatever Happened to the Men of Tomorrow?'

Some future events to look forward to:
April 24th-26th: Alex Milway's Crystal Palace Children's Book Festival, with loads of people from the Super Comics Adventure Squad (formerly of the DFC) and some fun-looking workshops.
May 3rd: the London Zine Symposium. I remember seeing loads of lovely handmade books and things there last year, so I'm sure [...]

I didn't make it to the model trains at the Peoples' Palace, but I did make it to mini comics at, er, the Peoples' Palace. How many Peoples' Palaces are there in London anyway?
Anyway, nomenclature aside, it was a good event, by all accounts. I deliberately arrived late, as past events have seen me [...]

It's that time of the year again. That's right, it's time for The Thing on Saturday. Looks like it's going to be a good year again — this list of attendees doesn't even cover all of them.
In the nearby New Globe pub, those rebel reprobates from LUC are having their own breakaway event, SchmurgenCon. [...]
