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 [...]

» Blog Archive » LUC@176 TABLE PLAN – Just a reminders about LUC176 which is happening on Saturday if you happen to be at a loose end with nothing to do. I won't be there all day, but I'll probably pop in a couple of times as it's only 'round the corner. There should be [...]

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. [...]

The APF on Sunday was pretty good fun, but I have way too many half-written posts I already want to finish, so I don't have time to say much about it. None of my photos came out, either. Fortunately, there are loads of reports up at Bugpowder, so head over there if you want to know what happened. Yay!

Also on the comics front: the latest Scott Pilgrim book is out this week. Awesome sauce.

I went to Zine Fest last Saturday, which was pretty cool. I think I first spotted something about it on upcoming, but for some reason didn't add it to my list of things I'm interested in as I usually would (and I can't even find it listed now), so I forgot all about it [...]

As you can probably tell from these extensive notes, I had fantastically interesting day on Saturday, learning about new projects, thinking in new ways, and making new friends, and spending all of Sunday thinking about them and writing about them. As Matt Ward said in his summation of PaperCamp, it was a fantastic convergence of [...]

After Aaron's talk, Tom Taylor gave a little spiel about his microprinter, a standard till printer hooked up to the internet to print whatever you command it to, which in Tom's case are things like his daily calendar, weather reports, and @towerbridge opening times to help him plan his cycling route. Nifty! The notes for [...]
