The Thought Bubble Comic Art Competition 2013

I have some actual news!

On Sunday at Thought Bubble, the winners of the Festival’s 2013 Comic Art Competition were announced. I was honoured and delighted to be awarded second place in the adults category!

Find me at Thought Bubble 2013!

I’m finally on my way to Thought Bubble!

I’m exhibiting there — selling new books, prints, cards and even a lunar calendar (I won’t ‘Force” you to buy that!) I’ll have a small selection of original drawings too.

Come and say hi to me at Table 9 in Royal Armouries Hall. I’m there all weekend!

Postcards from an island

I’ve just found some postcards I sent to my children when I was working away from home a couple of years ago.

I was storyboarding some episodes of The Adventures of Abney & Teal for Ragdoll Productions in Stratford-upon-Avon, and it was the first time I’d been away from my family since my younger son was born. When I got back to my B&B room I would sometimes write (or rather draw, as they were then aged 1 and 3) to my kids. It was for my own enjoyment as much as theirs.
