Important potato information

I don't want this blog to become like the rest of the internet, but would feel selfish if I kept this to myself. do any of our American friends know Sooty? This may be lost on them.

Toy Boxes

Sometimes I get really nice requests that are right up my street, like this - decorating toy boxes for Manchester Art Gallery. They are going to form part of one of the sessions that they run for visiting schools, this one for primary age and all about the differences between old toys and new ones.

Now in some shops!

Issue 1 of TeenWitch is now in stock at the following outlets -
Gosh! Great Russell St, London
Travelling Man (branches in Manchester, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Nottingham and Bristol)
Also arranging a shipping container full for the US, watch this space for more stockist updates.

Resonant Frequencies

Front and back cover design, begun some years ago after attending one of those art events, and for some reason never quite got around to producing any content. Anyone feel up to it?

Dreamobile

Nothing to do with comics or workshops, except that this is what I'll be buying as soon as I make any money from it. I've long wanted an airport 'Tugmaster' customised with a waltzers fairground canopy, and then I finally saw this one at Klondyke Steam Preservation Centre in Draycott-in-the-Clay.
Also saw this -

Nice cat

Clearing up after a comics session at the Powerhouse library in Moss Side I found this, screwed up on the floor. How could someone not be pleased with this, the nicest cat ever drawn?

Kylie

Badge designs (not coloured by me) for the family drop-in activities at Manchester Art Gallery during the big exhibition of Kylies socks and blouses. Kids (well, girls) are loving it.

Gone to Print

Inside pages now all printed. Just dropped of this cover image at MARC the Printers, should be ready by the end of the week. Then all I have to do is fold, staple and trim 500 copies but I'll go as quick as I can.

The Weekend Leisurely

A Sunday Supplement from about 4 or 5 years ago that I am NOT considering entering for the COMICA/Observer competition.
