Exhibitions and Stickers!

So these last few weeks i've been finishing off the last few things for my university degree. It's just the degree show now to go! Scary but i'm kind of looking forward to seeing what the next stage of life brings.
The show is next friday and we've been working to transform out studio space into a lovely clean white gallery space. It's looking pretty good!

Anyway it seems it's all been about displaying work lately. The show i mentioned previously at my favourite pub was a great night.

And then the next week i was in my local Waterstones, the Costa section, with my dad, putting up more work that's going to be up there for a month! So that's really exciting!

On another note, The Whatnot Tree goes to MCM EXPO in london on the 25th of May (so not this weekend, but next). We have a table in the trader's bit and in the artist's alley this time so that's going to be cool. 

I was hoping to have my comic, 4AM, ready and printed in time for it. But it's become apparent recently that it's not going to be which is really disappointing, but i've always said i'm not going to rush it. It will hopefully be done in time for the middle of june now. It's hit so many problems and has taken so much longer than expected. But it is still on track and i can't wait to hold a finished copy in my hands. I've worked so hard on it, i've never attempted something this big.

HOWEVER i do have stickers. Barry and Terry! And they will be on the stand in the artist alley at MCM so that's something! But if you want them now you can! Here in my esty shop.

So yeah, all in all busy, very busy, but good mainly.
Here's a nice picture i took of a tree from one of the many times i've been in the park recently :)

Thanks for reading!

Terry the comic!

Last week my short comic TERRY finally arrived back from the printers!

So i got it in time to sell it at the con of the season for us (Thought Bubble in Leeds)
I'm back from my many travels now and can finally un pack properly (rather than just flinging clean clothes in my rucksack removing the old ones and leaving again.)
So now it's listed for sale over on my Esty!
Have a look if you can please :)

 Now! It's back to work on more comics!

Have a great week!!

Casual Jazz, Pie and Classy Comics.

Hi Hi,

Just a casual blog post mainly about a few days in London with friends last week :) The theme, it was decided, was of casual Jazz and Pie and included pilgrimages. For me my pilgrimage was to the headquarters of the wondrous NoBrow in Hackney. I love what they do and own a lot of their stuff hehe. Basically it's all lovely printed short comic's and prints and stuff if you didn't know. The other main pilgrimage was a mad rampage then across london to find...pie. Not just any old pie, Pieminister Pie! We fell in love with it both years we were at the 2000 Trees Festival where they have a stand each year, so we wanted to find the actual shop. It was on the Southbank by the Thames and it was lovely :)
We then stayed on the Southbank, but down by the Eye for a few hours watching the street performers and i did some sketchs...

The casual Jazz i mentioned was due to the exhibition was went to on the first night, at the portrait gallery. It was open till 9PM for 'the late shift' and it was too cool for school with jazz and champagne. The exhibition was the BP Portrait Award 2011 and was absolutely brilliant! I really recommend it if your about the place! Crazy skills on display!

Anywho, here's my sketch before the lines and colour of my most recent drawing up on DeviantArt...

Ickle Alex and Terry. You can see it finished HERE!

...An update on my veg plot... OH MY GOD COURGETTES!!

and my favourite thumbnail from the story i've just finished doing the rough storyboard for...

But i have to go re-join the real world now... I'm earning real money these next three days (dear god), working the Tall Ships festival in Gloucester. Yay money. Hope the sun stays out!

See ya Folks!
