UPDATE!!!

Nothing really happening on this project at the moment, but you'll hear about it when it does.

Work commitments

...have made me tardy. And baffled. And confused.

But that maybe another tale for another time. But onwards and upwards.

There has been some interest from a few quarters about this anthology. Deadline for submissions is going to be end of April. Get drawing your daily hells.

Return from Leeds

Right, I'm very knackered. Been a hectic day or so in Leeds. Did not intend on staying over and as a consequence flopped on the floor of a hotel room- not all that much sleep, and a miasma of socks and ass gas seemed to hang around at floor level.

But, had a really good weekend - had a few adventures, few drinks and lots of fun.

I managed to give a few flyers out for the "Brave, Brave Idiots" and if you've reported back here as a consequence, WELCOME!

I'll try and explain the intention of the anthology using this very weekend, this actual Sunday evening, right now as an illustration.
Had such a good time at Thought Bubble and now, I can feel tomorrow morning creeping in around the peripheries as I type. I know that as I'm sat at my desk, in my office, with all of those people to call and problems to sort out; all of those brightly coloured post-it notes and my missing pens I'll get a flashback to Leeds - whether it be an attack of the guffaws when the "hobo-flash" walked past, or...I don't know - just talking to people who I have things in common with. It is damned good fun being in one of those convention rooms. It is something that I rarely experience at the day-job.

I imagine over the coming blogs I will explain more, but as

my hangover has finally

gone it's probably a good time to retire into an actual bed.

I think I should boil the idea for this book down into a catchy phrase. I'll work on this.

But for the timebeing, let me say that the anthology, when finished, is not intended to be a moan against working as a concept; I love to work, and if you're in the small press/alt-comics scene it will probably be the same. The day-job sometimes feels like the hobby, and the proper work starts when I get home. I think the main objection is the sacrifice of my enjoyment for the sake of paying the bills.

I KNOW WHAT I WOULD RATHER BE DOING!

Leeds

You may have seen a flyer at Leeds and been directed here.

I still have to cut the flyers in half that I will be handing around tomorrow. It is late. I am tired.

If you have seen me at Leeds, and found your way here - apologies for the lack of info. Be sure to check back. I will write a better post when I have had a sleep.

In the meantime, here's one of the flyers you may have seen

BYE!
