I'll be attending along with 100s of other artists at what looks to be the UK's biggest comic convention yet. I've got a 'comic village' table from Friday 28th of May until Sunday 29th, so anyone who'd like to drop by and say hello, buy a signed print or book is more than welcome. We can discuss potential commissions- this is something I'm happy to do after the con, as I like to put in more time, effort and a better level of finish than is achievable while I'm there throughout the day.

This will be the 12th UK Con attended so far. MCMs are difficult to get secure a table. Too many artists and not enough capacity I suppose, so while I'd like to also attend future MCMs at London, for example in October later this year, it's likely I'll be unable to get my booking sent off in time. I usually book within 5-60 minutes of the booking form going live, but even then there's no guarantee of getting a reservation secured, so we'll have to wait to see what happens.

I just finished attending London Film and Comic Con. That's now 10 of 10 UK comic conventions over the last 10 months. A great experience, which I hope to write more about in the near future.  Chatted with loads of great people over the course and was great to meet so many artists all doing their own thing and making the effort to put themselves out there :)

I manged to get a few new pieces printed for the con including the Masked Girl series and tried out a new display constructed of black panels with a black table cloth and an A3 display book in the middle which seemed to go down well.

Currently, my plans are to slow it down- attending two or three cons a year unless I decide to create more con-friendly artwork, i.e. fan art to make it financially worth my while.

London's MCM Comic Con seemed huge this year, with apparently 133,000 tickets sold. It was my 9th time exhibiting, managing to sell out of a few postcard sized prints, which I don't intend to reprint and cleared out my stock of Digital Manga books. I'm still proud of Digital Manga as an all-in-one manual for character artists, so glad to see them sell and hopefully help out some aspiring Photoshop creatives.

I'd love to create some new artwork for the next con or cons I attend, but time is so limited right now with other projects. I'm booked up for the London Film and Comic Con at the end of July and if I can't get any new art done before, perhaps at least my latest book, 'The Artist's Guide to Drawing Manga' will be out and available to sell by then:)

I shall be attending along with dozens, if not 100s of other artists at what looks to be the UK's biggest comic convention yet. I've got a comic village table from Friday 27th of May until Sunday 28th, so anyone who'd like to drop by and say hello, buy a signed print or book is more than welcome. We can discuss potential commissions- this is something I'm happy to do after the con, as I like to put in more time, effort and a better level of finish than is achievable while I'm there throughout the day.

This will be the 9th Con attended in the last 12 months. It was this time last year when I first started making inquiries to set myself up with a table. I've had some good times at the comic cons I've been to and love being in an environment where I get to unleash my inner geek, although I just have one other convention at the London Film and Comic Con in July booked for this year and then I expect I'll only be making appearances at the London MCMs (providing I can get hold of a table booking in time, since they seem to go in under an hour of being announced!) and perhaps a few local cons here in the South East of England.

I was in Gillingham, Kent for a local convention- The 'Medway Comic and Screen Festival'. Only being 10 minutes away makes a change from the long 5 hour drives I'm used to. Not a bad little event for a one day show, selling my usual array of prints and books, while having a little extra table space this time around. I'll be at my next con in London end of May :)

Just got back after attending another weekend convention! The 7th event on my circuit for the year. Liverpool's MCM Comic Con is the furthest north I've travelled and possibly last time I'll be heading up that far out for a long while. As always, great to meet lots of cool con goers, catch up with old friends and fellow artists alike :)

Another weekend, another convention! This time at the Film and Comic Con at Olympia in London. Now that the weekend has come to an end, I'm starting to run low on some of my stock. Only 2 or 3 prints left for certain designs and I'm down to my last 8 Digital Manga books which I hope will last for Liverpool's MCM con in a few weeks time. I'll be back at the LF&CC at Olympia in July this year.

The 5th comic convention on my circuit at London's Excel centre has come to an end. I'm still enjoying the cons, and will be attending Olympia in a few days for another- The London Comic and Film Festival. The LSCC was definitely more artist orientated, with a preference for the western scene over anime, manga or film. I got to check out some work by some other amazing foreign artists who don't attend many/any other UK cons and now I'm totally eager to commission some original pieces by one or two of them as soon as I can budget for it. So much good art. If anyone has a spare million lying around anywhere, feel free to send it my way!

The 4th comic convention on my circuit in Telford, West Midlands has come to an end. I enjoyed it- met some great people and received some awesome comments about my work. Means a lot. Dealing with insomnia during a busy weekend event doesn't help matters, but I'm glad everything went smoothly.

Right now I'm in the middle of checking and amending proofs for my latest book, 'The Artist's Guide to Drawing Manga'.  It's looking nice, and hopefully will be available for sale in the coming month or two once it goes to print.

Back from attending the London Anime and Gaming Con. Managed to finally get my Deathnote fan art inked, coloured and printed for the event which got a lot of interest. I'll add it to my portfolio gallery in due course and make prints available for sale through my store soon.
