Hello breakfast!
Not you, not yet anyway, cannibalism isn't something I'm planning for the foreseeable, I just happen to be at woolley edge services (?) on the way to the MCM Birmingham at the NEC this weekend and realised I'd omitted to fuel me or the vehicle. *cue dream-y clutching of post-food tea combined with mellow distance-staring.
Anyway, so the month of events (there should be a better name for this: sadly "Odyssey" is already taken by at least four things I can think of, and yes that clearly does include Tank Girl) continues apace. A fond hello and/or apology to those of you who were waylaid by me or Mav or Clare at the London Super Comic Con, the Sci-fi Weekender or the Leeds Steampunk Market.
So, what's next?
If you're around Birmingham this weekend and need to fill your vision with pretty drawn things then you'll find me and a pile of other small-press comics guys at the MCM Expo at the NEC in an area called "the comic village".

The weekend after that it's the Steampunk Seaside Weekend at Camber Sands which should be a hoot!

After that I think it's Eastercon but right here and now I'm going to stare into the distance and clutch my cup of tea.

Once again I've teamed up with the lovely folks at the Steampunk Chronicle to send joyous (and not at all brutal) valentines-y greetings to the people you wish to inform of your dubious intentions:

In other news, hi again! It seems to be the way of things that January is a month I intend to do a thousand things and then it ends too soon. Foo. That said I've set the footing for some truly excellent stuff and we're slowly ironing out the running of the online-shop (apologies to anyone who had to wait a bit for orders in mid-January, we had a few plagues here at the Tower (and even a frog!) and as there's only really me and the lovely Cathy we got a bit back-logged) and of course February is the best month of the year (there may be some subjective bias here).
One thing I'm trying to figure out at the moment is how to optimise my time, notably my drawing-stuff time, so I've finally passed my share of the reins to the Leeds Steampunk Market to my co-conspirator Steve. Which incidentally leaves me more time to draw graphics for the LSM so weirdly there'll probably be more of that … anyway, the next one is the second weekend in March so if you're free that weekend and fancy seeing a hearty curation of steampunk awesome (and as ever the tea museum! hurray!) then potter along then!
Anyway, as February is here I'm warming up the stall-o-tron for what looks to be a solid month or two of events:
23rd-24th Feb – London Super Comic Con - http://www.londonsupercomicconvention.com/
1st-3rd March – Scifi Weekender – http://www.scifiweekender.com/
9th-10th March – Leeds Steampunk Market - http://www.leedssteampunkmarket.co.uk/
and then probably:
MCM birmingham
Steampunk Camber Sands
Eastercon
so, if you're about I'll see you guys then!

Hello!
Yes, it has been a while since I molested your faces with pointless wittering (for which I can only apologise excessively and in a way that, whilst not my intention, may sound both passive-aggressive and very sarcastic – "I'm soooooooooooo sorry" – see? clearly there must be some kind of maximum quantity of apology anyone can deliver before they sound like they don't mean it, hmmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with the number of 'o's involved?). Anyway, in truth I actually wanted to be sincere for a second: it's only a couple of years ago that I once again tried to make this "drawing crap I like" thing my full-time career and I'm still really touched that you guys have helped me continue in this ridiculous dream. Cheers! You're very lovely people and I just hope I can repay you in some small way by DRAWING EVEN MORE NONSENSE!
Have a very lovely xmas & new year, I'll see you about with more plans and schemes and nonsense next year!

Yep, as promised by the Steampunk Chronicle: a selection of faux-victoriana cards by myself, William Kevin Petty, and Gretchen Jacobsen for you to abuse your beloved ones with!

End of day one at Halifax and the fake-historical portrait is coming on a treat! There's like perspective & everything! We've covered most of the foreground now but if you fancy then join us tomorrow and you too can be immortalised fleeing from a giant battenberg!
