Cardiff Comic Con

So Cardiff is finally getting a Comic Con after so many years of me saying 'Cardiff should have a comic con'. I was mostly saying this because I was too lazy/poor to visit London or elsewhere to go to the cons there. Now I have a good job, Cardiff get's one.

However I will be there. In the flesh and everything. Selling things maybe. With a booth type of table thing, which I'll be sharing with my good friend Kate Evans, artist extraordinaire. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to have with me there - I mean sure, there's going to be books and shit like that, but I used to do comics you know. Shit comics, so maybe we'll ignore that.

But I've been asking people, taking polls and threatening animals and the general consensus is that I could look into doing short stories of some description. My main issue is that my short stories end up being the opposite of that, but I have recently written and completed The Year which is classed as a short story, but I don't think that's what the people I threatened asked meant when they said 'short'. Maybe they were just make a general observation of my height, those pricks.

Someone else suggested bookmarks, but I think this is something more for artists. When I went to the Cardiff Comic Expo recently I saw there were other people selling books - but they had waaay more titles than me. I'm not crazy keen on using the Scourge copies I have, as they're missing page numbers at present. I'll have to look into a way of getting other versions created to fix this (this was because it was on Kindle originally and I'm a fool for forgetting) and Averan is coming along fairly all right, so I am not sure what I'm going to do with it - whether I go the same route as Scourge, or submit it somewhere. Who knows. Probably the latter.

Maybe I can write more short stories ... Time to think of the various ideas I've had in the past! GET TO WORK, BRAIN


Oh hey, I drew this in work today:
