Wut wut wut wut

Yeah I finished CreateSpace. I mastered CreateSpace. I became LORD AND MASTER OF GODDAMN CREATESPACE.

I finished uploading and editing and finishing the comic, and its now on it's way to me - 20 copies (because I couldn't really get any more right now and seriously, there needs to be a CreateSpace UK so I can order them from the UK and not the US of A to get them cheaper and faster) for me to take to the Cardiff Comic Con.

Things man, they be happening all over the place.

Additionally, I came up with a new character called Cake Radge. Here he is:

Other than this terrible news, I am doing other things but I don't feel like telling you about them now.


Like thinking about doing some more short stories. Dammit, my plan failed!

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:

They see me bowling, they be laughing

Because I suck at bowling. Unless the sides are up, then shits going to get REAL. REALly bad.

So anyway, I've been doing some stuff on my site - I finally figured out how to move the master menu tabs across (I added a new page after I had added the page with a link to this blog, and I realised suddenly the contact tab had vanished off the side of the site), so now there's a new tab there for this:

I'm so glad Blogger made that image smaller, because in reality it's 1468px by 2088px and took weirdly forever to load on my website when I uploaded it.

I made the cover myself (obviously, I mean it's not a work of art or anything ...) because I'm probably going to make this story (its a short one) free somewhere. I'm not sure where yet. Maybe I'll print off reams of it and give them to people in the street, whilst making full eye contact whilst saying 'Do you do everything to please our Lord Jesus Christ?'. Mainly because they'll be really confused when they read it (or throw it away) and find out it has nothing to do with Jesus. 

I used to do Smashwords, but I never really seemed to get much downloads on there compared to Amazon (sorry, Smashwords) and Wattpad, but my work isn't One Direction based so that was a bit pointless for me too, sadly. I only found out that Harry Stiles existed because of Comic Relief (although to be honest he seemed like a nice enough kid who got very upset so shows he has some form of a heart which will be torn out by the robots who run the music industry ... or the lizardmen).

I'm currently working on The Ashes of Averan part three, which may well conclude the first book - depending on how long all three parts are when they're completely typed up. If it's not long enough I've started basic planning of what could feasibly be part four, but if I don't need any more parts it will become book two part one instead.

I'm also going to be at the Cardiff Comic Con with my good friend Kate Evans (my go-to girl for covers), so I'm hoping to have Averan completed by then at least, which is happening on the August 31st - September 1st weekend at the CIA (currently called the "Motorpoint Arena"). I'm maybe going to look at having my shorter stories available in some sort of hard format, perhaps grouped together for the con. Who knows. I already have business cards with my website on them.

ONWARD!
