Okay, genuine excuses for the last few weeks of no posts but it’s a good one! (Checks last post, crikey! That was a month ago?!?)

So firstly, a month ago I had the idea that I wanted to get back to attending conventions and applied for a table at LFCC. All good, I’d sell my old books and left over prints and it would be stress free and fun, right? RIGHT? Nahhhh (because me)

So I decided to release a new Lloyd and the Bear volume as I had the issues all ready – of course, it’s not that simple as I had to get it all proof read, compiled and extras added! That… took time. AND STRESS!!!

And then we had LFCC which for those who remember my stories from YEARS ago I was against ever doing again but man I am SO HAPPY that I went! I met some super awesome people, had one guy asking me some super interesting questions that go me thinking about the process behind one of my art prints (this one)

And yeah, it was a great three days and a fantastic way of getting back in to doing conventions!

Now admittedly, I got Covid. Oof. For like, the FIRST TIME and ALSO during a stupid heatwave! I’m Scottish, that seriously sucked!!! Next time you see me I’m going to be masked up. Ain’t going through that again. Seriously.

Still. Worth. It. Though.

So yeah, going to be in Leicester at Forbidden Planet for Small Press Day on the 13th of August and so looking forward to it! I love Leicester and have such great memories of being at a convention there many a year ago! PLUS, I should have Fenton Hud #1 with me too! Yup, much like LFCC I’m ensuring I’m pushing as much work my way beforehand to stress myself out!

Work wise, I’m currently finishing issues #2 of Fenton Hud (sorry, can’t show you the page as it’s a MASSIVE spoiler) and about to start on the final page of Lloyd and the Bear #17 which I will TOTALLY show once it’s done! So far I’ve done a few sketches of the layout as it’s a splash page and here’s a wee bit of it!

Yay! Sketches! Thank goodness for PC art thingys to make it look better!

Okay, more soon and apologies for the lack of posts (again!)

Bear hugs!
