Here’s a few doodles from my sketchbooks. These aren’t works in progress and were drawn in a few minutes so kindly adjust your expectations…

The image below is a collection of photos of a book I produced during several Pen Club sessions (a weekly drawing event in New Cross that everyone is welcome to attend - email me for details). The book has a concertina design and folds out to reveal one long piece of paper…

Some new crude but quick sketches…

This year’s TCAF was without a doubt one of the best comic shows I’ve seen. A wonderfully diverse and inspirational line-up of small press talent, excellent guests, and interesting panels (from what I’ve heard - I was stuck behind my table for the most part). Personally, the show was a great success and I’m genuinely surprised my peculiarly British comics managed to garner any interest at all.

The festival was organised by the kind folks who run The Beguiling - THE best stocked alternative comic shop I’ve ever seen…

Here are some sketches from my travels. Many of which were drawn at pen club - an event organised by the talented Steve Wilson - which led to some beer-induced flirtations with colour. I am in love with sharpies…

I often get asked what comics are worth reading at the moment beyond the more obvious Craig Thompson, Chris ware, Alan Moore, Chester Brown etc… Here, for what it’s worth (ie - very little) is a list of recent (and generally belated) discoveries I think are worth your time:

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, anything by Nate Powell (although Sounds of Your name and his contribution to Meathaus issue 8 are particularly good), Mattie and Dodi by Eleanor Davis, Exit Wounds by Rutu Modan, Dogs and Water by Anders Nilsen, and Hung by Shannon Gerard.

More sketches and new comics (of my very own, and therefore not as good as anything listed above) coming soon…

Some new sketchbook pictures…

Just a few of the better (read: not absolutely shocking) sketches I did during a brief sojourn in Normandie for New Year. Typically, I’ve probably chosen the more boring moments to document but it’s always easier to draw people who aren’t moving all that much.

As usual, a mixed bag of random sketches. I tend to draw people on the tube when I’m busy and don’t have the opportunity to go to life drawing. This time, however, was more an effort to prepare for a new comic that takes place on the Underground (more on this soon). Everyone I draw is either asleep or reading because… well… because I’m a sleazy little coward who’s terrified someone will see me…
