Giant Rhinos On Tour #7 - Free Mini Comic!

Hi! Giant Rhinos On Tour #7 will be released at Manchester MCM Comic Con 2015 - You will be able to pick up a Free Mini Comic at my table in the Comic Village. If I miss handing one to you (or my sister is at the table) - the secret password is ‘Do you have a business card?’

The comic pages will go online at 12noon GMT on Sunday 26th July 2015

The left over stock from 2014 ('Party Poopers’) will be sent out with online Etsy orders (along with a copy of 'Selfie Sabotage’)

Plectrums and Cover Art

 

 

 

I designed some new plectrums recently. They are available to order through my Etsy shop. All Etsy orders come with a free mini comic featuring characters from Giant Rhinos In Space.
Don’t forget you can catch up with the first 2 chapters of Giant Rhinos In Space online here. I’m hoping to launch chapter 3 early in the new year!
About the plectrums …

• Giant Rhinos are the band featured on the cover of GRIS#1 - this plectrum is 0.71 GLOW IN THE DARK
• Annie and the Tectonic Plates are the band featured on the cover of GRIS#2 
• Black Like My Heart are the band featured on the cover of GRIS#3 - this plectrum has silver ink

Free Mini Comic: Party Poopers

New free mini comic to hand out at events! This year Inspired Comics Collective have confirmed tables at Manchester MCM Expo in July and London MCM Expo in October. The secret password to guarantee you get your copy is 'Do you have a business card?'

I'm still deciding whether to post the poster drawing online or keep it secret for those who get hold of the print version.

This Is Not A Serious Music Publication

Sarah Fogg and I have been working on a music zine. It contains articles, illustrations and comics featuring Blur, The Kinks, Everything Everything, Peace, Gorillaz, De La Soul, Little Dragon, Helen Arney, Bellatrix, Gil Scott-Heron, Ghostpoet, DANGER DOOM, The Subways, The Clash, Elastica, Phillipa Hannah, The Unthanks and Young Knives. It also contains an exclusive Giant Rhinos mini comic. We're realising it tomorrow at the Birmingham Zine Fair and it's available to buy through my etsy shop.

Black Like My Heart

Sorry, I've wanted to draw this for a long time.

Giant Rhinos On Tour #3 - The Crossroads

 

This 6 page mini comic is to be photocopied and given out at events. The printed version will also contain the ACE POSTER mentioned on the cover. I'm also hoping to print a full cover version.

Kerry

 

Kerry is in the fictional band called Black Like My Heart with her best friend Wayne. You can read more comics about them on the mini comics page. I like drawing these long faced goth characters, these are Kerry's cousins.

Black Like My Heart can't afford as many different outfits as they would like or the instruments they really want. Kerry would love to own a Keytar, because she really loves style over sound quality.

Cat's Eyes - I'm Not Stupid

Black Like My Heart's main outfits is obviously a reference to My Chemical Romance's Black Parade. But this song is probably my favourite emo song. I quite like how over the top it gets at the most heightened points of the song. It also beautifully produced and nice to listen to regardless of the content. 'Never Trust a Happy Song' almost fits.
