Manchester MCM Comic Con

 

 

Thank you to everyone we saw at Manchester MCM Comic Con! It was a really great event and I had a brilliant time at the table with Sarah Fogg. The stormy weather meant it was a soggy convention, but that didn’t seem to get in the way of the fun!

I launched #2 of Giant Rhinos In Space at the event. Most items in the photos are available to order from my Etsy shop or Sarah’s Etsy shop.  (and the Adventure Time/Attack On Titan poster on the far right is by our table neighbour Ryuuza)

The next event we’re attending is Comica Comiket at The British Library on Saturday 16th August! (confirmed events list on the blog sidebar)

Chapter 2 In Print

 

 

Chapter 2 of Giant Rhinos In Space arrived from the printers this week. I'm launching the comic at Manchester MCM Comic Con along with the open submissions Gorillaz Fanzine I organised recently. You'll be able to find our table in the Comic Village section of the event listed as Sammy Borras & Sarah Fogg.

We will also be launching the summer pirate themed issue of What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? as well as new free mini comics to hand out.

We have added a comics event over the summer - Comica Comiket at The British Library on Saturday 16th August 2014!

 Giant Rhinos #2 and the Gorillaz Fanzine are now available to order through my Etsy Shop.

(Sorry about the hazy photographs - It's very bright today and I tried my best with a phone camera and photoshop)

 I'll be going on a break again - the breaks between chapters are so I can work on other shorter comics and build up a buffer.

Rescheduled update & Gorillaz Fanzine

Sorry I had planned to have a couple of weeks of buffer like I did in January, but I was ill in the weeks between setting the deadlines and the launch of chapter 2. This week I had an extra commission and some unexpected overtime which I can’t afford to turn down.

I really don’t want to rush the artwork so I’m going to skip a week. Pages 39-41 will go online on Friday 23rd May 2014.

I’m organising a Gorillaz Fanzine for Manchester MCM Expo. Submissions are open to everyone! click here for the full tumblr post. I’d really love to get a variety of styles so I’m trying to share it as much as possible.

Thanks again
Sammy

I had a great time on the Inspired Comics table with Sarah Fogg and Jack Davies at Manchester MCM Expo last weekend. We had a couple of new comics on the table which was exciting, including my new short story comic 2002 and the music zine Sarah and I finished this month.

The next event Inspired Comics  have confirmed a table at is London MCM Expo in October.

Annie and her best friend. :)

Daft Punk - One More Time

I had a great time at Bristol Expo selling comics with Inspired. We'll be doing the same at  London MCM Expo and Manchester MCM Expo!!

News and Location sketches

I took the Inspired Comics stock to Manchester MCM Expo a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, thank you to everyone who stopped by the table or bought something. I had the new Giant Rhinos mini comics/posters and plectrums there for the first time. I'm hoping Inspired Comics will have a table at couple of events in autumn including Thought Bubble.

These are sketches from the National Space Centre. I didn't get to finish the International Space Station drawing because the model actually rotates now. I think Voyager is the only sketch I forgot to label.

This is Bought Into Being playing an acoustic set at Sunday Night Live a couple of weeks ago.
