Manchester MCM Comic Con

I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came by my table at Manchester MCM Comic Con last weekend - I had a amazing time! My next convention will be at ICE - that’s International Comics Expo in Birmingham city center (not far from New Street) on Saturday 5th September 2015. I’ll be sharing a table with Laura/PinkAppleJam! A full up to date events list can be found on the sidebar of this blog. I also have a online shop over on Etsy.

Laydeez Do Comics Birmingham is meeting next week! 6pm on Monday 3rd August - Guest speakers are Selina Locke, Hunt Emerson, Charlotta Salmi & Alex Birch - more info about the event at the LDC Birmingham Facebook page. (you don’t have to be female to attend the event)

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.

Giant Rhinos Summer Blog

Hello! I've finished most of the anthology comics I was working on over the winter and spring so I'm hoping to work more on this project again over the summer. It was a lot of fun drawing aliens again!

I'm also going to be posting identical posts on tumblr so you can follow using the website you prefer.
