Bristol and an Oribital Podcats

Sorry, I didn't post up when I got back from the Bristol Expo. basically in summary I had a great time, met a lot of pros who gave me some great tips and advice, met a lot of people that i've known through twitter or heard of by the way of the Sleepless Phoenix, everyone was super nice and met some people that seemed to ooze talent.
anyway, actually a bit of a busy bee at the moment. BUT!! I do have a bit of a quick Podcast interview I did with Chris Johnson, he did it on behalf of the Orbital Comics Podcast and you can listen to it HERE
Back to work!

Bristol BICS: sneak peaks,prints and new homes


Gonna be going to the Bristol BICS this weekend, walking round as a spectator as usual, will be trying to find a new home for Dream Solver with Luke we finally wrapped up the first chapter so were taking that along to show and tell.
Also i'll be having some prints of the True Grit MB Cover that were printed for me for the CataWiki event a few weeks back, a limit of 9 A4 to be exact. so if anyone is interested in grabbing a free print with a sign or sketch be sure to find me and ask.. i know my face isn't that well known so if you check out my Twitter i'll no doubt be tweeting where i am, otherwise DM me on twitter or email me and i'd no doubt be up to meet at the venue's bar sometime for anyone who wants a sit down sketch or a print signed.
Also taking along my portfolio to get some crit from some of the pros so i'll have some sneaks at some of the web comics and books i'm working on at the moment.

Dream Solver: EBook Preview

Finally posted a new preview for Dream Solver, you can read through here:
Myebook - Dream Solver - click here to open my ebook
Meanwhile i'm going to sit in the corner to cringe and wait on whatever comments may get thrown in. please leave crits or comments if you have time.
This is the book that propelled me into the comics realms, so there is a lot of finding my comfort zone both technically and stylistically so i think my style has a lot to be desired, although i am happy with most and i think i've stepped it up a notch as the book goes on....but you'll have have to wait and see about that. anyway enjoy.
Big thanks to Luke for waiting out on me to get things done on my end, and to Lauren for jumping into the pot midway and making it look even better.
Adios
Also keep checking the Dream Solver Blog for more updates!

Time-Lapse Video: Stuff Bot

just got wind of a time video of me doing a sketch for Stuff Magazine. I did my first sign and sketch session last week at Orbital Comics in Leicester Square last week (sorry forgot to post info about that..nerves) but before the session Luke from Stuff Magazine asked me to do a sketch for the online magazine and to film it with some flashy tech. so here it is the ...."Stuff Bot".... literally did it on the spot and a short time to film so that my excuse for any mess. anyway Enjoy:
Stuff Bot Sketch Vid

Also the guys at Orbital where kind enough get me on their Podcast show, i had a really good laugh with them for a few minutes while they asked me some stuff about how i got on True Grit and general who what when and why about me. unfortunately the sound quality ended up pretty naff so hopefully going in to do another quick Q&A soon so i'll post up that i they ever let me back on for a mumble.
I had a really awesome first time sketch session at Orbital on the behalf of the Guys at the CataWiki site so a nice little shout out to them. but i'll go into that session more in another post because i need some space to babble on about that properly. meanwhile, thanks to those who showed up had a chat and watched me sketch like a nervous chimp.
