Here is a bit of fun from Dan Lester, one of my favourate writers (And I’m not saying that becasue we’re friends). I am working with him on another comic, that will come about later this summer eventualy (when I get my penis in gear).

So it’s summer and I don’t got’s university to go to, meaning I’m going to put pages up on Saturdays and wednesdays. That’s all. Just an extra day in the middle of your week. Two pages a week, Saturdays and Wednesdays. Yep, that’s all. Nothing else to mention. One for the mid week, one for the weekend. Alright then, I’m going now…

…Come back on wednesday for the next page.

Or just wait until all of chapter two is online, then read it all in one go. It’s the best way really, reading this comic page by page is a bad idea because I construct the story so it is best read in chapters.

This has been sitting on my computer for a bit of a while now. Maybe it should be here aswell…

Justine pinup by Isaac E. C. Lenkiewicz

Isaac is a guy what I met once, I’m not sure were. In fact I have no idea how I met this guy. Was it at Bristol? Might have been the Birmingham Expo? Meh, whatever. He’s a student like what I am, doing a fine art course I think. And he’s soon bringing out his first comic!

I love how each time somebody draws Justine’s robot arm, it changes. This is one of my favourite modifications yet! Isaac has a Devart page you could visit, were he has some cool drawings of Iron Man, Don from TMNT, HellBoy, Dr. Manhattan and one of those clone trooper people off of Star Wars.

I’ve put off righting this for long enough, I should write about Expo.

Thank you to everyone who came by my table at the London MCM Expo this weekend just gone, and thanks again for visiting the site. Anyone who bought chapter one can continue reading some more pages right now! How cool is that? Go team internet! Also welcome to anyone who clicked through from Mr Warren Ellis’ blog post, you all broke this website yesterday, I hope you are happy with yourselves. (On a side note, I’m going to be updating more often after this saturday, TWICE a week babey!)

Me and Oliver Lambden sharing a table as always.

So the Expo is the species of convention that leans towards the cosplay, the Anime and the popular culture. The comic-y side to things has always seemed pretty low key. Not this time! May’s instalment of Expo saw the comics village actually feel like a village, with a whole host of independent creators and big names intertwined in the sensible manner you could expect from organisers Anna Petterson, Emma Vieceli and VonPud (Andrew Ruddick). I didn’t really get to enjoy all this though as the only time I left my table was to sneak up to the green room to steal food.
For those who baught a copy of Justin chapter one…

Inside the back cover: Personal sketches for all!

…There was another drawing I took a picture of, but it was highly racist so I’m not posting it. See, I do have a filter sometimes. In fact, I was on a panel talking about making your own comics (how to get into it and were it can lead to) and I didn’t swear once! At least I don’t think I did. Here’s a photo. The other panellists’ don’t seem happy with what I’m saying.

“Making comics is a lot like forcibly taking a girls virginity”

All in all I had a fantastic weekend away from my desk, met wonderful people and caught up with good friends. Thank you again to Anna, Emma and Pud for organising the Village and luring Warren Ellis into the convention honey pot for the first time in a decade!! (And a big thanks to him for joining us!)
That’s all I think. As usual there was plenty of pub fun after the convention, I got the chance to show my comics to Mr Ellis but I had to leave before I could get too drunk and embarrass myself. I will leave you with the talented Adam Cadwell’s rendering of this moment along with somehting I found in my sketchbook the next day. Hope Everyone who came had as great day out, and I hope to see you all again in October!!

(By the way, the travel was a load of bollocks over the weekend wasn’t it?! I mean come on, every Expo the trains cock up. So go you if you managed to make it to the event.)

Hey you! Guess what? I totally got Justine back from the printers yesterday. She. Looks. Beautiful. (Does it sound strange when I talk about my comic as if it were a person?) I took some photums and so on, so you could start fantasising about buying one for yourself at this weekends London MCM Expo. (It’s an Anime and Manga convention don’t you know.) (I hate Anime and Manga.)(I don’t really, I just say that a lot.)
