The fayre, reviews and Malcy.
Got the prints from Lee, they are looking great! Now we have prints for the art fayre from artists: Al Davison, Jeremy Dennis, Andy Richmond, Richard Starzecki, Terry Wiley and me. Also sorted out the comic printing, although it's a lot more than we were hoping to pay. But at least we'll have something to show at the fayre!
The last few weeks have been very hectic for me, and I have missed my deadline for Comics International reviews. So, apologies to everyone who sent me their work, I know how frustrating it is waiting for a review, I am very sorry and I will send reviews off for the next issue.
I got some wonderful comics through from Malcy Duff this week, and I am looking forward to reading them. Self publishing can free the creator from a lot of commercial constraints, and Malcy is one of the few artists currently testing this. His narratives are unique and his presentation of work is getting more and more bizarre. His new one has comics within comics (actually physically stuck into panels). It's really amazing work, I will try to interview him for my research as I will have to start thinking about the format of my own work soon.
I'm off to do some research in the form of reading and drawing, then I'm off to bash things with sticks.

Yes, the seminar was great, but Sammy was sadly missed. Demos just aren't the same without Sam getting injured.

Malcy sent me an e-mail regarding the interview, and it made me laugh so I'm posting it here:
"I'd be happy to do an interview for you sometime.
Better make it soon before my head gets too big and flops into my chest
and no one will be able to understand what my mouth is saying, just like
James Brown."
