Small press comics help line
Drawn have featured Start a story which you may remember I blogged about a while ago when I contributed this gem to one of their projects.
They also do a colouring book project which I should be participating in over the next few weeks. It's easy to take part in their projects and they're great fun, especially if you're in to sequential art or 'comics' as the common folk call them.
I've been getting quite a few enquiries lately about There Goes Tokyo... which means that there is either a rise in people starting off in small press comics or the old site has been recently linked to somewhere. There Goes Tokyo... doesn't do much these days, we aren't totally defeated, but we don't produce much and we don't run events anymore, unfortunately.
So, for those of you who may be about to email me asking about small press stuff, here's my small press short cut list:
http://www.bugpowder.com/ -find out about everything thats going on here
http://www.smallzone.co.uk/ -buy, sell, print small press comics
Engine comics -keep up to date with goings on and promote your comic in RedEye magazine
Comics International-Promote your comic and get it reviewed in Comics International
All the other stuff (events, anthologies, publishers etc.) you'll find out about via these sources. There is tons out there, this will just help you get started.

Bring back TGT - but rename it as HyperGlobalMegaNet.
That would be sweet.

Yes i am planning to publish my comic, the sixpage story will be a part of an anthology (black and white) plus i am looking to get more 6page stories submitted so to build up my reputation and eventually put out a full length 30page comic, hopefully by the summer
