We always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath

This Sunday we're in Manchester with a stall at the Victoria Bath Fanzine Fair. If you're in the neighbourhood, come check out our wares. Emily's recently added to her tattoo collection with some Arctic themed ones, including an orca, an arctic fox and some very pretty icebergs, ready and waiting for some happy buyers. See you there!

I wanna publish zines part seventy two

Emily and I are doing another zine fayre, this Thursday. It's our first in ages! We'll be at Manchester Gallery in, er, Manchester, on the 31st from 5pm, selling delightful things. The night ends a bit before 9pm, so don't dally after work.

For more information, take a look here.

Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me

Sunday 1st of April is Palm Sunday, and it is also the day of the Teenage Market in Stockport. This is the first year for this event, and it's been set up and run by Tom Barratt who is a local college student. That is quite impressive organisational skills there, I did not thinking of doing such things when I was at college, but I think it's a really enterprising idea. Screen Stockport are also supporting the event, which is cool cos we like them already. (Our opinion being not at all influenced by the fact they awarded Spin Spun Span with a bunch of accolades last year, ahem...)

Anyways, I'm sure you can guess what I'm going to say next - Emily and I will be running a stall at the market. As ever we shall be selling our hodge podge of crafty-illustrationy-animationy bits and bobs. I think it will be both of us too, unless Emily is house hunting. Do come along and check out the rest of the market too - there's loads of other stalls selling arty things, clothing things, vintage things - plus workshops in photography, live music, all sorts! I think it looks like it'll be really good.

Emily and I will also be mentors (!) at the market. This means you can come up to us and ask us stuff about the crazy world of animation freelance, and we shall attempt to give non-babbly "advice".

Check out the website for details of when, where, and who: The Teenage Market.

In a related note, we've also stocked up our online shop, oh yes!

Live in trees, chew on feet, watch Lost on cable

Some artwork from our new set of Lost postcards, drawn by me and Emily...

We'll be selling the postcard at Leeds this weekend, and hopefully they'll be up on our Folksy shop soon. They are a set of 11, and include Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, John, Ben, Juliet, Charlie, Claire, Rousseau and Hurley. Emily and I love Lost! We've been meaning to do something like this for over a year, and we finally got them done! Hurrah.

Everyday I write the book

This last week, in between animating on the new film, I've been putting together lots of new zines, magnets, flipbooks, and postcards. It's all in preparation for the Leeds Thought Bubble Comic Con, which is where I shall be this Saturday and Sunday. Come and see me! I will be in Saviles Hall near Clarence Dock, which is the smaller of the two halls where there will be in total 300 stalls selling sequential art! Here's a picture from my new flipbook to entice you:

Emily and I are going to do a stall at the Sunday Market sometime in the next couple of months. It's a monthly craft fair at the Islington Mill in Manchester. In the meantime please enjoy this lovely poster:
