This is Where it's Art

I'm very pleased to be taking part in the This is Where it's Art festival in Spennymoor this weekend, where i'll be sharing a stall with Brittany Coxon, who designed their website and whose new website design has just been launched.



Issue 1 - Boltzmann's Eye

I'll be there selling comics and art on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and this festival should (printers willing) be the first outing of the fourth printing of Issue 1 : Boltzmann's Eye - which is the first to be printed in full colour and feature a backup story and artwork to bring it up to the same page count as issues 2 and 3.



Sunday!

Sunday is going to be a very comics themed day: Daniel Clifford and Lee Robinson will be running a programme of comic themed events all day as Art Heroes - details of their workshop can be found on the Art Heroes Blog.

12 - 1pm - "Comics: words + pictures where time = space"

From 12 - 1pm the same day, I'll be doing a talk on the topic of comics and sequential art storytelling.

Aimed at artists and writers looking to make comics, or jest folk who want to spend an hour thinking more about their comics, I'll be talking about some of the comics storytelling techniques i've learned as I've been making comics.

Note that this is aimed at an audience from teenagers upwards.
