~Apologia~
This weekend just gone was the annual Bristol International Comics & Small Press Expo. This blog was originally written and was supposed to have been posted on Thursday last week but unfortunately Blogger went down for two days for maintenance which somehow deleted the two blogs I'd already posted (the Mike Battle one and the Spandex one) and blocked this one from going online. Apologies to all the creators below who I bugged all week for info on what they were bringing to BICSPE and, while the original point of this blog is now invalid I strongly recommend everyone click all the links below and buy the comics and merchandise from their respective online shops and have a little Small Press Comics Festival of your own!
*****
Jennie Gyllblad - will hopefully have copies of her first minicomic (which she is assembling as we speak) I've had a sneak peek and its fab! I'll be taking commissions and promoting Bayou Arcana (And Skal) I'll be sharing a table with Corey Brotherson on the Saturday where I'll have my portfolio for people to flick through if they want. Will also have business cards that people can pick up.
Bevis Musson - Dead Queen Detectives 1 & 2. Still got a few copies of Finland, Finland, Finland too which raise money for charity. Plus more than happy to do drawing for money too (or booze. Or food. All are good).
'Disco' Daniel Clifford - A range of all-ages comics. Lily and Danel is especially good for under 10s. A4 Comics presents... is esp good for 10-14. And Sugar Glider books are great for 14 up. Badges on sale too and free stickers for people taking advantage of combo deals. Plus, panel!
