Obviously it’s not just nature that abhors a vacuum. Seems our comic creating community feels the same way about a regular London comic stall event. And since Oli, Oliver and Sean stopped running the London Underground Camden stall regularly there’s been something missing in London. Well, not anymore:
Matt, Julia and Sarah of the We Are Words + Pictures comic collective have details of the first in their planned market stall events. From their website:
We Are Words + Pictures is transforming.
At the end of September we will be hosting a market stall, exhibiting artwork, ‘zines and comics by a host of familiar and unfamiliar names, hoping to reach out to the record-buying, curry-eating, vintage-shopping public. Our emphasis will be on works that make the most of their printed, physical form, publications that simply wouldn’t be the same if they were hosted online. If it’s successful then it will be the first in a long line of such stalls popping-up outside of small-press fairs, presenting brand new work to a brand new audience at established markets, music festivals, village fairs and schools. We’re looking for new work and ‘zines to sell and exhibit, so please check out the Submissions section for details.
The first stall date is Sunday 27th September in Brick Lane’s new Tea Rooms market. Details to come. Fingers crossed it’s as good, as positive and as successful as LUC’s Camden stall.
