A little Comiket roundup…. problem mentioned, problem solved….

Saturday, April 28, 2012

Last weekend was Comica Comiket, and it looks and sounds like it was a good convention/event, with good crowds, and sales, for those involved. Or at least that was the mood I picked up off twitter this week. Not without its faults though…. more on those in a minute. Plus some wonderfully immediate and fair responses [...]

One of our very faves, Sarah McIntyre, was at Comiket last weekend and has turned in one of her by now traditional great blog reports on the gig, loaded with art and photographs (including the one above we shamelessly borrowed with organisers Megan O’Donnolley and Paul Gravett escorting Woodrow Phoenix to the Loudest Shirt Parade [...]

Sarah McIntyre has been off on her travels to Belgium and the Netherlands, and of course she took some time to explore some lovely bookstores and pick up a fine haul of French language comics and children’s illustrated books.

Where have all the book illustrators gone? Open your bloody eyes…

The original piece in the Independent by Melanie Macdonagh was published back in January, and I meant to write something on it then, but it rather got away from me. Basically Macdonagh’s contention is that there just aren’t many good illustrators anymore. Which, is patently, as anyone who knows anything about comics and children’s books [...]

Sarah McIntyre, along with Emma Vieceli, headed off last weekend to France for the Paris Manga and Sci-Fi Show – naturally Vern and Lettuce had to go along with them (and thankfully French chefs didn’t see them as ingredients for dinner!). As well as more of the cool Vern and Lettuce special strip about the [...]

Regular fave with the blog crew Sarah McIntyre was at Monday’s Comica event with the brilliant Craig Thompson in London; she has a report on it with photos up on her blog and, Sarah being Sarah, she, of course, sketched a bit of the evening too and posted the rather lovely results up:

New to The Phoenix – McIntyre & Reeve…..

When The Phoenix comic was announced, Molly had one question – “is Sarah in it?”. And it seemed weird that Sarah McIntyre wasn’t part of the comic to be honest. After all, it was in The DFC, with her brilliant  Vern & Lettuce, that she first showed us how good a comic-er she was, and [...]

The David Fickling blog has a lovely bit from Sarah McIntyre on her contribution to the recently published Nelson graphic novel from Blank Slate Books.

I love this – the talented @deadlyknitshade – who has previously terrorised London’s Natural History Museum with her huge crocheted squid – with a knitted version of Nel from Blank Slate Books’ fabulous Nelson graphic novel. Pic by the sparkly Sarah McIntyre, snapped at the Cartoon Museum’s Nelson art show. Now we want them to [...]
