So, if you’ve been paying attention for the past however long it’s been, you’ll have noticed me going on about a secret project collaborating with a friend that I’ve not been talking about explicitly, but the time has come to announce it!
Arthur and Posy is something I can only describe as a big gittery gay fairytale fandango about a boy who’s too pretty to be a boy and a girl who doesn’t want to be a girl. As it says on the cover, it was written by the ever wonderful Ella, who you can find on twitter as @missellabell and who does do writings elsewhere they are spread far and wide, so it’s best to follow her on twitter because when she has written something, she will tell you.
Ella’s script for this issue (and in fact the next issue, I got both scripts at the same time!) is fantastic, and you know what my art for it isn’t awful either. I generally don’t go round saying my art is amazing (generally it isn’t) but I am really proud of it.
It’s 36 colour pages not including the cover, which I’d say for a single issue of a larger comic, is a pretty decent size.
If you’ve not worked out from what I’ve said, it will be a printed comic, and once it is printed it will definitely be up in my webstore (which I am planning on IMPROVING by the time that I’ve got the printed copies (i.e. getting a bigcartel shop or something like that)) and I’ll have it at comic conventions I’m going to! I can’t guarantee it’ll be printed in time for the Bristol Comic and Zine fair on the 25th of September because of complications with me moving to uni but I am HOPING that it’ll be printed and I’ll have it. I will DEFINITELY have it at Thought Bubble in Leeds in November, and assuming things work out, I’ll have it at the MCM Expo in London at the end of October. I didn’t manage to book a table in time initially, but George Beedham of The Mighty Jambo sadly can’t make it and has offered to let me have his table, we’re just trying to get that sorted with the organisers.
Once again, I am really happy with what Ella and I managed to produce here, and when I am holding it in my hands believe me, I will definitely be making a noise about it online! If you’re looking forward to it, it would be amazing of you to spread the news however you like, and obviously it would also be amazing of you to buy a copy from us once it’s out! I’m going to start working on drawing Issue Two sooner rather than later (probably before the end of the month!) So you shouldn’t have to wait toooooooooooooo long to read the next part of the story either, assuming I manage a decent page rate. See you around!
