Ninja Bunny

Yet more awesome fan art, this time by the utterly talented Oliver Lambden of Modern Monstrosity fame. He’s doing a week long series of fan art so be sure to check out his website daily. Not only that you’ll be able to see him and his printed comics of goodness at the 176 event on 27th June…next Saturday…cripes…next Saturday, I need to get re-printing all my comics.

Just a quick note that there was no comic yesterday 19th June (obviously), but I’ll make sure there’s a comic up on Monday, around afternoon-evening time at the latest.

For all you folks out there that have been eyeing up my hand made plushies, you can now get your hands on them over at the store for just £15+shipping.

I’m currently doing a 2 week pre-order on these bunnies just so I can make sure I’ve made enough in time to send them all out. Each one is lovingly hand stitched by my very own hands (a handy skill taught to me as a child by my Brownie-leader mum).

Other great plushies by fellow artists you might want to get your hands on:

• Bunny
• Tomato Selleck
• mmm..biscuits

Charles Woolbright Jr, genius behind The Off Chance webcomic created this stunning piece of fan art.

It’s been a long comic month, with the Zine Symposium, Bristol small press expo and the MCM expo so I think it deserves a nice long blog post.

Last week was the MCM Expo, it was simply massive, HUGE infact and jam packed full of cosplayers.

It’s the first year they’ve had a dedicated small press section and it seemed to go down a storm, a big thanks to Emma and co for sorting it all out. I managed to sell out of a few things and my new Ninja Bunny plushies went really well, I even had to make more on Saturday night to cope with demand.

My fellow small press lovelies, Marc Ellerby and Adam Cadwell.

Oliver Lambden and Jake Harold (selling his new and rather fantastic Justine Tyme).

Howard Hardiman working on his Cute but sad baby-badger with Robin.

Kieron Gillen reading his own Phonogram comic (maybe he forgot what he wrote)

I also got to hang out with Gary Northfield, Sarah McIntyre, John Allison and James Turner.

To while the time away for us stall holders I created some Cosplay Bingo cards, an idea Howard get’s all credit for.

Sims cosplayers

Catwoman and miscellaneous

Mario cosplayers

Grim Fandango (by far the best cosplay outfit)

I also bought Marc Ellerby’s Love the way you Love:side A and he sketched me inside, totally jealous that he did this on the fly without even sketching it out. One day I’ll steal his talent..and maybe his friends. It’s a great read and I suggest you all go out and buy a copy.

Also Jake drew me this Justine Tyme/Ninja Bunny hybrid in the back of his comic.

There’s not much I can say about the Bristol Small Press Expo, it was..very quiet. But on the plus side Howard created Cosplay Bingo to keep us occupied and my lovely girlfriend (mmm…biscuits) was selling her spanking new plushies.

We also discovered Skull Crisp.

The Zine Symposium right at the start of the month went well. Mostly selling my new Reasons Why I’m Scared to Love You, which thanks to the MCM Expo is now totally sold out, I need to get making some more. I shared a stall with Lizz Lunney.

The man behind People I Know gave me a free Tomato Selleck. I love him so!

Pheeew, that’s a long blog, sorry about that. You get a gold star if you read to the end.

Today’s the last chance to vote in the Eagle Awards.

Please vote ‘Ninja Bunny’ in both the Favourite British Black and White Comicbook and Favourite Web-Based Comic categories.

Thanks!

Just a quick reminder that I’ll be attending the MCM Expo this weekend. You’ll be able to find me in the comics village area along with other fine people such as Warren Ellis, Marc Ellerby, John Scrivens and many more.

You’ll also be the first to get your hands on some hand-sewn (yes, really be me) Ninja Bunny plushies that I’ve been making this week.

For you folks on facebook there’s an event page with all the info you need.

There’s only a few days left in the Eagle Awards. I’d really appreciate it you could vote ‘Ninja Bunny’ in both the Favourite British Black and White Comicbook and Favourite Web-Based Comic categories.

Please pass this on to all your friends, and make sure you vote before the end of Friday. Thanks.

I’ve reduced the prices of most of the shop items for all you cash strapped people in this time of recession, so bring some joy to you life with comics or even a Ninja Bunny t-shirt which has been reduced from £20 to £15.

I’ve two fantastic new items in the shop, they’re probably the nicest things I’ve done to date.

Reasons Why I’m Scared to Love you

Reasons Why I’m Scared to Love You is an autobiographical love letter/mini-comic. While not following on from Fools Errand it is another look into my love life and the fear of commitment. Each page is made from different paper, drawn in a variety of styles from comic strip to annotated pages taken from my sketch book and hand-stitched together.

My first printing of this comic has already been snapped up at The Webcomix Thing and the Zine Symposium. Here’s some lovely words from Anna Petterson (of Ellerbisms fame) who picked up the last copy.

“I’m glad I snatched that last one! It is one of the best minis I’ve ever read, I love the composition and the variation of style and paper. Very pretty! (but not in a Sally-Anne glittery type way… pretty in a MAN way!) And of course the purpose. Well done man!”

Don’t worry though, a new batch will be hot off the press this week.

Pack of 6 digital prints

I’ve also a pack of 6 digital mini-prints for sale. Taken from from the of latest webcomic strips and printed on Bristol Board card each print measures approximately 13×13cm.

For bigger pictures take a look at Flickr.

Oh, I forgot to add this to my Thing post (see below for that). Since I didn’t manage to blag myself a copy of the Thing Anthology and I’m sure many of you didn’t either, I thought I’d post up the 2 pages I had in there. The theme was Mars..so I kinda-cheated and went for the song Girl from Mars. This is totally fictional, but I was just lazy so plonked myself in there rather than use my brain power to create someone new. Just click the images for a large version.
