So, with a little help from the unparalleled genius of Will Quick, my webcomic site is up. It's also titled Low Fidelity, not with confusion in mind but rather that I can have a name more than my own associated with my feeble drawings. You can visit the website here. At the moment the comics are only the ones which were previously up on my old combined comic/blog, but there are more on the way soon. The main event, however, is that you can download the first chapter of my fictional comic, Small Town Heroes, as a free e-zine. The best thing about it is you can read it on your iphone or any other smartphone, or one of those e-readers that everyone but me has on the tube.
I'm going to drop these zines gradually. There's a total of five in all, and I'm giving them away free so that people can come to know and love the Small Town Heroes universe before I try and produce something really awesome from it. Currently I'm learning how to draw properly and working bigger and working with adding colour so I can produce a proper rad update of it, but the skeleton is there, and I would love for you to read the skeleton. Have a flick through his bones.
In other news I was overjoyed to discover that London has a comics festival coming up, Comica, and I will most definitely be crashing it whenever I can. There's a whole host of amazing artists attending and rad events going down. My friend Greg, who alerted me to the event, and I are going to the opening this Thursday night at the London Print Studio. Here's the flyer.
I'm also going to shamelessly self-promote and bring some flyers. If you're reading this you already know where the site is but you won't have a super individual drawing of one of the characters from Small Town Heroes delivering a quote what Prince said about how good my comic is. So if you want one of those then come along. I'll have an A6 pad and pen and will draw for you if you like. And go to all of Comica's events. They're offering free lectures on the study of comics too. How totally amazing is that?
Today I got the new record from Bad Books and it's great. They're a super combo of Kevin Devine and the Manchester Orchestra and it's a beautiful, stirring, emotionally articulate record full of warm harmony and carefully crafted climactic points. Buy it.
