Cardiff Expo

Had a great time at Cardiff and a sucesseful one with sales, had lots of interest in the titles and now looking forward to Bristol. David, Paul, Liz, Tim and I thank everyone who stopped for a chat and of course bought the books. We will post photos of the event later when we get over the weekend.

CO2

CO2 preview is in and it looks fantastic, it will be available for sale at the Cardiff Expo this weekend so come over to the table and have a look and of course buy it. Baker Street Irregulars issues 0 and 1 will be available also but for the last time, so get in there before they are all sold out. Issue 2 will be ready for the Bristol Expo.

Really looking forward to the weekend and chatting with everyone so please get over to our table and make yourself known.

As I write the preview of CO2 is being sent to the printers.

We shall be launching the book at the Cardiff International Comic Expo (http://www.fantasyevents.org/cicae/index.html) which is happening on the 25^th and 26^th of February. It will be a great weekend, even better than the one last year. I am really looking forward to promoting CO2 why don’t you come to the show and say hello, I'd love the chance to talk to you. Just a word of warning, it is an all ticket event and there will be no tickets available on the door.  The tickets are Selling fast so you’ll have to get your skates on if you want a ticket. This is the second year of the Cardiff show and it is fast becoming the premier comic and small press event in the UK.

The weekend before we'll be at the Exeter Comic Expo, which is on Sunday 19^th February, (http://www.fantasyevents.org/exetercomicexpo/index.html) at the Rougemont Thistle Hotel and it promises to be a good day out. Why not come and join us.

Update

Looking forward to the Cardiff show in Feb to meet up with old pals, make new ones and get to see all the other good works that will be on show. Dave and I will be bringing the BSI issues to date and previews of the other titles in the works, in particular CO2 from the great writings of Paul Tobin with art and design from Dave Morris. I have seen segments and it is excellent. so look out for that at our table. We will be bringing the original art from the books so that people can peruse and if you want to buy any pages or artwork we are up for negotiation. There will be also other bits and pieces of art, pinups posters etc also for sale. We can sign all copies bought. Issue two of BSI will be a little longer now in being published, as I have mentioned in a previous posting we want to make each issue better that the previous one in every department and we agreed that the second issue needed reworked in some areas. We are aiming for the Bristol Expo in May to launch the series again.

There is a link to Paul's blog on the links section so please check it out.

So please even if you don't buy anything please come over for a chat and a laugh. as much as it is about business it is also about having a great time.

Sneek peek at what's ahead let me know what you think

BSI 2 progress

The idea of putting a book together and try to sell to the general public is a daunting thing . The technical side involving the cover, interior art design, lettering and deadlines all bring about  different stresses. This BSI issue has been no different. With Dave doing the lion's share of the work to get the book finished to a high quality and on time has been a greater chore for him than we had in mind at the start when we set about getting this issue finished. If i didn't believe in conspiracy theories before this I do now, everything that could have went wrong did. However with great deal of gnashing of teeth and sacrificing a few anaimals Dave was able to pull the rabbit out of tha hat to get the second issue ready for Cardiff. Dave has a holiday planned for the new year and he thoroughly deserves the break.

We have agreed to shorten this BSI storyline in issues and will collect them for 2013, there will then be a special and then a second story line.

All the other titles planned through Corvus Press will filter out over the coming year. Look out for further info on the blog and facebook in the coming weeks and months. They are all looking really great. It remains our plan to publish a wide range of titles with a wide range of talent. Each book will have their own identity. They will be a mixture of comic book art and text with illustrations.

We have links to the other people involved on the blog page so please visit their sites.

I will upload the cover for BSI 2 when it is finished and will show the process of scrpt to final page. We are confident that this issue will be as succesful as the first.
