much as i shouldn’t replicate it at every event (the “draw me!” tags are a) in the bin now and b) really just an “alice in wonderland” thing) i sort of want to. Photographs are by the guy who did most of the photographs for most everyone that night, John Wilson, who also did the publicity photos for the “sh!” exhibition last easter.
weeeell, that was a damned good larf!
Last saturday was the uk web and mini comix thing, after which i headed on to white mischief to ply my steampunk-y wares, ably assisted by both Mavis and Alex, and later joined by Hannah.
The presence of the new stall-case-shelf-tm confused me into bringing more stuff than I could carry (ow! damn my own stupidity yes, but nevertheless: ow!), but damn is it lovely.
A quick tea-and-a-bacon-sandwich mission set me up reet fine for Thing and the day was spent amiably nattering with Mal from Fallen angel media and, on realising we’d almost sold all the tea mugs we could have flogged at Mischief, also spent drawing tea-related originals for said same event. Which we then sold at Thing. Which was good but made me rue my somewhat comics-laden load out.

Anyhoo, Mischief was brilliant. The building was beautiful, the set dressing was perfect, the costumes were often stunning, and the other performers and artists were a pleasure. And based on my limited experience of this and Lincoln last year i have to say the average civilian at these events is just very lovely, all making for a delightful night!

Now i could go on about it at length, but we both know i have the next issue of fetishman to draw so i’ll leave it at a) the bbc were recording so there is a ver brief snapshot of my gurning face b) overal the stoof was well received and so I’ve got me horn on to do a big pile more un-historical nonsense c) I”ve spent the last couple of days listening to The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing’s new album and so should you, it cracks me up and will probably be the anthem to issue 11.

i think it’s almost figured, there’s more planning needed but i think this place will become some kind of hub to all things doctor-geof-like.
In the short term all you need know is that the skin two ball was an hoot, and this saturday is another hectic pile of awesome win! And this time in our nations fine capital! (hmmm, sarcasm doesn’t transmit well on the web does it? don’t get me wrong, i do love it, but i think we can safely say that my affection could best be described as ”in a grubby way”)
In the daytime, call it 10 til 5 because that’s what it is, i’ll be at the uk web and mini comix thing pimping teh comics, drawing teh peoples and apparently appearing on a panel. maybe about scifi. woo?

Then, as surely as 8pm follows 5pm, I’ll be setting up at white mischief’s “grand exhibition”, where I’ll be drawerising and roistering in a similar but officially steampunk way!

If you need any more encouragement I’d say that a) i’ve made posters again b) the stall is in the first stages of its marvellous revamp c) issue 11 of fetishman is currently brewing and d) i’ll be fully minion-ed with the mighty Mavis and a bevvy (two! count them! two!) of lovely ladies! Any more questions may be answered by this cunning page of the fetishman site until i get a certain plugin uploaded to this site as well:
