Once again I've teamed up with the lovely folks at the Steampunk Chronicle to send joyous (and not at all brutal) valentines-y greetings to the people you wish to inform of your dubious intentions:

In other news, hi again! It seems to be the way of things that January is a month I intend to do a thousand things and then it ends too soon. Foo. That said I've set the footing for some truly excellent stuff and we're slowly ironing out the running of the online-shop (apologies to anyone who had to wait a bit for orders in mid-January, we had a few plagues here at the Tower (and even a frog!) and as there's only really me and the lovely Cathy we got a bit back-logged) and of course February is the best month of the year (there may be some subjective bias here).

One thing I'm trying to figure out at the moment is how to optimise my time, notably my drawing-stuff time, so I've finally passed my share of the reins to the Leeds Steampunk Market to my co-conspirator Steve. Which incidentally leaves me more time to draw graphics for the LSM so weirdly there'll probably be more of that … anyway, the next one is the second weekend in March so if you're free that weekend and fancy seeing a hearty curation of steampunk awesome (and as ever the tea museum! hurray!) then potter along then!

Anyway, as February is here I'm warming up the stall-o-tron for what looks to be a solid month or two of events:

23rd-24th Feb – London Super Comic Con – http://www.londonsupercomicconvention.com/
1st-3rd March – Scifi Weekender – http://www.scifiweekender.com/
9th-10th March – Leeds Steampunk Market – http://www.leedssteampunkmarket.co.uk/
and then probably:
MCM birmingham
Steampunk Camber Sands
Eastercon

so, if you're about I'll see you guys then!

Hello!

Yes, it has been a while since I molested your faces with pointless wittering (for which I can only apologise excessively and in a way that, whilst not my intention, may sound both passive-aggressive and very sarcastic – "I'm soooooooooooo sorry" – see? clearly there must be some kind of maximum quantity of apology anyone can deliver before they sound like they don't mean it, hmmm, I wonder if it has anything to do with the number of 'o's involved?). Anyway, in truth I actually wanted to be sincere for a second: it's only a couple of years ago that I once again tried to make this "drawing crap I like" thing my full-time career and I'm still really touched that you guys have helped me continue in this ridiculous dream. Cheers! You're very lovely people and I just hope I can repay you in some small way by DRAWING EVEN MORE NONSENSE!

Have a very lovely xmas & new year, I'll see you about with more plans and schemes and nonsense next year!

End of day one at Halifax and the fake-historical portrait is coming on a treat! There's like perspective & everything! We've covered most of the foreground now but if you fancy then join us tomorrow and you too can be immortalised fleeing from a giant battenberg!

Halifax shenanigans, e-cards, and the run up to yule

Hello there!

Yeah, sorry I've been away, there's never enough time is there?  Anyway yeah, so we've been busy as biscuits here at the secret fortress of fetish & tea: comics have been composed and created; events have been attended; embroidered badges with kittens and badgers on have been sold and re-ordered and sold again (because fundamentally I didn't remember that people other than me might like kittens and badgers). Anyhoo, the year is coming to an end so there's a few things I should probably shout out to thee:

Our last event of 2012 is another wonderful outing to Legacy Comics in Halifax. In keeping with tradition it's another outing for our non-existent tea-related fake-military organisation "The First Tea Company", and this time as well as the museum and private urn (and therefore private urns delicious supply of tea) the weekend will see the creation by Geof of the first FTC Un-historial portrait: a large drawing of the FTC that will hopefully incorporate as many people as drop by over the 2 days. Bring cake! and maybe milk if we run out. And probably gloves as that place is cold!
15th – 16th december 2012
Legacy Comics, The Piece Hall, Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK

The trusty head-of-operations-minions Cathy informs me that last post for Xmas in the UK is the 20th december, so if you're in the UK and in need of things for the day itself then I'd urge you to try and order stuff before then. That said we do now have the kitten badges back in stock! woohoo!

And finally the magnificent steampunk chronicle should be running some yule-ous e-cards in the near future
