Oh my glob jessica!
errr because of the handwriting thing I scan a rough. letter it digitally then trace the printed thing to get the final page.
1 of 3 baking pages. Lumpy Space Princess Perzine
I know the hand writing is tiny but I have done a test print.I wanted it to look bubblier than my writing, like some of the people at work. but I’m not very good at that so it didn’t really turn out how I wanted. oh well. I like the full stops <3
I don’t want to make a profit from a fan zine. the paper and paint markers divided by 40 is actually only 45p so I’ll round it to 50p to account for use of printer ink. errr taking them to MCM in london next weekend
err yeah, that is if I manage to finish in time. I’m a bit disappointed that I’m only on the first page. but it took a long time to get the lettering right. now the other 6 pages should be easier. I’m excited to write the music section. you know me and music zines.
The loooong awaited Blood Blokes #3 is released TODAY after a successful debut at Toronto Comic Arts Festival last weekend.
The latest issue of Adam Cadwell’s slacker vampire comedy is now available in both print and digital editions from the Great Beast store.
Issue 3 features 26 pages of story and back-up illustrations by Tula Lotay, Josceline Fenton, Priscilla Tramontano and Sammy Borras.

Stock Count …
Alien Rendez-vous - 1
Beyond Fantasy - 1
Jumping The Shark - 5
Smoothie Wars - 9
Best Day Ever - 18
All available from Etsy … until they’re gone.
I’m still dithering about whether to print 10 more JTS comics to even out the stock. I’m definitely not printing any more BDE. The comics are just too old.
Hello! Massive thank you to all those who visited the table for chatting and purchases over the weekend! We had a great time at Bristol Comics Expo!
Photo reading: Tuk Tuk by Will Kirkby - it’s ace!
Treebeard has struggled getting work in Hollywood despite his role in LOTR. We got him a temp job being sandwich board guy. (really what happened is that I forgot to pack a extra stand, but did remember to bring a Treebeard action figure to hang out with)
We have 1 copy left of Alien Rendez-vous and Beyond Fantasy. They’re both listed on my Etsy.
Thanks again! See you at London MCM Expo and Manchester MCM Expo!!

Hello hello! This is Sarahwoolf, with some photos of the latest zine, and the first in the new Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter schedule. So far we’ve taken this to Bristol Expo, and had good sales and a lot of positive feedback, so we’re very pleased with how it turned out. We also sold out of issue 2!
In this issue we have a new Lesbian Heroes feature by Lilywoolf, looking at the life and work of British artist, Joan Eardley. Some lovely spring-themed (and not so spring-themed) illustrations from myself, Clem Tarrant, Gem Sheldrake and Kasia Kawczynski, a new Sewing Sans Pattern showing how to make the Spoils Bag from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a cute 2-page comic from Meg Guindon, a new Stale Symphony from Sammy Borras, and an article about giving up lying for Lent! Can one even function in society while being all honest, all the time?
We also got a great response to Poppet’s call for questions, she was spoilt for choice! She already answered one here on the Woolfblog, but there’s more in the zine as usual.
Thank you to all the contributors, we’re looking forward to the next issue!
This issue is also available in the shop.
Yo! My comic is in this zine. You can get it online … or I’ll probably be sat next to it at London MCM and Manchester MCM.
Hello! This is our final preview page from the anthology written and illustrated by Sammy Borras. Music Wars is a new short story comic following Ted and Tim. Their latest challange is a local battle of the bands competition.
Don’t forget we’ll be at Bristol Comics Expo tomorrow! I’ve packed the comics ready to go! This afternoon I’ll try and get a blog post listing what we’ll be taking and information about free mini comics!
Thanks

It’s probably easier to read the full comic over on smackjeeves
Happy free comic book day!
I know the event is about getting new readers and people into comic book shops to support the industry - there’s probably an event in your local area so go have a look!
(probably talking to the converted but whatever XD)
- but it did feel like a good excuse to get this story out somewhere. It was a comic that took a lot of work and no one has been able to read it for a couple of months after finishing. no point in making comics if no one can read them?

Sorry about the image quality on the video. it was the best I could do and I spent too long not to post it when I finished.
MANTIS SHRIMP !!
A couple of months ago I wanted to design some badges featuring mantis shrimp … along the lines of ‘BEST COLOUR VISION KNOWN TO MAN’ as the tag .. but I was busy drawing comic after comic.
I do actually have ideas for mantis shrimp mini comics (short stories?) … and they’re more than just ‘MANTIS SHRIMP SMASH!’ (but there will probably be some smashing anyway … because if there’s no smashing there’s no point in mantis shrimp being the main character … other than drawing something really difficult in every panel?)
