Events for the autumn

Latest news:

November 14,15 & 16th - London 'Hemp Expo' - Brick Lane.
The number one day in the smoker's calender arrives. We'll be down there for all three days displaying artwork, signing copies and chilling out at the coolest London event of them all.

As well as this I'll be continuing to take SV around the country via the comic marts: Sept 27th - Liverpool, Oct 18th Nottingham, Oct 25th Birmingham and Nov 1st Sheffield.

October 3rd & 4th - BICS Comic Festival - Birmingham Will be signing artwork and grabbing copies of Amsterdam Weekend that feature in 'Jim Stewart's Ganjaman Presents', after this copies will be available from the site.

Other things are in the pipeline which can be announced once they reach print.

In the meantime I hope the new site additions introduced by Nooode and 'T' are enjoyed.

all the best

Amsterdam weekend is wrapped.

With the two page special Him & Her's Amsterdam Weekend wrapped I can get back on top of other things. So what's been happening?

Site News: Nooode is now working on the site. Fixing some errors that have come from switching to the bigger hoster and that have resulted in some ilogical on screen typos. As well as this he's busy building the media section to be added, space for the new comics and more shop space which will all be unveiled this weekend.

News on the Golden Orbit 'Censoring' dispute: Promotional differences with organiser Gez Kelly of Golden Orbit are resolved it seems. Gez is now cool with my promoting Smuggling Vacation at Golden Orbit comic mart events. So whilst Manchester and Birmingham have been missed, I will be at the Linear Hotel on Lord Nelson Street, Liverpool on 28thSeptember displaying artwork and signing copies of Smuggling Vacation.

One final thing. Alan Grant will be launching Wasted at Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Avenue on the 27th, between 12 and 2. I'll be there to show support in what's hoped will be much needed and major happening for British Comics.

Cheers for all the support over these previous weeks as it's been a little testing with the negative fallout from some of the media coverage Smuggling Vacation's been getting.

Amsterdam Weekend and site improvements now on the way.

Regards

A Stars and Stripes Special

Last weekend I joined Fesworks and Tanya on America's premiere radio show, The Webcomic Beacon, where we discussed the so called 'Controversy'...

What a week - Crashes and BAN 2?

Hi all,

So the site kept crashing and in the end, unable to top up every eight hours, we've had to change our hoster which was problematic to say the least. In short, for three and a half days - no site.

Problem now solved as we've quadrupled the bandwidth, so back to the news.

The comic ban story rumbles on. Following the signing at Sheffield last Saturday I have been contacted by the organiser who would like me 'NOT' to attend further events as he was disturbed by the below article that appeared in the Sheffield Star the evening before.



For someone in the comic industry to be so sensitive and to subscribe to a ban I find stunning and am hoping the organiser will come to his senses. Should hear off the guy later today.

Am now getting down to drawing 'Him & Her's Amsterdam Weekend' which will be up on the site at the end of the month. This means no signings for the following two weeks whilst I'm at the board, and it may be that following this, the planned signings at the Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool Comic Marts may now be cancelled.

Perhaps there's another way on this.

Keep you posted on what develops.
