Hello. Here’s some of my colleagues having a business discussion. What are they discussing? The next My Cardboard Life book!
I’m going to start working on My Cardboard Life book 2 quite soon. The plan is to make it just like the first book, with loads of comics from the archive plus bonus material.
If you’ve got any suggestions for the second book, particularly along the lines of what you’d like to see in the bonus material section, let me know. You can comment or email me at mycardboardlife (at) gmail dot com.
Story news…
Lots of people have asked me “are you going to do another long story like St Colin and the Dragon?”. The answer is “yeah, I think I am!”. Looking at the story-preview images again, I’m tempted to do “Recyclost” as a long story. I’d like to do “Cubz” too (it was second most popular in the vote). Either way I’m going to start writing it soon and you’ll be able to read it some time in the summer!
TCAF is this weekend! Here’s a photo of some of the things I’ll have with me.
If you live in or near Toronto you should come along. TCAF takes place at the Toronto Reference Library on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of May and it’s free to get in. I’ll be on the second floor. I’m going to bring my paper and glue as well so if you want a little collage made I can do that. See you there!
Here I am taking part in the drawing parade at Comiket last weekend! (photo taken by Sarah McIntyre). If you came to see me then thanks. If you missed out, I’ve made a time-lapse video just for you so you can watch me doing some collage. ***Spoilers*** none of my fingers get cut off by the scalpel.
And this is what the finished picture looks like.
This Saturday (21st April) I’ll be at Comiket, the independent comics fair in London. If you’re around you should come along too! It’s at Bishopsgate Institute close to Liverpool Street station and it’s free to get in. I’m going to have copies of St Colin and the Dragon with me plus a bunch of other things.
Also, I’m part of the “drawing parade” which means I’m going to be drawing for half an hour and it gets projected onto a big screen. Actually I’m not going to be drawing I’m going to be doing a collage. If you want to know the rest of the drawing parade line-up and more details, have a look on the Comica website.
A beautiful piece of fan art from Lochlainn Kelly.
Here’s a Dr Bandaid comic from Gary B. I think Pauline’s look of horror there is the same look I would do in that situation.
And here’s the final guest comic from Neal (Neally) Morrison who does a webomic called Dumb as a Mug. I love the sneaking bit!
So That’s the end of the guest comic party week. I hope you had a nice time. Thank you so much to everyone who took part! And also thank you to all the readers and well-wishers. The 701st My Cardboard Life comic will appear on Monday!
