Diorama Time – help me choose!

I’m going to make a new diorama in time for Thought Bubble on the 17th November.

I’ve made a poll on the facebook page, you can vote in it here . If you’re not a ‘fan’ on facebook yet, here’s the link to the My Cardboard Life facebook page. If you don’t want to do any of that, you’re welcome to express your opinion right here. These are the diorama options to choose from:

1: bonfire night
2: band practice
3: making a cake
4: board game party
5: St Colin and the Dragon
6: Recyclost*

You might not get to see the finished diorama in person if you’re not coming to Thought Bubble, but I promise there will be lots of pictures!

*The Recyclost book will be available before Christmas, but it probably won’t be available at Thought Bubble.

Recyclost wallpapers and Clopsy models

The Recyclost book is on it’s way. This is going to be the front and back covers. It’s not time for the pre-order yet but if you like, you can have a wallpaper for your desktop or phone

Fullscreen

Widescreen

phone

Hopefully those are big enough for any size screen you might have.

One more picture I want to show you…

I’ve made some models of Clopsy the horse. I’m going to have these for sale at Birmingham Zine Festival next weekend (13th October). Also whilst at Birmingham Zine Festival I’m going to be on one of the “Make it Then Tell Everybody” panels, so come to Birmingham and see me and my Clopsys.

Recyclost Completed

Recyclost finished last week, so if you want to read it as a full completed story you can start from the beginning here.

I’m putting together a book version now which should be available for pre-ordering some time in October. The original plan was for it to be in exactly the same format as St Colin and the Dragon, but when I actually wrote it, it was almost twice as long so I’m going to do something different. There will still be a bonus comic strip at the back though, I promise!

Additional news:

As well as Recyclost I’ve also been working on another comic called Looking Out, which is also a Science Fiction story but in every other way it’s totally different to Recyclost (it’s all actual drawings, no collage!) You can see some preview pages of it here on my portfolio site if you’re interested. It’s being published by Hic and Hoc in November.

The next comics show I’m going to be at Birmingham Zine Festival on 13th October. If you can get to Birmingham that weekend you should come along. It’s going to be really good!

I’m not going to be at SPX next weekend (I wish I was, but maybe next year?!) but if you are going, look out for my comics at the Hic and Hoc table.

That’s all the news (for now). There’s no comics this week because I’ve been catching up on other tasks but I’ll be returning to normal updates on 17th September.

Recyclost

Recyclost is ready to go. It’s going to be another long story like St Colin and the Dragon and it starts on Monday! I have enjoyed writing it, and now that I’ve started actually making the pages I can tell you that (spoilers) it’s going to feature lots of little pieces of paper.

Other news…

The next comic show I’ll be exhibiting at is Manchester MCM on 21st July. Maybe I’ll see you there?

I was pretty excited when St Colin and the Dragon got reviewed on Boing Boing last week!

I’ve been doing artwork for GameCity, the videogames culture festival in Nottingham. If you’re into games it definitely worth a trip to Nottingham to come to that in October! Also, whether you come to the festival or not you can nominate your favourite game of the last year to be considered for the GameCity prize 2012.

That’s all my news right now! But also I want to say that I frequently get emails from people who want to ask questions about comics, or collage or My Cardboard Life or other things. Do keep emailing me – I enjoy it! But if you have a question that you think other people might also be interested in knowing the answer to… ask me on Tumblr.
