How to find me at C2E2!
I’ll be at C2E2 in Chicago on the 26th-28th of April, so if you’re attending the show, please come along and say hi! I know that a lot of my followers on here and on twitter are in and around the Chicago area, so I’m really hoping to see a lot of familiar faces (and, you know, if your face isn’t familiar to me, let me know who you are!).
You can find me in the Artist Alley at table D7, and the floorplan above shows you exactly where that is. It’s a big show, and I’m only little, so hopefully this’ll help you pinpoint my location!
I’ll have a limited number of copies of Alpha Gods: Emergence, Hypergirl and Hero: 9 to 5 for sale, along with a selection of prints of my art.
Hero: 9 to 5: An Interview with Ian Sharman
Ian Sharman is a writer of comics. Sadly, you’ve probably not heard of his work – wow, don’t I feel like a hipster – but do check out the review of Hero: 9 to 5. Ian also happens to be a member of various fandoms in his own right. This unique persepective made him the PERFECT person for us to interview.
The most obvious question first – what was it that got you interested in entering the comics industry in the first place?
That’s actually pretty difficult to answer as I’ve wanted to work in comics longer than I can remember. Growing up reading Marvel UK books I always got a sense that there were some people somewhere having a lot of fun making these comics. The odd thing is that I’ve now worked with some of those people myself and made them feel very old by telling them that reading their work as a child made me want to write comics myself. My parents bought me a copy of How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way when I was young, and it just seemed like the obvious thing for me to do, really. There was never a time that I can remember when I wasn’t interested in entering the comics industry.
In which I say many things, some of which I may come to regret…

davidwynne replied to your post: Channelling Frank Miller is exhausting…
need a hand?I’m wearing out certain keys…
…it seems to just be…
…w…h…o…r…e…and…s…
Heh…
But, seriously, how does, “The heavens open…the night weeps…her tears cleanse the streets, but the filth remains,” sound?
The scum runs deep through the city’s veins, pumping rage and hate. You’d need a transfusion to be rid of it. I’m not a doctor. (How much fun are you having?)

I’m having lots of fun…sort of blending Miller and Moore and being very, very silly at the same time.
