LSCC.....OMG.....etc.....

 
With the London Super Comic Con just around the corner - here's a peek at what I will have at my table during the weekend.
 
 
As mentioned in the earlier post - The Grinning Man is an A4 sized, 24-page comic book ghost story about a young boy's journey through his own memory; and his mysterious encounter with the enigmatic 'grinning' man. But as the memory unfolds and the truth becomes darker - the boy is forced to realise that nothing is ever as it seems...
 
 
 
Also available will be an A5 sized Fan Book:
 
 
 Mike Read Has Beautiful Breath is a 24-page collection of my illustrations deriving from popular culture. (There's a double pop culture reference in the title - brownie points to those who spot its origin/s.)

 
 
 
It collects various images of my various fandoms, past and present, blogged and unblogged. Through Film/TV, comics, cartoons, and video games. It also has a sketchbook section containing doodles and sketches showing the inner workings of some of the larger pieces. From Adventure Time to Zombies, and everything inbetween.

 
 
 
 
 
I will also be bringing along this little fella...
 
 
 
As well as shoes I have been painting on t-shirts, and the little Mite from Ni No Kuni and others will be available at my table throughout the weekend. SO, if you're looking for 30 seconds to kill whilst you chew on a falafel or whatever - why not come visit me? I'll most probably be the one scowling or snoozing in a corner somewhere...or perhaps I'll be the one waving at you frantically like a mad person. Who knows?

Entertainment Media Show 2012


Well - what a weekend! After having only a short week to prepare, I think it went surprisingly well. Those of you who merrily gandered through what can only be described as a 'working' mess of prints, booklets and general arty stuffs and picked up any of my 100+ FREE (No, really they ARE free, believe me) sketch cards produced at my table throughout most of the weekend- thank you and enjoy.

Ofcourse a BIG thank you to all who purchased prints, booklets, original artwork, etc. and I hope to see you soon at future events.

Here's a selection of what was on offer:

Adventure Time Print - A4 on 100% cotton stock

Batman Print - A4 on 100% cotton stock

Universal Horror Booklet - A4, 16 pages - Booklet containing all 7 illustrations from my previous post 'Horror on a Universal Scale' plus new artwork of the classic monsters.


Page from the above booklet of one of the new illustrations.


The premium eye-candy at my table (so it seemed) - Adventure Time hand painted shoes! Yup, for realisies. Unfortunately this pair is not for sale, as they were for display purposes only. Commissions are accepted though, those wishing to enquire need only contact me through the email address on the right.

Same shoes. Different angle. Mad poo brains.
 
Yet more Adventure Time (pssh anyone would think this is POPULAR or something!) this time a customised notebook with drawings on the front and back covers...
  
...and on the front page.

Another customised notebook, this time Batman themed. This is the illustration over the two covers...
 
...and on the centre spread.
