Threes, the mini-comic Maeve Clancy, Cliodhna Lyons and myself did for this years conventions is now out of print for ever (see the cover here). You can read my contribution online here.

Narman the Narwhal

Tipple Dance

Good oul Mindpuss sent me this note along with a copy of his excellent bumper compilation 'Complete Tales from Mugland' a while back. Definitely a 'Blackshapes Recommended' - purchase from here.

Summer Edition 2010

It's happening again - the Artist's book, Comic and Zine fair I help organise, that is. All day, Saturday 24th July in Filmbase, Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin. Everyones going to be there - you should come. More here.

Here's the back of the flyer (Front in the right hand column):


And the comic from last year's while I'm at it:

Rí-Rá agus Ruaille Ruaille

Rí-Rá is an Irish language comic primarily aimed at the kids in which I've done a 'Nicol Og' strip for a couple of issues now. Nicol Og or 'Young Nicola' is actually the same character from the 'Touched' strips that appear on the blog occasionally. Rí-Rá is a top class little package - well worth a gawk whether Gaelic lingo enabled or not.

gentle hulk

2D festival last weekend was a very good ol buzz all in all. I even managed to inveigle some more original artwork out of Luke F in the form of this here Hulk (see first bit here). In the spirit of the festival he was dashing off sketches at a rate of knots. This lad is an easy bet for future comic super stardom. Pure class.

Threes

Cliodhna Lyons, Maeve Clancy and myself put together an A6 mini to shill around the various cons and fairs this summer - next stop Derry 2D on the June 6th closely followed by the Point Village Market on June 12th. The cover design features an overlaid drawing by each of us while the content stories (without much previous consultation) are serendipitously unified.

2D Gallery Appearance and New Book

As a bit of a precursor to this year's 2D comics festival in Derry from 3rd - 5th June there is an exhibition of Irish Comic Art in the Void Gallery till the 4th June at which I have a couple of pieces. More details on the flyer:

I'll be at the festival on Saturday 5th June at which there should (hopefully) be the launch of 'The Human in Me', a 60 page collection of my short strips. There are over 20 pages of new material and any stories that have appeared before are out of print so if you missed Matter #11, Matter #9, Matter #3 or Lint - the cream of which is herein.

P.S. It'll be up for sale on the website very soon.
