Hello all---Well, over a week ago already since LSCC. What a great show it was, sold all the pre-con painted sketches which paid for the rather expensive weekend. Sadly I didn't get to even see any of the major names due to the enormous queues that were a permanent fixture of the show. I was on David Lloyd's ACES WEEKLY table and the sketchcards went like proverbial hotcakes. It was a great idea for people to be able to take away a tangible item (with a free sketch from any creator no less) and get access to the entire contents of ACES WEEKLY vol 1 at the same time. It was great to meet other Aces conspirators Bambos, David Leach, Kev Hopgood and loads more coming and going over the weekend. I've signed up for another ACES stint (or could it be two? one with a named writer attached, stay tuned for more). Our table neighbour was a Belgian creator Ivan Petrus who was promoting his WW1 book The Gathering, a superb read, with a colour sketch in every book. There is a possible project which may bare fruit here also, but more on that later. I had the chance to have a quick chat with Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl) who was not that far away, I bought three of his fantastic prints and picked up my pre-convention commission-----heaven's to betsy, here it is in all its glory. I asked Jeremy if he could produce a Springheeled Jack peice, and just by looking at a few images online, he came up with this jaw-dropper....
