Evening chums,
Sorry for the quiet blog as of late chums. I'll just take a quick few minutes from working on the final issue of the Grinning Mask to point you in the direction of a very lovely review of the first three issues at Broken Frontier. Mighty kind words indeed.
As well as Thought Bubble, myself and that Mr Bolton will also be peddling our wares at Volume - a book fair to celebrate the opening of the newly refurbished library in Birmingham. This takes place Friday 6th - Saturday 7th December.
Phew. Don't forget you can buy my loverly comics here.

Sea of Joy
Howdy chums,
Welcome one and all to my official pre-Bristol Expo blogpost. You may be very slightly interested to hear that the Grinning Mask issue 3 has now arrived from the printers and it's looking super-duper. You may also note that I've upped my printing budget and gone with a USA comic book sized format for this issue. Not only has it given me more space on a page to fit in lettering, it's also saved me a great deal of dull time spent hunched over a stapler bundling photocopies together. Can I hear a collective hurrah from the cheap seats?
I have sneaked in a loving homage on the cover and do you know, I'm going to offer a mini competition for the three avid readers of my blog. First to spot it and get in touch 'wins' a piccie commission of their choice drawn by my fair hand. If that doesn't cause a global internet sensation then I don't know what will.
Many thanks to the good people at Pulse Print for their patience, and very speedy turnaround times. Be sure to push your custom their way should you find yourself with a comic to print.
Whilst I'm thanking people, the mighty Forbidden Planet blog ran a mini preview of meself and Mr. Bolton's forthcoming Bristol trip. What splendid human beings they are.
If you happen to be popping by Bristol this coming weekend, I shall be selling the new Grinning Mask comic in bundles with the first two issues. Do feel free to part with your hard earned cash at our table. I shall also have some prints and greetings cards for sale. I do believe that they make the perfect gift for your fair deserving acquaintances.
I'll also be trying my hand at sketches etc over the weekend, and so if there is anything that you'd like to see drawn in a particularly nervous, ham-fisted manner, then do pop by our table in Old Station. (Although I know that most folk like super hero sketches in these situations and so I shall probably already be at a disadvantage in the drawing stakes....)
Hope to see you at the weekend in Bristol then gentle reader.
Your chum,
Ryan.

I love my shirt
What ho gang.
A quickie for you today. The following be a table centre piece that I got asked to do AGES ago for a (similarly obsessed with comics) chum. The table theme was 'Marvel loves Disney', and I got asked to draw a Gene Colan-ish Iron Man trying to woo Tiana from 'The Princess and the Frog'. I figure that as the wedding has now passed, and the happy couple are safely off on their honeymoon, I should be safe to post this.
I'll also sneak in a quick piccie that I've done as part of a children's book pitch for another chum. It's a couple of kids from the book sentenced to a hard dinnertime litter picking. I was quite chuffed with how this one turned out.
AND the Grinning Mask #3 is safely inked. The excitement reaches fever pitch.

Solomon bites the worm
What ho there my gentle reader.
Once again I make my merry way to my oh-so neglected blog to try to make up for the lack of stuff on here. I must blame that pesky twitter thing for this. In this day and age, it often seems easier to hastily post stuff on there leaving this once-mighty blog to quietly weep bitter digital tears to itself.
Still, I return here to happily report that myself and Mr. Bolton have booked an exhibitor table at the (I'm told) splendid Thought Bubble convention in Leeds. This on top of our previously reported table at Bristol Expo in May. Blimey. I may get some tour t-shirts printed up with these two gargantuan dates.
I'm also happy to report that I've now finished pencilling issue 3 of the Grinning Mask. I may well be dooming myself to failure but I should get it ready for Bristol. Form an orderly queue now.....
