ITCH had an excellent weekend and didn’t even need to get out of town this time. The Bristol Small Press Expo happened, alongside the Bristol Comics Expo we all know and love.
Our star of the show was Urban Beasts, which launched at Bristol and will soon be available from the websites and shops. It’s about spirit animals and how our animal instincts drive and define us. The main character is an urban shaman who can interact with people on the animal level. Sounds good? Get a copy soon through the webshop or at our next event, MCM Expo (in only two weeks!)
I had a very good time this weekend, met interesting people and picked up some cool goodies. I now own a Vampire Freestyle mug, a creature by Mmm… Biscuits and two new books from Top Shelf. Me and teenage sidekick Karen Rubins chatted to Genki Gear for a while, and are very excited about their upcoming products. They’re working on more panda and cute-godzilla related wearables. Hurray!
I also met Asia Alfasi, who is working on lots of interesting things, and Bevis Musson, whose clean, cartoony work gets more stylish every year, and who gets away with wearing glitter make-up. Beat that! I can’t link to them though, because they’ve been banned from the internet. I think.
If you missed Bristol, or couldn’t get a ticket, I’m very sorry for you. Hopefully we can meet somewhere else.
See you then!
Edit: bless those Goodmans! They have photos.
And Comic Mole has a write-up.
