Sketches from the Thought Bubble

Thought Bubble 2012

With my fellow comrade Edward Ross, the author of Flimish Series, a friend from Edinburgh League of Comics  I joined the Thought Bubble 2012 in Leeds during 16-18 November.

This is the biggest event for the small press field in the UK scene.It's still small compared to the ones in France and Japan but  I was surprised how comic books and graphic novels are gradually recoganised in the UK.It was unthinkable when I was in art colleges 10-15 years ago. I quickly made a small 16page booklet for the event and sold quite well.Good result for the first comer.

The third and forth episode to follow in which I talk about 2011's tsunami, earthquake and nuclear accident in Japan.I am very grateful for the editor who gave me the opportunity and I am getting more and more interested in comic strips which take on the current issues/actual events.
