EXPO!

Wow! Been a while since I updated eh?

Just wanted to let you guys know what I’ll be up to this weekend…

It’s that time of year again! MCM Expo is going to descend on the Excel Centre in London’s docklands for two and a half days of insanity! I’m really looking forward to it this year, especially because (all being well) I should have copies of the new book Volume 1: A Quiche Too Far for sale for the first time anywhere outside of Indiegogo!

We blew past the $800 target with hours to spare so thanks to each and every one of you that chipped in or helped to spread the word… It’s a great feeling knowing that you guys want this thing to happen as much as I do.

So yeah, come by table I11 in the comicsvillage at the weekend to say hi to me. I’ll have copies of the new book along with all the issues that’ve been published so far including Dead End Friends; the epic small press crossover event which has never been sold outside of Leeds Thought Bubble!

After the show I’ll sort out getting volume one into the shop so you can bag a copy if you’ve missed out so far.

My con season starts tomorrow! Wooooooo!

Hope to see you there!

Stay tuned!

We Need Your Help!

So the deal is this…

The Indiegogo campaign has 21 days left and $480 to raise… HELP! It’s not like there’s nothing in it for you…

A Splodge: $2 (£1.25) gets you PDF’s of two exclusive never-seen-online stories!
“Just gotta stick with it” Discover the secret of the newest supervillain in town: The Gloom and see what it takes for The Mighty Jambo to bring him down!
“Walk the Dinosaur” In this story taken from the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing 2010 anthology, see Cheezar battle a foe that can summon and control prehistoric monsters! Fast as he is, can even Cheezar outrun this stampede?
A Dollop: $10 (£6.30) gets you any issue of The Mighty Jambo so far, signed by the creator and get your name in a special “Thanks” section of the new book to boot!
A Spoonful: $30 (£18) gets you the new book, signed and drawn in by the creator with your name in the “Thanks” section! Done and done!
The Jar: $50 (£31) gets you the entire print run of The Mighty Jambo so far: the new book, with your name in the “Thanks” section as above, and the issues that aren’t contained in the collection. Plus the whole lot’ll be signed and drawn in by the creator!

Also all donations now get an exclusive desktop wallpaper so what’re you waiting for?

Even if you can’t afford to chip in, please spread the word of this campaign everywhere you possibly can. The deadline is rapidly approaching and to be honest I’m crapping myself at this point that I won’t even make half the total we’re aiming for!

I’ll be back with another update soon (hopefully with good news)

Stay tuned!

The Big News!

Posted In: Blog

Ok so this particular news is important enough to warrant it’s own blog post. I know it’s been a bit quiet round here of late and that’s, in part, due to me trying to get a headstart on creating something… Well now’s your change to help me make this thing a reality!

Launching today is the official campaign to fund The Mighty Jambo: Volume 1 at IndieGoGo!

So head over there, have a poke around, if something takes your fancy then by all means throw a few quid in the pot. I’m going to do my best to make this thing beautiful and worthy of your hard earned cash so please do whatever you can to help out… Even if it’s just tweeting or plugging this on your blog.

I warn you now I’ll be plugging this A LOT and I’ll be keeping you up to date on the progress of the campaign.

So please do what you can!

Stay tuned!

And the winner is…

…Superstar!

This reality star has her own hit TV show which gives the public an insight into her celebrity life. However, over exposure has taken it’s toll and recently the public seems to be falling out of love with the super powered party girl. Her agent has suggested she needs a new “hook” to bring back her wayward audience and Superstar thinks capturing the metahuman fugitive Cheezar is exactly what’s needed to get her back in the spotlight… How hard can it be?

Thanks to everyone who voted over on the facebook page to decide that Superstar will be showing up in the next issue. But don’t worry… Bulldog, Frogman, Snakespitter and Venus & Mars are bound to turn up sooner or later!

I’ve got some important news coming up shortly in the blog so stay tuned!

Oh shit it’s 2012!

by Geebie on February 2, 2012 at 1:28 pm

Posted In: Blog

No I don’t believe in that whole “The Mayan’s predicted the world would end in 2012″ thing, I reckon they just thought “that’s a nice round figure to end this calendar on… if we’re still about we can fix it later!”

But anyway that’s not what this post’s supposed to be about… I just wanted to let you guys know what’s going on. I’m not going to whine on and on but some of you who follow my Twitter will know that the second half of 2011 was pretty rough for me and I’ve had a pretty crap start to 2012 if I’m honest. I’ve either been ill or stressed out from the day job; neither of which are ideal for getting any comicking done!

The idea was for me to quietly get on with the next issue while you guys enjoyed the crossover section of Dead End Friends so there wouldn’t be this horrible lull in between issues like there was last year… Of course me actually planning something for once meant that something had to go wrong instead so my tablet laptop died and took everything I’d done in a couple of months with it.

As it stands I have about a third of “Times Like These” written and I’ve started on inking the first page but the main thing I’m working on right now is tweaking “A Quiche Too Far” so I can put it together in a book for you guys to pick up in my new shop. I’ve just had a great weekend in Cornwall with the amazing Beth Walls for our sixth anniversary which has left me feeling refreshed and inspired to get cracking!

So yeah, I guess what I’m saying is bare with me… there’s new stuff on the way and you’re gonna love it, I promise!

Stay tuned!

P.S. Did I mention I have a new shop?!

Chrimbo 24

A Mighty Chrimbo

And here we are on Christmas Eve…

I hope you lot’ve enjoyed this little festive escapade but sadly this particular advent calendar is now devoid of sweets and headed for the skip next to all that wrapping paper you wasted trying to wrap that weird shaped pressie for your auntie.

I’ve really enjoyed doing this, admittedly it got a bit more frantic than I anticipated towards the end there, but it was good fun all in all. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement on this wee project. It’s really got me fired up to start doing the weekly updates again (Just think, I’ve I’d dragged this thing out I could have had a 6 month buffer!)

So Merry Christmas to all of you

The Mighty Jambo will return in 2012 with Waiting for a Superman part 3: Times Like These!

Stay tuned!
