Nottingham Comic Con poster art
I was privileged to be asked to draw the poster for this year's Nottingham Comic Con. It appears to have gone live now, so I'm sharing it here as well. There's a fully texted-up version here with date and venue information. Keep October 14th free!

McGonagall Updated
Page 8 is up today at ZCO.MX. It's only a page a week at the moment while I work on other stuff, but I hope to pick up the pace in a few months. Thanks for hanging in there.

The Great McGonagall
It's been a while coming, but today I'm starting a new web comic, The Great McGonagall, about a (somewhat fictionalised) journey from Dundee to London made in 1880 by William "Topaz" McGonagall, the worst poet in the world (more about him here and here, if you're not already familiar with him – or else read the short introductory piece in my comic, which should get you up to speed pretty quickly). I'll be posting a page every week at ZCO.MX.
McGonagall is a fascinating figure, despite (or perhaps because of) his total absence of talent. I've been thinking about doing a comic about him for some time, as his "theatrical loser" persona ticks a lot of boxes for me. Should be fun.

Here are some more sketches from some recently-mailed copies of The Iron Duchess – and thank you to the little flurry of people who recently ordered the book; I'm most grateful.

Le Roquet Mysterieux
This was drawn for my friend Brad Brooks' 50th birthday and presented to him last night in what I can only describe as an ambush. (De-baffler: Le Roquet was a comics anthology we both worked on back in the day along with several other cartoonists, and the dog was kind of its mascot.)
