2 weeks of photos and clips crammed into 3 minutes so it all goes by too quickly, just like all holidays do. This could have been edited much better if I wasn't using Windows Movie Maker but that's all I have right now. I'll upload a bunch of the photos soon.

Apologies to anyone who I didn't get a photo of to include in this, it doesn't mean I have forgotten you already. Thanks to those who sent me their photos too. If you have some of me/us please still send them, I still want to see them all :D

Hello,

This is just a brief entry to say that I am back from my holiday in New York and the MoCCA Art Festival. I had an amazing time over there of course. I'll be uploading my photos as soon as I get the chance (I'm back at work today and already pretty busy) and writing a full report on the MoCCA show, but to satisfy any curiosity you may have here are a few highlights from my time there:

MoCCA as a whole, and meeting lots of great artists
Michel Gondry drawing a picture of me
Randomly having a drink with Cameron Stewart
Seeing Kristen Schaal perform live
Drinking the night away with Stacey on the top of a swanky 32 storey apartment building lying on sun loungers
Talking with a drunk Paul Pope
Watching a 2 hour tropical storm from Shea Stadium
and
spending lots of time with Nikki Cook, especially eating Italian ice cream at night on a stoop in Brooklyn

New York was great and I can't really convey how much fun I had there and how impressive it was, all I can say is that I was sad to leave from the moment I got into the yellow cab that took me to the airport.

More soon,

Adam.

I will be exhibiting at the MoCCA Art Festival in New York City on the 7th and 8th of June. I will be sharing a table with the gracious Dan Boyd. I will have copies of The Everyday Collection One, minicomics 8-11, brand new Little Adam badges and a special edition of my Johnny Cash comic.


I CANNOT WAIT for my first American comic show and to meet any readers I might have over there. Click the poster above for more info about the event. I am also VERY EXCITED to be in the same room as these awesome people:

   Dean Trippe!
   Jess Fink!
   Bryan Lee O'Malley & Hope Larson!!
   Cameron Stewart!
   Pedro Camargo! (Glam!)
   Becky Cloonan & Vasilis Lolos!! (if they can make it)
   Molly Crabapple! (she invented Dr. Sketchy's)
   Mike Dawson & Alex Robinson!!
   Alec Longstreth!
   Rick Spears!
   Ryan North! (Dinosaur Comics)
   and lots more probably!

and there will be panel discussions with:

   Art Spiegelman, Brian Wood and Chip Kidd!!!

It's kind of blowing my mind that all these people are going to be there and I get to go too. I will be in NY for TWO WHOLE WEEKS from the 1st to the 16th exploring the city and getting drunk with Nikki Cook. If anyone else is around during that time I'd be happy to meet up. Also, if you live in or have been to NY and have any suggestions for where I should visit I AM ALL EARS.

See you over there!

I mentioned Sofia Falkenhem in my Bristol Report, well, I was looking through her blog, full of great work and sketches, and came across this little guy (or possibly girl):

I've just uploaded some inked drawings of ladies in various states of undress to my Flickr account. They are all from my dayjob as a Visualiser. Click the sultry madam below to see the rest.

This weekend I shall be exhibiting at the Bristol International Comic Expo on the Manchester Comix Collective tables. I will have plenty of copies of The Everyday Collection One as well as Everyday minicomics #8,9,10 and just in time for the show #11, which like 10 is double length. Here's the possibly familiar cover:
