MCM Expo & Orbital signing.

Tue Sep 22, 2009, 6:43 AM
  • Mood: Peaceful
  • Listening to: A Beautiful Mind
  • Reading: The Richnes of Life
  • Watching: Lucky Star
  • Playing: Hotel Dusk
This is just an early heads up that I'll be around the Avatar Press booth during this October's MCM Expo. This is Avatar's first English appearance, and the booths they put together are always stunning! It should be worth the visit.
Freakangels volume 3 will debut at the con, and more than enough copies of all the different editions of volumes 1 and 2 will be available for those who missed them last time, or have found them hard to get hold of!
A slim paperback artbook that I produced for Avatar will also be available, along with Freakangels prints, t-shirts and other merchandise. I'll be available for signing at the booth more often than not, and Kate, who is currently colouring Freakangels will be popping by too!

On the Tuesday after the convention we'll also be doing a signing at Orbital Comics in London, along with other artists. Info isn't up on the site yet, so I'll update with more details (including who the other artists will be!) when they're known.

Incredible Gallery, i like so much de colors and the perfect draw.
:iconnarciciss:
Yo, saw you today at MCM, bought a T shirt. It's real nice, I'm happy with the buy! I was going to try and have a little chat, but I spent about a million years fumbling with change, so it felt a bit awkward...

...yeeeaaahh.
Maybe next time, eh?

OH MAH GAWD!!
:iconspoonbard:
^_^ Hey, I think I remember since there were only one or two people who came up to buy a t-shirt. I'm always up for a chat at cons, so next time sounds good :D
:iconatomicageethan:
I love your work, Paul. I just got the 1st Freakangels trade and can't say enough good things about it. Lovely work.

:) Thankyou so much! I hope you continue to enjoy Freakangels!
:iconatomicageethan:
I am very much! I've been lurking in the Freakangels archives since yesterday, catching up on all the wonderful story and art work!
I think my favorite character you draw right now is KK and I think my favorite written character is Arkady.
I can't wait to see what happens in the future!
Great job, all around!

I love your work! It's really inspiring. I especially like your Freakangels and your Anne Mercury illustrations!

^__^ Thanks so much!

Wow...everyone is on here. Great work on freakangels!

Dear Spoonbard,

I've been revisiting your gallery and reading over your essay on drawing, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the obvious passion and true enjoyment that art brings to you.

Of course I am inspired by creativity and technical precision that you bring to your work, but more than that I am inspired by the thoughtfulness and the care that every one of your ideas receives. I can tell that each finished piece, from the time it was a tiny little electrical blip at the back of your mind, to the moment that the final brush stroke, or line, was placed on the page, you really love what you are doing. And I find that to be the most striking and long lasting kind of inspiration.

Wow I gushed a little there! ^_^

Well anyways, I hope I didn't freak you out or anything! But everyone should hear that they're appreciated every once in a while yeah?:D

You're new here aren't you?
:iconspoonbard:
Thanks so much! It's lovely to hear that my work gives off that kind of attitude ^___^ *feels a bit fuzzy*
I agree, it's nice to feel appreciated. It's very easy to pretend that attention doesn't matter, but if art doesn't receive attention it can be quite a downer sometimes, for anyone.
On that note, I just had a look through your gallery, and it's lovely stuff ^_^ I especially like the decorative and graphic design elements you use in some pieces.
:iconligeias-ghost:
I'm glad! ^_^

It's nice that there's a place like DeviantArt where artists like me can get exposed to the stuff that you, and all the other great artists here on DA do. And I'm sure you have a lot of pageviews and favorites that tell you that people like your art, but I just wanted to say exactly what it is that inspires me. :D
Well thank you! :blushes:
I really appreciate you taking the time to look at some of my art! It encourages me to keep on improving!

I started reading Freakangels recently and just wanted to say that I thought it was incredible. I hope you enjoy making it half as much as I did reading it.

The Cornish drolls are dead each one,
The fairys from their haunts have gone,
There's scarce a witch in all the land,
The world has grown so learned and grand.
