Fetishman

london thing on the 14th! dear god i hope someone other than me turns up as i’m starting to suspect that no sensible being will be able to make it …

… i think some kind of contingency plan whereby i get hideously drunk could be in order …

new comic

also, the colour prints look nice, the b&w less so.

one and all, i have a favour to ask thee. its rewards are meagre (my eternal gratitude, a warm glow of satisfaction, the possibility of being offered tea if you stand still for too long in my presence, the usual) but nonetheless i implore thee to aid me in my quest.

i have an exhibition of comic-y fetishman art in london at this second and i would dearly like it if a veritable sea of humanity could descend upon the venue. I have but a month, but i also have you. All you need do is:

POST THIS IMAGE FAR AND WIDE
if you do not know how then the following text should be the win -

kind regards,
gf

egad i’m tardy …

wholly forgot to mention that i’ll be at the birmingham comics show this weekend? me, a minion (will, who will be pretending to be me if i’m off getting tea), a stall and a 2ft tall cut-out fetishman. and a lot of other people selling comics.

i need guns. lots of guns.

also … i made some actual flyers for the exhibition, but seeing as i’m based in leeds they’re a bit limited in their usefulness. Hence, if anyone in/near london can pop some into shops/clubs/other and that i’d be mighty grateful. email me an address at contactgeof @ suspectpackage.org (with the subject line “death to the french!” or anything else that means it won’t look like spam)and i’ll pop some in the post.

someone made me look at this webcomic. it’s not geek, it’s just tech/science-literate and it’s mighty:

etc.
i’ll be doing no work today then

also – london tomorrow. perhaps i should draw more nekkid ladies as a kind of warm up?

merry seasonal so-forths one and all!

i am, it turns out, terribly terribly chipper at the moment. yay! following on from the birmingham comics convention …

( 2 days in “the custard factory”, ably assisted by the young-but-so-hairy Will. we made enough wongah back to cover the stall cost, which was a delightful bonus. This could well be attributed to the prestigious quantities of biscuits we distributed and Will’s talent for making people buy stuff. much to our surprise we also met many entirely sane and socially capable comics people! and we also found Will a wife (she manages a comic shop). having successfully managed to meet up with tim & jen at scruffy murphy’s i do believe the overal result should be recorded as: fetishman empire(1) rebel alliance (0).)

… and thursday’s excursion to london to “make an appearance” at my art exhibition at coffee cake & kink…

( with too short a notice for me to truly rally the armies of darkness it was a quiet affair, made quieter by my failing to notice that the cafe shuts at 8 and i’d been thinking that 6 or 7 was a good time to arrive. poop. after some leet driving skills from the doesn’t-he-look-a-bit-russian Will i rolled up about half 6 and Will, alone in a car in an unfamiliar-city-that-his-father-had-warned-him-about, surprisingly managed to find parking space and ~not~ get gang-raped to death. i met a couple of charming strangers, one of whom hadn’t been threatened into attending by friends of mine, but generally it was just me and Will and Bob-nah and Kristin and my brother-in-law David, and briefly Carl. Thus food was had, and then booze. and then, according to the ancient rite of “boule-o’clock”, midnight boule was played on shepherd’s bush green. The car journey back from london was a special kind of hell, but on re-examination it has been roundly agreed that it must have all been a bad dream: creative history (1) traffic jams (0))

… i seem to be a strange hybrid of stressed and happy. utterly utterly bizarre.

an xmas-esque cartoon awaits the unwary here!

also, i’ve just signed up for the uk wbe & mini comix thing in london this coming march (17th).

have much mulled wine and joy,
