Glasgow Comic Con – 1 June 2024

StevenLeave a comment

I am doing a lot less events this year, as I am concentrating on new work. I expect I will be doing even less next year as well. Therefore I am pleased to take part in Glasgow Comic Con on 1 June 2024. The event is taking place at The Royal Concert Hall, Killermont Street, Glasgow G2 3NY

I will have no new comics or zines for sale, but this will be the last time in quite a while that I will be selling my comic and zines in person in Glasgow. I plan on doing a lot more comics and zine events in 2026. I had a busy 2022 and 2023 and I want to come back with lots of new stuff.

I will be taking part in Edinburgh Zine Fest 2024 on Sunday 11 February 2024. The event will take place at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. This will be my third time tabling at this zine fest and it is one of the best. I have no new zines on sale, but I will be selling some old ones that I have not had on my table in a few years. I will have copies of my How To Deal With Rejection series . There are 3 issues in total and info on these are below. Edinburgh Zine Fest will be my first event of 2024.

Portfolio Update

I have updated this website with some extra information on my work and a more concise list of exhibitions and events. In the past few years I have been to many Zine Fests and Comic Cons. I have not released any new comics since Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders and I have mostly been concentrating on my animation work. In late 2022 I released the Coming Out Autistic short film and it has gone onto screen in over 40 international film festivals and win the Best Animation Award at the Marvels of Media Awards.

My plan for 2024 is to complete a new film and hopefully put out a zine at the end of the year. I have been working busy, but I will use this blog to post updates on events.

Awkward Silence – Pages from the Comic

StevenLeave a comment

My new comic Awkward Silence is on my Etsy store right now. You can buy the comic here.
Some information on the comic is below along with some images.

Awkward Silence is a personal comic book that looks at quietness and solitude in a loud world. The story follows the creator as they look at how loudness and quietness has affected them and changed how they communicate with other people and their environment. Being mute and not being able to speak has many implications and these are delicately presented in this intimate and experimental comic book memoir.

Awkward Silence is a personal comic book that looks at quietness and solitude in a loud world. The story follows the creator as they look at how loudness and quietness has affected them and changed how they communicate with other people and their environment. Being mute and not being able to speak has many implications and these are delicately presented in this intimate and experimental comic book memoir.

Awkward Silence is personal and expressive and will connect with readers who love zines, comics and outsider art.
Each copy is unique. The cover features hand stitching, where each individual copy has been sewn and hand bound.

Awkward Silence will appeal to people who like zines, perzines, queer zines and comics, graphic memoirs and graphic medicine comics.

  • 32 pages
  • Black and white (mostly)
  • Hand bound and stapled
  • Made with love and honesty.

The comic can be bought here

I am currently part of an online exhibition curated by Shape Arts. All Bound Together is an online collection of artwork by disabled and non-disabled artists.

I have a digital and fully accessible version of my zine ‘Delay’ in the exhibition. You can read and experience it here

As well as reading the zine, you can listen to an audio described version.

I also did an interview with South London Press about the exhibition. You can read this here.
