I’ve got a little book arts-y sort of thing in the pipeline that should be making its debut here…

(Planning to be a bit more careful with the craft knife this time round 🩸)
Next stop: #Brighton!

We'll be tabling - alongside lots of #bookarts greats - at Brighton Art Book Fair on December 6th and 7th. See you all there!

(PS We'll keep the #CPFC #zines under the table - tip us the wink if you want one... 😉🦅)

SPARE-TIME DINING-TABLE NO-BUDGET DIY SMALL PRESSES: with the arse falling out of social media, how are you getting your stuff out there?

We're very proud of what we're making, but feel like we're shouting into a void (usually single-digit engagement on here, not much more on IG)

Poor Tom did THIS to his finger while making the usually-very-popular #CroydonSpaceport Historical Maps & Guides last week - and then nobody even bought one at Winchester Comics Fair. 😱

If you'd like to right this terrible wrong, you can grab the #zine for a fiver at bit.ly/croydonspaceport 🚀

Come and see us at Winchester Comics Fair at the Nutshell Centre until 4pm today.

Despite spending much of yesterday in the minor injuries unit after discovering that craft knife injuries and blood thinners don’t mix well, we’re on our way to Winchester Comics Fair (details on poster).

Please come and see us - and lots of other lovely #comics people…

Happy #Halloween!

Here's our former Chief of Staff Sid disguised as a ghost - as well as Sharon-from-EastEnders and Mary Portas - for a project he was working on back in 2011. Yes, really.
