New Comic Announcement!
Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well!
In the last edition of the newsletter, I had announced that the submissions to BOXES Vol. 5 were open. Since then we’ve had lots of really excellent submissions. The creativity of our comics scene in the UK is second to none!
This of course meant that I had some very difficult decisions to make, but I’m really happy with the line up of creators I’ve ended up with. Everyone’s working away now on their comics and articles, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements on the next issue of BOXES in a few months time.
Now, speaking of comics announcements…
It Comes in Waves by Bruna Martini
I’m excited to announce the next comic from ThirdBear Press, It Comes in Waves by Bruna Martini.
It Comes in Waves is a new 28 page comic in which Bruna explores the relationship between a mother and child and how to be a mother when yours has passed.
It’s coming to Kickstarter in May and you can sign up at the preview page here to get notified just as soon as it’s live.
Here are a couple of pages…
Looks gorgeous right? Bruna renders her comics in a lush, water-colour style that’s really striking.
Much of her recent work concentrates on new motherhood and the relationships between parent and child. If you are interested in hearing her speak on that and her comics work in general, she is doing an online talk at the next LDComics Online Global on Monday 13th April. A couple of days time! You can get your tickets to that event here.
Comics Events
Our comic festival calendar is starting to fill up for the rest of the year. Here are the shows that we are confirmed to be at so far for you to pop in your diary:
MACC-POW, Macclesfield - 27th June
Lakes International Comic Art Festival, Kendall - 3-4th October
Thought Bubble, Harrogate - 14-15th November
There should be a few others to add to the list once they are confirmed! Hopefully we’ll see you at one (or more!) of these shows.
Ok, I think that’s all for now. Remember and sign up to get notified just as soon as It Comes in Waves goes live in Kickstarter!
Thanks,
Steven
