So, Will Sliney's new comic book (written by Rob Williams, I think) will be launching at Oliver Plunkett in Cork. Me, Stephen Mooney and Ruth Redmond will be there as a support act, but think of it as a mini con.
It's being organised by Dublin's The Big Bang comic shop, and so we should have, by then, all four issues of Dept Of Monsterology with us. Come get 'em! (I ay even have a couple of hard back numbercrunchers, which appear to have sold out)
I'll be sketching on the day, but to be sure of getting a commission, you'd be better asking me BEFORE the event and I can do it and bring it with me.
Convention sketch pricing:
Prices €20 for pencil (midshot/headshot)
or €35 for water colour (same drawing with watercolour applied to it, they do look pretty...)
(here's one I like http://instagram.com/p/f59TDvxHHl/ here's a Dredd head http://instagram.com/p/e2SV15RHK1/ )
I'd hope to open up commissions this year, but I start Jury service on the monday following this signing and have NO idea what I'll be doing...

I'll definitely be going. It looks like it will be a lot of fun and it will give me a chance to pay a visit to a few friends of mine in Cork.

Won't be able to make it unfortunately.
To any attendees thinking of getting a sketch from PJ- I'd strongly recommend the water colour option!

Hi, I'm afraid deadlines have conspired to stop me getting to cork (deadlines and the fact I start Jury Service on the Monday...)

Does that mean the Dept of Monsterology is going to have a suspiciously high number of courtroom scenes?

Do you count as self-employed? I know in the Republic self-employed people are exempt from jury duty.....

I had a fantastic time at this little con on Saturday. It had a nice, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. With PJ's absence there was nothing 2000ad related, bit I did get a Dredd head sketch from the wonderful Ruth Redmond.

Good to hear Gavin.
Did you go out drinking with the Big Bang, er, gang afterwards?

I unfortunately didn't get a chance, as I had to meet a few friends straight after it. I did enjoy one there at Oliver Plunkett's and a bit of a chat to a few of the guys from the shop while I was waiting for the sketch. But I heard the "Drink and Draw" after the con, was fantastic and was a great laugh too.
