Cardiff Independent Comic Expo - 2nd June 2018

Having just recovered from Portsmouth Comic Con, it's all hands on deck to prepare for Cardiff Independent Comic Expo (CICE) on the 2nd June 2018. If you've not heard of this convention, CICE was founded in 2011 and describes itself as a "family friendly, one-day, not for profit, annual show dedicated to providing a platform for independent and small press publishers / sequential art creators from South Wales and beyond".
Held at the Mercure Holland House Hotel, Newport Road, Cardiff, tickets are available now from Eventbrite.
If you are thinking of coming and will be wanting a sketch commission piece, get ahead of the game and email Russ direct with your requests. Then all you have to do is pick up and pay at the expo.
A4 commission - £20 A3 commission - £45
More detailed work priced individually.

Thank you Portsmouth!

A massive thank you to the organisers of Portsmouth Comic Con 2018. We had an amazing time at their Con this weekend and got to meet some fantastic fans and some old friends.

L-R: John Freeman (DowntheTubes.net), Dave West (AccentUK) and Russ.

It was a pleasure to share Gateway City 1-4 and launch the collaboration with Cult Empire - Lady Hollywood. Russ had a lot of fun working on some commissions, bringing to life your fan favourites with his own flair!



It is now back to the drawing board for Russ, with several exciting new projects in the pipeline - which he is looking forward to sharing with you all soon.

Until then, there is still time to back Enter The Asylum on Kickstarter, which has already met its goal and is now storming towards the first stretch goal. This is a comic book by AccentUK, which includes a five page story illustrated by Russ.
