Terraforming

Do not be fooled by my silence for I have been terraforming (preview from an upcoming comic for the next DECADENCE ANTHOLOGY):

Quick Draw Live at the Design Museum

Come down to the Design Museum next Friday night to see me do live drawing en masse at the Unexpected Pleasures event run by the guys at Offlife.

Thanks to everybody who came down for this on Friday - and thank you to the Design Museum for hosting us all. It was pretty intense to be drawing in front of a bunch of people instead of hunched in a dark corner at home listening to prog metal but I would DO IT AGAIN.

I don't want the soil getting ideas

In case you didn't pick up a copy, this was published in issue 2 of Offlife magazine.

Design Week

Offlife has been profiled on the Design Week website and their feature includes my comic The Allotment.

Meanwhile, I seem to be scripting a space opera so pls assume brace positions.

Seasonal Cetaceans

This informational World Wide Web site is feeling a bit neglected so here's some belugas and a polyhedron to look at:

This image will be available as a printed card at Brighton's New England House Open Studios on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th December alongside some of my posters and a whole bunch of other stuff. Come up to level 5 North and go wild because it's all in aid of The Rockinghorse Children's Charity.

Offlife

Microcosmic Orbit is super hyped to be featured in Offlife, AKA "the UK's only street press comic", distributed for free in shops, pubs and cafes in London and Bristol.

Issue 1 has been out for a while now and it includes Professional Phagocyte alongside some really excellent work from all over the planet.

Issue 2, with a brand new Microcosmic comic about change-resistant potatoes, has already hit Bristol and will be kicking about in London from THIS SATURDAY!

We Are Collective

Microcosmic Orbit will be 'porting to a converted chapel in Andover next Saturday 11th August for the We Are Collective event. There'll be the usual comics and posters on sale as well as an *exclusive* divination session from Frater Alarph. 

2nd International Alternative Press Festival

Microcosmic Orbit is going to be selling comics and new POSTERS at the 2nd International Alternative Press Festival this Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm, cheek to jowl with the humanists at Conway Hall. That's 12 whole hours of self-published stuff and workshops. You should definitely come. Come pls!

Decadence #9

Ok so the supremely talented guys at Decadence have put together another pineal-melting collection of stories, including my very own The Unexpected. Click your way to the Decadence Megastore to get up a copy and break the (presumably) grinding tedium of yr life.

Professional Phagocyte

Some lite comic relief. Not sure why you'd want this on your wall, but if you ever did this will probably be available soon as a poster.

The Unexpected: Full story

As usual, this is based on stuff that really happened to me.

Figuratively speaking.

Paradigm Shift

Just in time for 2012, a fresh batch of Paradigm Shift, the latest MO offering.

Available now in the Microcosmic Shoppe, and also this Saturday at the Cowley Club in Brighton. Drop by if you're around (virtually or in person)...

Comica Comiket: Independent Comics Fair

This is happening next Saturday. If you live in London, please come, and make sure you visit the Microcosmic Orbit stall because it will blow your mind.

*EDIT* The South East London Zine Fair is also happening that day and looks equally exciting/worthy.

Ascension: full comic

Click on the first image to view them all.

This comic has just been published in the estimable Nyx, a Noctournal.

Launching the Monstrous

The forthcoming issue of Nyx, a Noctournal includes a new story by Emix about a subterranean golem. The launch event is this Friday at the Old Police Station in Deptford and you should go if you're around - it sounds fun and would probably be a good, "sociable" type of thing to do.

Time, space and consciousness would never be the same

Another preview from the Bellykids project - this time the text was contributed by Diva Dompe, formerly of the excellent Pocahaunted.

Bad Vibrations

After my soul gladly left the bardo

Exquisite Things review

Matt of Exquisite Things has written a remarkably well-informed, generous and thorough review of some Microcosmic offerings:
