After months of spending time indoors and working and doing nothing more but that, getting away to Leeds for a few days is what I needed.
So I suppose I'll just account on random things really.... (I am so prepared for this blog hahaha).
I travelled up on Friday night after my shift, trains were delayed so I never ended up arriving in Leeds till 12:30am. To rain and lots of it, I got so wet walking to the hotel Dx Where I was met by 2 fellow comickers Markk and Nick.
We chatted till 3am and got up for Saturdays expo.
This year there were so many people!!! It was busy last year but this year was immense and the crowds were fantastic!! Sadly I never had enough cash to buy all the comics I wanted to purchase... So alot of the ones I was looking at I made note of to get at a later date. My poor bank account!
What I love about Thought Bubble is how I always spot other comics from independent artists that may never get a chance to attend MCM, so I get to see and meet new faces and buy awesome books.
Plus I find; since TB is just a comic event, the stores that are there selling like Travelling Man and Forbidden Planet ect... Have a fantastic wider range of comics and it's easier to browse those! Not like MCM as it can be waaay too packed!
The after party was just brilliant! The venue was lovely and all night I heard nothing but good praises. Very spacious venue, lots of room and bars to chat, dance or watch on the upper levels and look down at all the drunkerds dancing hahahaha

Sunday was a nice day, one of the reasons I was at Thought Bubble was to help Markk aka Anaseed Man at his table. I ended up getting a commission from it myself! Was a £5 sketch of Death from the Sandman series. I was so scared and nervous as it was my first ever con sketch hahahaha
Was fun working the Table and it's cool to have someone there too sitting with you, so you are not lonely LOL
If you are yet to ever travel up to Leeds and attend Thought Bubble, seriously do so!! It's a fantastic convention just for comics. The after party is just as fun and getting the chance to hang out with fellow artists and writers is a great opportunity.
Next year I shall be there with a table selling what hopefully will be this list:
The Orange man, Tremor, Tingles, Conduit issue 0.
Big applause for the Thought Bubble team and volunteers that helped out, see you guys for the next one!!
