I haven't posted here for many years, for various reasons.
Seven years actually - during which many life changing events have occured.
Some very positive, some not so much, and some downright catastrophic.
Looks like I may be back, though I may have changed somewhat...

Walking again, drawing again.
Friday night I met Sally Anne at the House of Illustration in Kings Cross where the fabulous Aline Kominsky was being interviewed by Sarah Lightman - a most inspiring and enjoyable event, well worth the trek. I also took in the Comix Creatrix exhibition featuring work by 100 women artists – too many to list here but it includes Claire Bretecher, Tove Jansson, Posy Simmonds, Julie Doucet, Kate Beaton, Donya Todd and Isabel Greenberg... What a delight to see a page from the amazing Lynda Barry's 1980's Girls and Boys, examine Aline K's tiny artwork, discover Brigid Deacon's Burns-eque Coma Deep and find a fetish comic from the 1950s that looks so ahead of its time...
Surprisingly few familiar faces and a fair amount of guys at the talk but Corinne Pearlman, Lee Kennedy and Wallis Eates helped make it more of a Ladeez night.

Last Saturday was the first outing of the Dessinators at a UK comic fair since CECAF last November. Sean and I did make it to Angouleme, but we seem to have spent the last six months in hibernation.
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1442327612725886/">Takeover 2015</a>, the Alternative Press and London Radical Bookfair cross-over in Bermondsey, was a welcome distraction from the disappointment of the election and ended up being a good day despite the delayed-delivery-of-tables fiasco. So great to catch up with my table mates and see some familiar faces again.

I managed to produce a new mini comic for the event, as well as collecting my copy of <a href="http://kearastewart.bigcartel.com/">A little Bit of Undigested Potato</a> bad dream anthology from the lovely <a href="http://www.brokenfrontier.com/small-press-spotlight-dreams-nightmares-anthology-bit-undigested-potato-keara-stewart/">Keara Stewart</a>. As well as organising a second event, Sean has found time to put together another excellent new tome – check out <a href="http://sean-azzopardi.com/2015/05/07/tracks/">Tracks</a> in Orbital or Gosh.
A date for your diary is June 6th : make your way to Crouch End for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/359106954286501/">CECAF 2</a> and all kinds of comic goodness!

Just been out to the countryside getting a blast of spring loveliness and old clobber with Heather. Took in some culture on the way: fabulous tapestry map at The Bodleian in Oxford and <a href="http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/collections/marx_lambert.aspx">Enid Marx</a> and <a href="http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/events/370/the_nonconformists_photographs_by_martin_parr.aspx">Martin Parr</a> at Compton Verney near Kineton. Splendid.

Somehow got sidetracked and didn't get round to blogging these past weeks, and now it's over. The work looked great in the venue, such a lovely space, and I got very positive feedback. Such a good turn out at the launch – that night was really special. And thank you to all who made it to Kensal Rise at any time!
It was a really fun experience. Might do it again if asked.

I did not go down to Trafalgar Square last night to join in the vigil. I was broken by despair at the atrocity perpetrated in Paris.
But today I find there are people actually starting to find justifications for what happened. "<i>Oooh they shouldn't have drawn those pictures...it's a bit racist... they gave Mohamed a big nose WHAT THE FUCK?"</i>

Now I am ANGRY. NOTHING justifies this outrage.
Charlie Hebdo has been fighting bigotry since before I was a teenager. It targets injustice, stupidity, corruption and hypocrisy indiscriminately, regardless of colour, nationality, faith, political leaning or social status.
These men (and one woman) were executed in cold blood by fanatics. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION.

As someone for whom drawing is as necessary as breathing, who has healed herself by laying down her anxieties and neuroses on paper, and tried to be truthful on the page, I cannot envisage how this event can in any shape or form be acceptable or even understandable.
WE MUST NOT BE INTIMIDATED.

A soggy Bank Holiday didn't dampen our fun as we celebrated the blessed Lucy and attended a <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2014/aug/26/paw-pageant-at-old-spitalfields-market-in-pictures">poochy beauty pageant</a>. 24 years ago Lucy made her appearance in a Carnival heatwave, but this time only Ned braved the relentless rain and got soaked to soca, while we chose the shelter of Spitalfields Market to coo over furry fashionistas - my personal favourite being Goldilocks and her three tiny bears for concept and cuteness. Now we all want a dog...

I have been doing the occasional shift at our local independent cinema for several weeks now – gets me out of the house. The bijou <a href="http://thelexicinema.co.uk/">Lexi</a> in Kensal Rise is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine, goat cheese popcorn and a movie. And it's all for a good cause!
