The London Comic and Small Press Expo

Hello! This Saturday was the London Comic and Small Press Expo. Goldsmiths was packed full of cool stuff and nice people, and hopefully we’ll be featuring some of the best of the show later in the coming weeks. In the mean time, here’s a short photo report on a small fraction of the great artists and creators present, you’ll also be able to find a link to their online presence. It’s not really a definitive report, as I kept forgetting to take pictures and got easily distracted by all the badges (my jacket was covered by the end). ENJOY!

Steeltoecaps

Here's Tom Hunt, he does Steeltoecaps, which is pretty much the acest webcomic ever.
