London MCM Comic Con: Artists To Look Out For!

I shall be exhibiting my comics and prints at the London MCM Comic Con this weekend. Whilst I'd love it if you would all pop along to check out my work, pick up a copy of 'Royal' and stay for a chat, there are some excellent artists that I'd highly recommend checking out too. Find them all in Comic Village!

Kayleigh Powis (Pages and Panels/8-Bit Girl)
Co-handling my table is my FiancĂ©e Kayleigh, a freelance journalist, copywriter and blogger for comics blog Pages and Panels and games blog 8-Bit Girl.

In between manning the stall, Kayleigh shall be wandering the Comic Village section to pick up brand new comics to review on Pages and Panels, and attending all the game-related goodness to blog about later on 8-Bit Girl.

Come over to my table at E8 if you want to come and say hi. Don't be afraid to share your comic with her!

Pauscorpi
Pauscorpi has great unique, fantasy style artwork that is definitely worth looking at. A friendly and approachable artist, make sure to check her out!

Fiver Arts (Nathan Ashworth)
Ink and colourist for Jon Lock's Afterlife Inc., under the Fiver Arts name is also the highly recommended Tag series. Issue three is launching at MCM this weekend!

Crom- Cristian Ortiz
Illustrator and creator of a great indie comic Golden Campaign. I love his art style, so please pay him a visit!

Newfangled Press
Married duo Marisa and Deakin Brook pair up under the Newfangled Press name to offer you plenty of cute and quirky illustrations, comics, crafts and more. I personally recommend Marisa's The Armadillo's Tale small press book, and Deakin's Pet Peeves

Failboat Press
Comprising of Naniiebim, Chamonkee and Nikki-Stu, Failboat Press sees a fantastic brand new comic collaboration. Check out the Birdsong/Songbird Anthology-the artwork is fantastic! They've also all proven to have success on their own too. I highly recommend giving them a browse online before you head on over to MCM!

Dead Universe Publishing
Home to a whole variety of great titles (Bertie Bear for instance), I recommend heading over to their table and browsing through their wares. You won't regret it!

Jon Lock Comics
My con neighbour for the London Super Comic Con back in February, Jon Lock is responsible for the fantastic Afterlife, Inc series and The Six. If you want to have a great chat and peruse a quality comic, then Jon's your man!

Mark Pierce & James Stayte
Two fantastic artists and all-round nice guys, Mark Pearce will be selling his Ronin Dogs comics (number three has only just been released!), whilst James Stayte has Big Jimmy to offer. Both are also expected to show off their prints and other works, so please check them out!

Jess Bradley (now Bove!)
One of my earliest convention artist friends, Jess has been a regular at conventions for quite some time now. She'll be showing off her range of cute, quirky, weird and damn-right amusing wares. I'd definitely recommend checking out her ever-growing collection of small-press books. The Cute & The Weird 3 is her latest one!

John-Paul Bove
Colourist for a whole host of respected and well-established comic series (Judge Dredd and Transformers to name a few!), JP has also ventured into the writing world too with the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. 
JP will be showing off his fantastic colouring skills on his table, with a variety of prints to buy or peruse. As always, he'll also be colouring your sketches!
