Burton Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention

I will be tabling at Burton Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention on February 18th.

I will have books, sketches and prints available. All books bought at the con will be signed with a quick sketch.

I’ll also be taking sketch requests. If you want me to draw your favourite character send me a message in advance. Or come by the table on the day and sign up for a sketch. Take a look here for my artwork.

I’ve heard good things about Burton SFF Con. It was set up by the author Angeline Trevena. The show has expanded this year to take over two floors of the library. It looks very family friendly.

Fan Art Sketches in Store

This year I’ve been doing occasional fan art sketches for fun. Topics have ranged from Music, Comics, TV, Video Games. Basically anything that has inspired me past or present.

All of these A5 original art sketches are being added to the Band Of One STORE on Monday 9th January 2023. A great opportunity to get a unique one-off sketch to decorate your walls and support an independent artist in the process.

Look out for more of these sketches in 2023 on Instagram and the Illustration section of this website. Some of this years sketches have already been sold at comic conventions over the course of the year.

I will update the website soon with any appearances I’m making in 2023.

Band Of One Website Design

The Band Of One website has been long overdue a proper redesign. I finally found the time to put my plans into action to make this site into a proper home for my comics and animations.

One of the features of the new design I’m most excited about is if you visit the website on a desktop computer, you will see the comic strips presented in full page format as originally intended.

However if you choose to land here on your phone or tablet, you will find a mobile friendly vertical scroll format. In many ways I like this even better!

Certainly with some of the Warped comics the long vertical panels feel tailor-made for this infinite scrolling format. It makes for a very satisfying reading experience.

If you were in need of an excuse to catch up on what we’ve been producing at Band Of One inc recently, then now is a great time to do so.

Website design is a fluid concept, especially in my hands. I’m sure more changes will come, so if you happen to find anything broken or confusing please reach out and let me know. I can then work on making this site the best it can be. 

Anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of the new design may like to know I used WordPress and more specifically the Toocheke theme which is purpose built for webcomics

A doff of the cap to Brad and Dave at ComicLab Podcast for suggesting Toocheke as a CMS. I’ve been a long time fan of their podcasting pursuits from even before ComicLab and you can’t go too far wrong listening to their show for advice with the added bonus that they are always highly entertaining. 

Happy holidays!
