A couple of weeks ago, a huge number of publishers got together for a bookfair. The kind where you can’t even buy books (also known as the worst kind).

As a student the whole thing is rather intimidating and tiring. I may not have been learning much while gaping open-mouthed at the scale of it all in my ill fitting, un-ironed ‘grownup’ clothes while the real grownups had important meetings and did important deals but at least there were talks. Most importantly at least there…

Even though we were supposed to be lying about doing not terribly much in between waddling to…

Hello artists out there,

I've been speaking to a comedian and Stand Comedy Club regular, Martin Mor, who's looking for some portraits for his 2012 Edinburgh Fringe show.

Martin says:

"I am performing a new hour of stand up comedy at this years Edinburgh Festival. The show is called “A man you don’t meet every day”. In this show I will be talking about aspects of identity; how we see ourselves, how others see us.

With this in mind I am looking for…

Outside the huge and lovely Eden Court Theatre, cosplay folk stood in the blazing sunshine. Fascinated children had their pictures taken with them. It was the family-friendly vibe we noticed first about Hi-Ex,…

We’re getting ready to head north for the Hi-Ex Comic Con on 31 March and 1 April. We speak to co-founder Vicky Stonebridge about how it all came about.

Hi-Ex started when Stonebridge was working at Eden Court theatre, doing an animation project. She was encouraged to also invite…

So I draw wee autobio comics to force me to draw regularly but I lead a mundane existence and often can't think of anything worth drawing. I made a new blog recently for fiction since it depends less on how interesting I am in real life. Constructive criticism would be very welcome. If anything isn't clear or pacing doesn't work or you just don't like the drawing style or whatever, I'd love to know some opinions so I can get better. I have a…

Hi there! I just discovered this place yesterday when I got a notification on Twitter telling me that Graphic Scotland had followed me - I'm not sure how they found out about me but I'm really happy to see there's a place for me to check out other Scottish peoples' comics, and maybe get some more viewers on my own!

So, a little more about me, I live up in Aberdeenshire, in a small village known as Whitehills. It's a really quiet place, not much to do here so I spend a lot of time on…

I am doing a dissertation this year for my publishing degree on comic book publishers' recent foray into the digital medium as compared to webcomics. I'm really not sure what the hell I'm arguing as yet. The differences in format, marketing, content, social issues, creator ownership etc. as well as the why and the why not I suppose. It will be a lot of rambling most likely.

If anyone has any thoughts on webcomics or digital comics or even the comic book publishing industry as…
