Bristol Expo 2008 with Jamie McKelvie, Kieron Gillen and John Cei Douglas Birmingham International Comics Show 2008 with Adam Cadwell New Mini Comics Out Now I've now got two new mini comics on sale in the store.

Click to enlarge You'll be pleased to know that I have now finished drawing Love The Way You Love Volume 6 and it is now being toned like a mother eff by Adam and myself. I can only really apologise to everyone for the delay here. If you weren't in the know, I developed a horrible case of RSI in my wrist a few months back and I've been having physio to sort it out. It's properly on the mend, the only draw back is I can't draw for as long as I used to and have to take regular breaks and cut short my days. Anyway, according to Oni the issue will now ship in June. Blurb: Old flames are snuffed, situations misinterpreted, and brothers reunited as Jamie S. Rich and Marc Ellerby’s rock ‘n’ roll romance wraps up its first set. Maria is back in Tristan’s life but is she an invited guest or an unwelcome intruder? Does Tristan even know for sure? The Love The Way You Love Trade Paperback is out now!

Comics

	Ellerbisms A sporadic online diary comic chronicling my daily ins and outs. It's going to be relaunched soon, so keep an eye out but for the mean time... Read them here.
	I Need To Stop Falling In Love On Trains This was my entry for that Observor/ComICA competition. I didn't win, but look at some of the other entries. Read.
	Egocentricity A university project where I kept a comic diary for a month and turned it into an 'artist's book.' It's about introspection and uhhrrr...girls... Read all 60 pages.
	Where Banished Eyes Haven't Been Another university project where this time with the stress of not having a solid idea and looming deadline I look at the mental state we can often work ourselves into. Read all 60 pages.

Bibliography

	Love The Way You Love Written by Jamie S. Rich | Published by Oni Press Tristan has two things to his name - a band and a broken heart - and if he's not careful, he's liable to lose them both. Like A Dog is a band on the verge of blowing up and with Tristan finally back from an overseas trip, they think tonight's gig might just light that fuse! But when Tristan spots his dream girl in the crowd, will she fix his lack of love or send his band's career down in flames? 6 issue Manga digest format series. Issues 1-5 out now, Issue 6 June 2008. Go to the store to buy a copy. | Click here for the mini site
	Ellerbisms Self Published Ellerbisms are a gateway into my daily life. I cover the usual autobio stuff like getting down about girls but I also yell Les Savy Fav lyrics at people and put my foot in my mouth a whole bunch. I try and present the small parts of life that people can relate to but give my own personal and warped spin on things. It's a webcomic and can be found here, but I also made a mini comic of it and you can buy it from the store. Go to the store to buy a copy.
	Speed Trail - An Hourly Comic Self Published Hourly Comic Day is an online event that happens every year where cartoonists document a every hour their awake via sequential illustration. Mine came out pretty well and you can read it all here but there's also a limited edition mini comic available. Go to the store to buy a copy.
	Venal Muse Self Published What exactly is a muse? Does he or she actually exist or is it just something in the artist's head? Marc Ellerby explores this idea in a "conversation" to the reader about a past relationship and how she's influenced/hindered his creativity. Preview here Go to the store to buy a copy.
	Polar Opposites Self Published Two penguins. One's a complete bastard, the other, not as much. These strips are dumb/funny/political/life shatteringly awesome. I made a mini comic of them and it took forever to put together. Feel my pain! Preview here Go to the store to buy a copy.
	Put The Book Back On The Shelf: A Belle And Sebastian Anthology Short Story: Marx & Engles Written by Jamie S. Rich | Published by Image Comics My 'major label debut.' Drawn a while ago, the art looks different as it does now, but you know, the rest of the anthology's got Caita Chan, Andi Watson and other awesome indie comic kings and queens, so, yeah, worth a look. Buy a copy from Amazon.
