DINO-SAW-US

The UK and mini web comix thing is fast approaching. One of the exhibitors called Lizz luney has come up with this sticker collecting game that people can take part in one the day. She will be giving out paper passports and encouraging people to visit all the stalls to collect stickers or stamps off of participating exhibitors. More info can be found here: http://www.dinosawus.blogspot.com/ I recently got some stickers made just to give to people, so I might have to take part
in this too. Here is a picture of mine.

Shout out on the Forbidden Planet Blog

I felt really honoured to find out recently that the very talented Richard Cowdry gave me a mention in his interview on the Forbidden Planet Blog under the title of who to watch out for this year. I better not disappoint.

Here is what he said: "Saban Kazim, who is a guy from the UK small press scene. I especially like his slice of life pieces. He has these autobiographical stories which he works into stand up comedy sketches, and then makes into comics. His strips are really funny. Check out his story in the Alternative Press “Publish You” book."

The Lik & Neon shop is now stocking some of my stuff

I was in the Lik & Neon shop today near Bricklane. A really cool little shop which sells loads comics, zines, magazines, t-shirts and lots of other home made crafty things like jewellery. The nice lady that runs the shop along with the help of her assistant and 3 cats decided they liked my stuff and have decided to stock some of my things like comics and t-shirts etc. Hopefully some of my stuff will sell. Here is the website link to the shop: www.likneon.com and here is where to find the shop: 106 Sclater Street, E1 6HR
