A little el weirdo

Just over a year ago, I turned up on spec at the El Weirdo Comic Fair in Brockley, South London, with a box of House of Harley goodies for sale. The organiser, Barry Flynn aka UglyManComics, was good enough to find a space for me.

Here’s some sketches I made of attendees at this relaxed and friendly event. You may recognise a face or two from the UK independent comics scene. I took the opportunity to try out my new fountain pen, first one I’ve used since my school days. Click to see the results in more detail.

For more drawings of people going about their business, see our collections of sketches from the London Underground, Dwellers of the Deep 1 and Dwellers of the Deep 2.

Back at the OCCULTZ fair

The House of Harley will be selling comics, art books, original art and much more at the OCCULTZ Oxford Comics, Cult & Zine Fair on Saturday 6th September.

Venue: The Bullingdon, 162 Cowley Road, Oxford, OX4 1EU. The fair will run 10-5:30pm with an extra special Cinema Under the Stairs movie screening from 6pm.

OCCULTZ is an independent art and craft fair specialising in self published & vintage comics, fanzines, underground comix, cult collectibles & art. For more info, follow the organisers on Instagram. Hope to see you there.

It’s a Voodoo Christmas

Look for an exclusive two page House of Harley comic strip, ‘It’s a Voodoo Christmas’, in the OCCULTZ Weird Christmas Special. This festively fungal A5 zine was created by Owen Michael Johnson and Satanic Mojo’s Jason Atomic as a souvenir for visitors to the OCCULTZ Weird Christmas Market, which took place in Oxford on, yes, Friday 13th of this month.

Other highlights include Mutartis Boswell’s Horrific Holidays and ‘The Sinister Siberian Shamic Psychedelic Roots of Santa Claus’ by Jason Atomic.

There’s a few copies left so contact the Occultz guys if you’d like to bag one before Santa lays his mitts on them.
