Through my work at Thought Bubble, the Yorkshire Comic Art Festival, I've been lucky enough to see most sides of events; from planning a large event with 450+ exhibitors, attended small and medium events as a visitor, and worked behind the table for a comic retailer at various conventions too. A big part of instilling myself within the independent comics scene will be by exhibiting at one of those events.
South London Comic and Zine Fair (SLCZF) has just opened its applications for its 2023 event, which will be held on July 16, and I'm going to use this opportunity to apply.
To apply you need to send in:
- 3 images representing my work - I am going to put together some mock ups of the kind of things that I will have to see, including 'A Walk to a Waterfall', some zines and prints.
- A Website link - Perfect timing as I've created one already.
- Short Description of my work - A good opportunity to summarise my work, which will work well for when I start to put together a pitch pack.
I'll work on the above to ensure I hit the March 3 deadline.
