Beginning a New Chapter
Well firstly, Happy New Year to you all. I've never been a huge blogger but I'm at least going to try a monthly update for anyone who may be reading.
I started late last year with a goal of branching out, getting myself to more Cons, getting more of my work seen, and, if possible, make a bit of a bit of money out of all this. On that end, I think it was a success. I have my website, my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/GKillustratio…), and I met some great people at the few Cons I was able to attend.
So this year? I want to do more. I want to go to more Cons, do more commissions, work on more comics. Oh yes, you have, you're going to be seeing a lot more of this smiley face 
Well that’s about it for this update, for the rest of the year i’ll be appearing at these Cons (and am still applying for more).

The Big Glasgow Comic and Craft Fair
So today's the day for the Big Glasgow Comic & Craft Fair in The Trades in Merchant City. Something I didn't fully take into consideration for MCM last week was people looking for issue two of NeverEnding (of which I'm the artist of) but didn't see "NeverEnding" on the MCM website. Fortunately a couple of fans managed to spot it on my table GK illustration ( garykelly84.wix.xom/gkillustra… or find me on Facebook searching GK illustration)
If anyone else was looking for issue two, or heck if you're new and want to read a Glasgow-based spy/thriller with a strong female lead I have issue one, I'll be in The Trades from 10:00-17:00 today. Free entry if you're dresses as a zombie. Otherwise it's only £1. I'll also be selling my various prints (which I'm all stocked on again after selling out of a few) including my Silhouette Series.
Go on. Get yourself down there. And bring money

On the Road to MCM (again)
Where does the time fly? Since it first began coming to Scotland, I have been a regular attendee/vender at the MCM Scotland Comic Con. MCM, for all its faults, will always hold a special place with me because really its where I began the journey as a comic artist to where I am today. As a result, I always like to make sure, above all else, MCM is at least the one show I will definitely be at in any given year.
In September 2013, Stephen Sutherland and I launched the black & white edition of our Glasgow-based comic series "NeverEnding" which was a resounding success for me personally. Not only did the comic sell out with hours of the venue opening but I too ran out of paper in the available drawing pads I had brought with as a back up. As a result, I had to fall back onto sell prints I had brought more just for table decoration than anything else. And fortunately, I managed to get my hands on another drawing pad and began commission sketches again.
In 2014, after the success of the previous year, Stephen and I returned with the new, fully coloured, "NeverEnding" issue one under the banner of Glasgow indie-publisher Unthank Comics. Another resounding success for the comic and with the venue bigger and over a longer period this time, I had a great deal of fun at the event.
So where are we now? It's September. It's 2015. And yes, I will be returning to my Comic Con home under my new banner GK Illustration in exactly two weeks time (eek). With me I'll be bringing new-to-MCM issue two of "NeverEnding" with the special edition cover created by the amazing Emma Vieceli, As well as that, I'll be bringing a selection of prints found here on the site with me in various sizes from A5 to A3. And yes, I'll be bringing more than one drawing pad with me should anyone with a quick sketches. I'll have a price guide on my table on the day.
MCM isn't the only event I'll be at this year. I'll also be attending the Big Glasgow Comic & Craft Fair in October. But more on that later. This is MCM's journey first. So, if anything is going to be attending the Con, be sure to look me up in the Comic Village. As soon as I know where my table is, I'll let you good people know.
See you then.
