Getting to the stage where I'm planning to self publish the #EelmanChronicles as a physical #comic. To try & work out how many I should get printed & at what cost I've created a super quick survey. will only take 30 secs & be a huge help!

With the very kind reviews the #eelmanchronicles has been getting, time to start mapping how I can get it turned into a real book (at least vol one, there’s many more stories to tell!) Currently have 20 pages of content, aiming for 28 For this first collection I think. . . . . #process #showyourwork #comics #sketchnotes #comic #selfpublish #doodle #sketch #planning #sketchbook #eels #indiecomics #publishing #indie #diyculture #diy #wisbech #fens

I know you all read about Dads adventures in the #eelmanchronicles and think “I wish I lived such an exciting action packed life...” well now you can with the official Eelman paper doll play set! Simply cut out Spalt and all his accessories and take charge of his destiny! Extensive accessories include: can of Diet Coke, mars bars, pork pie, an eel, an empty net, boat with dog on the front, ill fitting charity shop suit, evil ferret, flat tyre and Clint Eastwood DVD. *additional dogs and Eelman sold separately, please contact your local retailer for info.

Facebook memories tell me today is actually the first anniversary of the #eelmanchronicles! On this day last year I put out a request to people to see which stories they’d like to see documented and I drew this very first doodle trying to capture the atmosphere of the fens. I’ll be honest, I haven’t made as much progress in that year as I’d have liked, but... I’ve completed 4 stories, definitely raised awareness of this project and my dad in general, have people around the country, and in Germany and Singapore wearing Eelman T-shirts, stickers up in Germany and Mexico and a couple of really positive reviews in the bag. THANKYOU to everyone that has read them, enjoyed them, shared them, bought anything or put a sticker up. It’s ridiculous, and hilarious and actually very heartwarming and amazing, more to come!

They’re here :) piles of lovely #eelmanchronicles #stickers! Thanks to the top dudes at @awesomemerch for great turnaround and top notch service. Be sure to hit them up if you need any merch sorted, lovely northern chaps.

Total collected #eelmanchronicles so far. NEARLY enough to get it collected and printed properly. One more story + some covers/random inserts to go I think. . . . . . . #comics #zine #comic #comicbook #showyourwork #doodle #sketch #inktober #drawing #storytelling #father #biography #eels #fens #wisbech #sketchbook #norfolk #lincolnshire #cambridgeshire #countryside #countrylivin #dogs #ferretsofinstagram
