My co-writer/co-illustrator \u003Ca href=\"http://davidoconnell.uk/\">David O'Connell\u003C/a> and I had fun mucking about with Posca pens in the front window of \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/GoshComics\">Gosh Comics\u003C/a> in Soho. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sarahdavejampires2_zpsivevlb63-ceb510d8a9.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nPainting on windows is strange, the opposite to painting on paper, because the first colours you apply to the glass are the ones that show in front. So I kept running around to the front of the window to check we were doing all right. The other thing about painting on windows is that you have people watching you! Which is actually quite fun, because you can wave at each other and see them heading off with their freshly signed \u003Ci>Jampires\u003C/i> books. I love this photo of Lily with her new book, \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/charliehacking\">tweeted by Charlotte Hacking\u003C/a>:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/gosh_jampires_tweet_zps5rd00pcc-3857938ebc.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nTa-dah! All finished! We're keeping our fingers crossed that Gosh will leave it up for Christmas as well as Halloween. You can \u003Cb>knit a Jampire\u003C/b> to go along with your book if you want to download the free pattern (along with lots of other activities) at \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jampires.com\">jampires.com\u003C/a>.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sarahdavejampires_zpsil6u9usc-7207a3621d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nMaybe they will; \u003Ca href=\"http://www.neillcameron.com/\">Neill Cameron\u003C/a>'s lovely \u003Ci>Pirates of Pangaea\u003C/i> painting is still in the window! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/gosh_pirates_zpsaegezm4r-76deb353cf.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nDave and I signed a lot of stock, so you can still get copies of the \u003Ci>Jampires\u003C/i> picture book and mini comic, Dave's \u003Ci>Monster & Chips\u003C/i> series, and my \u003Ci>Dinosaur Police\u003C/i>, \u003Ci>There's a Shark in the Bath\u003C/i>, \u003Ci>Morris the Mankiest Monster\u003C/i> and \u003Ci>You Can't Eat a Princess!\u003C/i>. We also met a nice Scottish chappie named \u003Ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Millar\">Mark Millar\u003C/a> who also makes comics and film stuff, and ladies in nice costumes like to pose for photos with him. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/gosh_mark_millar_zpswqeo9uld-e5f906525d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI'm off to Norway for a week packed full of school visits and a festival, so I'll have more news soon (but I might be a bit slow getting back to e-mails and things).","2015-10-31T19:38:00.000Z","jampires-at-gosh-comics",[],"jampires at gosh comics",1776628727891]
