Mike Diana at Orbital!
If you are in the West End of London between now & March 14th be sure not to miss this exciting exhibition at Orbital Comics.
Grab this rare chance to viddy & indeed purchase original artwork of the notorious Mike Diana!
It is a most joyous and graphic celebration filled with gleeful gloriousness and gloriousity of exploding stars and bloody stumps, bugmen, balloons, bunnies, ponies, crazy cats and crack babies!
Hear Mike tell his story on The Orbiting Pod.
(The state of Florida ended up bulldozing his family home to stop him drawing his comics!)

Doug Sneyd at Orbital Comics.
On Nov 16th at Orbital Comics, Playboy cartoonist, Doug Sneyd hosted a life drawing master-class with Manko modelling. This event sold out within 3 days of being announced and judging by the feedback from attending artists, the model and venue staff is likely to be the first of many.
Manko, inspired by Doug's pin-up illustrations prepared two very different looks for the night.
This week on friday the 23rd Nov 2012, Doug returns to Orbital for a conversation with artist & curator Jason Atomic. This is a free event and will be moderated by Orbital podcaster Chris Thompson.
