100 Tiny Moments Book - Available for Pre-Order.

"There is imaginative and poetic potential in the small details of life that surround us, and very small details can encapsulate the most important things about life"

- Josie Long, in her introduction.

Almost a year after I began work on the 100 Tiny Moments project, and finally the comic is ready for print.  I have brought together all 100 strips from the project, with an introduction by comedian and '100 Days' project leader Josie Long. 

 I am selling 100 copies of the book: each one is hand numbered and comes with a different 100 Tiny Moments badge.  You can pre-order your copy now through paypal and I will pop your copy in the post when the book is released at the end of October.  Just order your copy from the 'Shop' section of my main blog: www.edwardmaross.blogspot.com

 

'100 Tiny Moments From My Past, Present and Future' - 116 pages, black and white. Available for pre-order now.  The book will also be available to buy from me in person at MCM London (29th - 31st October).

I should hopefully be at Josie Long's Lost Treasures of the Black Heart tonight.  Hopefully see some folk there.

Josie has asked us to push our projects to the MAX in the last few days.  Erm... I'll try my best, though since they're currently taking around two to three hours to complete as it is, I'm not sure how more I can max out!  I've got something special in the works for the last few days, plus I'm putting together a wee exhibition of some of my favourite tiny moments for the London event on the 10th (come along, if you're in the area!).  Double plus, I've got a super special set of 100 unique tiny moments badges that you'll be able to grab one of at that event.  They're super cool, and have been made for me by the wonderful Heidi Kuisma A.K.A mybitofsky.

Ninetieth Tiny Moment.

 

I was in two minds about using photographs as part of this comic.  In the end I opted not to try and illustrate the images of my aunt Mary and for the first time used unaltered photographs as part of the strip.  To me Mary exists only as photographs and stories and other people's memories and because of that, an illustration seems insufficient.

Sorry for the lateness of this one, but my internet went down last night.  Better late than never!

Fiftieth Tiny Moment

Half way through! No special celebratory strip I'm afraid. Just another tiny moment. I hope everyone is enjoying the moments so far. It's been a strange process for this first half. For every day where it's been fun and exciting, there's been one that's been draining and a bit demoralising. I've certainly learned a lot in these first 50 days, and just wonder what the next 50 will bring.
