So, it finally happened. I have been asked to be the Laydeez Do Comics Blogguest for the May event! A big honour, but also a big responsibility 🙂 Oh well, if I manage to survive the dreaded introduction + monthly question at the beginning of every Laydeez meetup, I can do everything 🙂 My name […]

Laydeez do Comics April Meeting
Edd Baldry by Lucy Bergonzi I am Abi Higgs. I’m a massage therapist and studying counselling. My link to drawing is all quite new, I made a selection of mini one page comics in 2004/2005 about the Sun & Moon chatting in space and as of last year I started getting into it more and making comics […]
The ideas of March
Another excellent evening at Laydeez do Comics. Anyway very exciting… two excellent speakers this week, Ros Archer, fine artist turned or turning comic creator and Woodrow Phoenix author of the groundbreaking Rumble Strip. As usual we met in The Rag Factory off Brick Lane a lovely secret-ish venue – a lot warmer at this time […]
Do you speak Comic?
Karrie Fransman introduces the London Print Studio Comics Collective Laydeez Do Comics. Could be described as the grape vine of the comics world, and you know, even the bean stalk as well! I’m very happy to have been invited this week by Nicola and Sarah to report on the latest goings on. My name is […]
24th January 2011
I love to periodically descend from my bucolic hilltop abode in North Wales and haul my parochial butt down to attend Laydeez-do Comics. This month I was particularly honoured to be January’s ‘Blogess’ and am thrilled to report on the talks of four interesting and esteemed speakers. My name is Ian Williams, and I edit […]

November 2010 Meeting
Drawing by Sarah Lightman There was a tube strike in London and many of us who came from outside London had travelled through snow and horrible train delays. Unfortunately Josie O. who was planning to be our blogess got stuck in all this winter stuff, so I, Nicola Streeten am on words with Sarah Lightman […]
October’s Meeting

My first love is drawing, and I was delighted to be asked to be tonight’s blogger – after only discovering Laydeez Do Comics in September. The drawings here show the […]

September’s Meeting
This month I’m the bloggess (blogguest)….I am Nicola Streeten, co founder of Laydeez with Sarah Lightman and I am still loving our meetings more and more each time. Sarah springs a question on us to introduce ourselves. Actually the questions are fairly harmless, like tonight’s, ‘What nice thing has happened to you this week OR […]
