Hi everyone!
So I had a rad time at my launch party for my debut graphic novel 'House Party'. Thank you SO MUCH to all who came, and to the fantastic folk at Orbital for making it such a good night. I was delighted and humbled at how many people came to see little ole' me.
Wanna see some pictures? OF COURSE YOU DO:

On the Sunday I went to Gosh! to sign and number 200 exclusive 'House Party' bookplates :)
You can get your hands on one of these babies by being one of the first 200 people to buy the book from Gosh! So GET GOING ALREADY!
FINALLY - Whilst at ELCAF I did an interview with the lovely Alex Fitch from 'Panel Borders', which goes out live today, hopefully I said some semi-intelligent stuff. If not though I totally SAVE ALEX FROM A WASP about half way through so you should tune in just for that, really. Here's some info about it and how you can listen:
Panel Borders: Comedies and tragedies
Alex Fitch explores the art and culture of comics and graphic novels with practitioners worldwide. Today Alex talks to British small press cartoonist Rachael Smith about her first graphic novel - House Party - and to American artist Maureen Burdock about her latest F Word Project comic which looks at Female Genital Mutilation and is being exhibited at Space Station 65 gallery in Kennington.
4.30pm Monday 16th June, repeated 11am Thursday 19th June on Resonance 104.4 FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com / extended podcast at www.panelborders.wordpress.com
If you were unable to come to the launch party or ELCAF but want to get your mits on a copy of 'House Party' you can order it from the Great Beast store HERE.
Loads of loves to you all,
Rachael xxxx
