Greenbelt 2011

The Greenbelt Festival starts on Friday, and I will be there not really doing much. One or two pieces of information follow:

Where I will be
Quite often I will be in the G-Books tent which is being run by Hymns Ancient and Modern (company that includes Church Times, Church House Bookshop, etc). Some of the time I will be behind a table explaining the intricacies of subscribing to the Church Times to enquirers and passers-by. There will be an exhibition of cartoons (laminated), including ones that haven’t appeared in any of the books. Do come and say hello.

Signing
I have nothing to sign, and will be signing it in G-Books at the following time: Sunday, 1.30pm. Bring plaster casts, copies of Rob Bell books, etc. Alternatively my books, greetings cards (five designs) and 2012 calendar will be available and I will scribble on them thereby reducing second hand resale value by approximately 25%.

T-shirts
An exciting development. A t-shirt with a cartoon of mine on will be available for the first time. Images can be seen down below (these are photoshopped pictures showing what the t-shirt would look like if worn by a theoretical model who only exists in photoshop). The t-shirts will be available in quite limited numbers and I have been told they will cost £10 and come in blue, grey, and white. All shapes, sizes, and colours are ethical. Staff will have one with ‘Staff’ written on it. I’d buy one sooner rather than later to be sure of getting your preferred size and colour. No one knows whether they will sell or not, hence limited numbers.

Site map
People have been asking me how to get hold of my hand-drawn festival map (from which the t-shirt cartoon is taken – sort of). If you are not a Greenbelt Angel (they already have them) look out for people like me giving out the ‘Guide to Greenbelt’ on Friday evening, or come to the G-Books / Church Times tent and pick one up (free).

    Hi Dave, the t-shirt looks great! I will try to get in early to get one at Greenbelt. I’ve already been admiring the map! (I’m the girl with the funny eyeliner you may have seen at Maggi’s book launch, but I was too shy to introduce myself, the internet is much less scary.) Have a great Greenbelt!

    Love the teeshirts. I have camped very near to the late night guitar player – if you know their identity it would be an act of public good to share it… purely so that we can camp somewhere else of course….

    Ahhhhhh!!!! The first year in ages I’m not coming and a t-shirt I really want!! There is a rumour I hit a late night guitarist over the head with his guitar, this is not true, but tempted!

    Not Fair! I am not going to Greenbelt, but would love one of your t-shirts, whether with this or any other cartoon on it. Are you/would you consider doing some for Christmas, Easter or any other time of year? You could do t-shirts reflecting the church’s year, perhaps, in the correct liturgical colours, of course! Seriously though, you really should do some t-shirts – they’d make great presents for the vicar and/or his/her wife/husband. (Sorry about the overuse of the forward slash there.) It could open up a whole new market for you as they would be bound to draw comment. I’m sure you’re regulars can come up with suitable subjects!

    Great to see you at Greenbelt, Dave. I absolutely loved my first proper experience of said festival and will be back. I shall also wear my new T-shirt with pride. :)

    Loved the t-shirt, but unfortunately the best coloured ones had all been snaffled by the staff.

    Will there be any more available in black?

    Having bought my t-shirt I wore it to communion on Sunday. All day I got complimentary comments about it (until it went under a Greenbelt hoodie) and was asked which organisation I belonged to that had such cool t-shirts.

    Thanks for kind t-shirt comments. Sorry that not everyone got what they wanted. I’ll post on the blog as soon as there are more, which I hope there will be.
