MAY 2025 - Announcing my Return to Streaming! Plus: Conventions and more!
You know I love joining an art trend super late! Here is my action figure portrait - no AI included! It’s nice to know that whatever horrors AI is yet to bring us in the future, we artists still find a way to inspire each other.
Today’s headlines are:
Conventions this Month!
My Return to Streaming!
Podcast Appearances
Go-Man Launch
CONVENTIONS THIS MONTH!
My conventions in the UK are beginning in just over one week, starting with the Fine Line Festival and then MCM London Comic Con. Fine Line Festival will also include a lecture from me on the process of adaptation! And lots of Dead End alum will be there, including one of our lead animation directors JuanPe Arroyo. Get tickets here:
MAY 10: Fine Lines Festival
University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, UKMAY 23-25: MCM London Comic Con
Excel Center, London, UKMY RETURN TO STREAMING
During lockdown, I like many homosexuals took to streaming on twitch to find companionship. I ended up stopping when moving house but I miss it and it’s time to come back!
MAY 31ST! On my Twitch Channel! I will be streaming!
I do not yet know what I will be streaming but my options at the moment are Sonic Adventure 2 (which I’ve never played!) or doing one giant final play-through of every track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in order to bid it farewell before Mario Kart World comes out the week after.
I hope to stream on Saturdays all summer, and maybe more days in the week. And these are likely to be daytime UK time, but I might switch to evenings every so often so everyone can join in.
I’d also love to maybe play games with you guys too. I have lots of plans… maybe even charity streams or draw-alongs. Let me know what you’d be into!
Because truthfully I want to use streaming as way to reconnect with you guys. I miss talking to you all about my life and projects, and I want to use streaming as a way to help Go-Man promotion. With the times as they are and not being able to come to the States to launch the book, this was the best solution to bring back that face to face interactions. And maybe when the book launches, I’ll do an AMA about it on twitch too!
I will send another email as a reminder just before I go live, but if you already use twitch, feel free to follow me now and get ready: https://www.twitch.tv/hamishsteele
PODCAST APPEARANCES
I’ve recently appeared on a number of podcasts talking about Go-Man and my love of kaiju movies, as well as my evergreen talking point of LGBTQIA+ representation in animation! They can all be listened to on your podcast option of choice.
Check them out below:
GO-MAN LAUNCH
And finally, Go-Man Volume 1 is available for preorder from your favourite book or comic store. Preorders really help authors out and insures that when their books launch, they launch with a bang.
Speaking of launching, the official book launch and signing for the series will be at Gosh! Comics in London, UK on Thursday 28th August 2025. If you’re local, please jot that down!
As ever, thank you for the support and hopefully I will see you at one of these events or over on twitch very soon!
