I will be popping along to the Leed's THOUGHT BUBBLE Comic Art Festival this coming weekend.  You will find me out and around the show on the Sunday.  Although very last minute the organizers have kindly extended me the permission to sketch at a table when one becomes available later in the day.  Up until then you can find out where I am at the show by following my Twitter feed.  So if your after a sketch and I am at the bar, feel free to join me :)

Last Saturday I attended the 2nd ever Manchester MCM Expo Event.  This was the first time at the event for me so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  Yes, I knew the sort of crowd that would turn up, but I really did not know how many people would show.  For one of the hottest days of the year in a season of unprecedented rainfall, this was quite a crowd.  

Not only did they turn up by in their thousands, but also in an almighty sea of costumes. Cosplayers are certainly a dedicated bunch.  Though I could understand those ladies that turned up in next to nothing, (as their favorite character in mini-knickers) I could not quite get my head around the hordes in what can only be described as sweat wear.  If they were wearing it, they were most definitely sweating!

All in all though it made a fun and arguably more interesting day for me.  I was locked firmly behind my table,  No toilet breaks & certainly no movement in my lower body by the end of the day.  The crowds were crazy, I had people ten deep at my table, so much so at times they would be blocking off the aisle.  But I could not waiver, I thought if those cosplayers can do it, so can I!

So here's a small sampling of my work for the day. Enjoy!
