TIGER YOU REALY JUST HIT THE JACKPOT!

LSCC 2013

2/25/2013

The Second ever London Super Comic Con began early for me. Not just with an exhaustive Pre-Sketch list, but heading down to London for an early set up & boy am I glad I did. Friday Afternoon Set-Up is always preferable to a Manic Saturday Morning Rush & this time was no exception.

I was there nice and early to see the crowds literally run into the hallways just so they could cue in front of their favorite Artists. My gosh was I busy. Although I was well prepared with all my nesissary items of nutrion in place, I never quite found the time to enjoy them. Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, Starscream x4, Maverick etc.. & the list went on...

The usual aftershow drinks are fun, however I was not there. I was working in The Shalloo's studio until 2.30 in the morning in an attempt to play catch up. Though the take away and good company kept me going into the small hours.

The Sunday allthough quiter than the Saturday before it, was good too. Though it did luckily privide me with the opportunity to make headway into my sketch list. This was the biggest Comics based show I have been too. Though was missing last years Stan Lee affect. It will be interesting where it goes from here.....

LONDON SUPER COMIC CONVENTION WEEKEND

2/19/2013

This Weekend I will be heading back up to the Big Apricot. (As I would like it to be known!) For The London Super Comic Convention. Based in the Excel Centre alongside the Docklands this promises to be one hell of a show. With the biggest creators in Comics from around the world this will be the mecca for all Comics aficionados.

The doors open at 9.00 on Saturday morning for early entry, so remember to be bright eyed & busy tailed. You will find me in the Artists Alley at Table C28 on the far wall to your left. Just before you get to the half way point. You could always run down the middle isle & look that big Optimus Prime banner!

Pre-orders will be able to be picked up from the morning, and if you have a sketch request come to me 1st thing, as I get full up pretty quick and can only do a limited amount on each day.

MCM MIDLANDS TELFORD SHOW

2/18/2013

My first time back to the Telford show in many a year was a pleasant surprise.

Now you may think otherwise from viewing the photo opposite.... but even the Zombies were friendly.

I arrived early at new street station only to accidentally bump into 2 of of my Comics Village comrades. Andy Doodles Baker & DJosh as he now wishes to be known. After a short Train Journey to the International Center I was pleased to see a good few hundred people cuing for early entry. This was at least an hour before the doors were even set to be opened.

In they Flooded, Zombies, Assassins, Stormtroopers & I gotta say goodness knows what else. Whatever they were they were certainly colourful. Alas no Transformers though!

The day was busy and as per usual I was locked behind my table for the duration of the event. Starscream, Prime, Deadpool, Batman, the sketches flowed and as always the inability to stand after a day in artistic lockdown.

Telford, see you next year!

MCM MIDLANDS COMIC CON

2/14/2013

I will be at the MCM Midlands Comic Con this Saturday 16th February!

Hope you can make it!

The SFBall Weekend

2/12/2013

So it's Tuesday Night and I am finally in recovery mode from the SFBall weekender. What a grand weekend it was too. With great Guests, Staff & attendees. I don't think a show could possibly be more welcoming and friendly.

I arrived early on Friday afternoon and was kindly picked up at the station, though the event was really only around the corner. Although the Train Journey was a four hour jaunt all in. I guess I could have flown to spain in that time!

But I digress.

I settled in Nice and Early and got myself in my nice comfortable position behind my table. That was the easy part, I am used to it after all.

The guests were all gathered together in the Green Room around 6.00 to prepare for our stage appearance. Alongside Robert Rankin, J.A Saare, Fwah Storm (Reload) Miltos Yerolemou (Game of Thrones) Armin Shimerman (Buffy) Max Grodenchick (Deep Space 9), Star Trek writers Diane Duane, Peter Morewood, & David Gerrold. There was me Burger King in hand, Garbage Pail t-shirt & hoodie. Oh yes of course everyone else was dressed up! What was I thinking? This was a ball after all, then the quickest quick change I have ever done. Shirt + Boots = Tick.

Then all of a sudden I found myself microphone in hand in front of 300 attendees where I did my very best impression of Lee Bradley not being too inappropriate on stage.

After that it all became a blur.... A great weekend of sketching, chatting to fellow Guests, & apparently dancing. So much so that at the closing ceremony I was introduced on stage as Lee 'Snake Hips' Bradley. Unfortunately I could not respond as someone the previous night had decided to steal my voice. I am currently still looking for it.

This is one of the very best conventions I have been invited to. A real family friendly atmosphere where the organizers do there very best to accommodate everyone. From Competitions, Talks, Photo Shoots, Dinner & Dancing. I could not recommend a show enough. So what are you waiting for? Go and check them out, & at the same time help raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
