MANCHESTER MCM EXPO REVIEW

7/25/2012

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!

LFCC 2012 AFTERMATH

7/15/2012

Last weekend I was an Invited Comic Guest at the London Film & Comic Con. Originally I intended to only be there on the Saturday, but the show was so good I traveled back up to the Kensington Olympia in London for a second helping.

This was also my second time at the show but in new much larger venue. The guest list was fantastic and so was the public that attended. I met many regulars but also a whole new host of people that were great fun to chat to.

I had the chance to sketch on demand many of my favorite characters and and a selection of the more unusual that I do not quite remember doing before.

I always enjoy a challenge.

One of these days I will actually take a look around one of these shows I am invited too. When I get chance!

Here is a small selection of the pictures I drew, and some of those I sketched for.
