MCM LONDON COMIC CON REVIEW

5/29/2013

I can draw Prime and Megatron in my sleep. Though I honesty I always still enjoy drawing both. Spiderman verses Michelangelo was one of the more unusual requests, but also a lot of fun to do. This along with Harley Quinn verses Optimus Prime was one of my favorites.

(Yes that's right, Harley Quinn vs Optimus Prime!)

Unfortunately my camera decided to quit on me. Many of the pictures came out blurred and many others decided not to work at all. Time for new equipment I think, it has served me well over it's time, bless it.

The thing I really like about these shows are the people I meet. Everyone is friendly and everyone does there best to go out of there way to be nice to each other. All those on the outside that make disparaging remarks about these sort of shows or the people that attend, shame on them, the people with bad attitudes ruin things for themselves. That is probably why they are so bitter.

I got to say I enjoyed the hell out of this show, even if it has taken the last two days to recover from it!

There was several cool things from this weekend for me, doing a Spiderman as Sherlock Sketch Cover, which Dan Slott the writer of Spiderman re-tweeted:

All in all what a great show and what great people. Although I came away exhausted at the end of it, Ive also come away reinvigorated from the fantastic feedback and responses from con goers and fans alike.

While people enjoy the work and gain pleasure from it, who am I to deprive them. It would be Criminal!

Here's a few of the happy folks I sketched for, apologies to those not on here, I will make sure I have a fully working Camera with me next time!

MCM London Comic Con. Every time I think a show has reached a new limit, out comes another show and pulls the rug from under my perceptions. I arrived early on Friday for set-up and I am glad I did. The pressure of Setting up and interacting with the public on a Saturday morning whilst also trying to sketch is something best avoided. Making Friday the best time to be prepared for the weekend ahead.

My what a weekend, I've seen busy before and this was something else. I did this same show at the same time last year, but this had to be a new record. A few people told me they had been queuing from 11.00 until 2.00 just to get in the main hall, & I gotta say that is dedication!

The nice thing about doing these shows is the complete mix of requests I receive. It makes it challenging, but it also pushes me out of my comfort zone. I gotta say this time I felt I took the sketches to a new level. I spent a bit more time on each, but felt it was well worth it overall.

I had a lot of fun, due to the challenging requets!

Also getting a Gift of a Wolverine Sketch from Callum Crabb aged 6, whilst wearing his Spiderman Outfit. He has one of my sketches above his desk, keep up the good work Callum!

Added to that a lovely message from Andrew Fernandes on my Facebook wall:

Lee Bradley was such a complete and utter gent when meeting him at Comic con London. Such a talented artist that I admire and respect! Lee was so approachable and encouraging with the work I had to show - his feedback and advice really left me inspired. I'm going to work much harder at making my dream a reality!
Check out this amazing piece of art he drew for me! Optimus Prime! — with Lee Bradley.

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.

EMS AFTERSHOW OCT 6TH - 7TH

10/10/2012

This weekend was my second time as a Guest at the EMS show. For the uninitiated, that's The Entertainment Media Show, not Emergency Medical Services or any other variation that may pop into mind. I had a 5.20am start, early for me so I was glad I actually got there just before the doors opened to the general public.

I was situated in amongst a line of other Artists and friends, sandwiched directly between two writing legends, Dan Slott (Amazing Spider-Man & Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-men). It was was great to chat with two writers I admire and to also find out they were great guys to boot.

There was a nice mix of media guests at the show, it was good to see Dean Cain chatting away and being charming to everyone and Matt Smith the 11th Doctor carrying a pair of boxing gloves, that he got Frank Bruno to sign. I also saw a few familiar faces and a some new ones.

I had the usual mix of Transformers and Superhero requests, I also got to draw the Ninja Turtles and a nifty Nightcrawler.

Although it was slow on the Sunday the company more than made up for it. I had fun with the Cosplayers, and got the Uncanny Chris Claremont to sign my well read X-men book.
Which more than made up for it.

Who can ask for more?
