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.

YOUTUBE MCM BIRMINGHAM COMICON

With a brief interlude between posts, here's a quick interview with me at the MCM Comiccon

MCM MEMORABILIA & COMIC CON

3/18/2013

Another Weekend, another show though this time it was local. The Memorabilia show was the 1st venue I ever sketched in Public. Though this was way back when The 'Draw The World Together' Charity was there sponsored by NCSOFT. Back then I was drawing under the charities banner with requests from City of Heroes.

SUPERGIRLS

Fast Forward the last few years and the Memorabilia has now become the MCM Birmingham Comic Con. Although the name Memorabilia and branding is still there, how long will it last?

All I know is the Show didn't just seem busier, it was busier. More people were in attendance at the show than I have seen in many years. With long cues to get into the venue and an interesting crowd of new younger people added in to the mix. Many of the people I had spoke to had never been to the show before, this was there 1st time at the MCM show and the 1st time they had attended a Comic Con. It was great to see so many were in awe of the event.

I was kindly asked to draw a nice mix of sketches, a few of which are posted on here. Some I forgot to photograph, such as a Tubby Dr Octopus wearing a Superior Spider-Man suit that didn't quite fit. I enjoyed Drawing Howard the Duck's alter egos, plus others such as Zombie Prime & Supergirl.

A good show and I met some great people in the process. All in all a very successful weekend!

10/29/2012

Being prepped on the friday was a good way to prepare for the Saturday, because it was Insane! Locked in place for the day there was no let up. Sketch followed Sketch, each different and diverse yet equally challenging.

There were a few of the regular requests, Optimus Prime, Spider-man, Venom, but I was kept in check with
some of the sketches that were asked for.

Wether it be Cat-woman on Red:

MOVIE FrenZY "Not G1!"

Or even a portrait of a quirky young lady with the'EYE of SAURON' on her head. :)

Yep I sketched it all.

This Event seems to get bigger and better with every show and the cosplay has now become such an integral part, it now also seems to be filtering into my sketches. I guess the show now just would not be the same without it.

Okay, what do I say about this last weekend?
Well, I had a lot of fun :)

A big part of which was down to the great people that attend these shows. Opposite is The Scooby Gang from Mystery Inc. that helped look after my wears while I went on a secret mission.

Shhh can't tell you, it's a secret.

What I can tell you about is the show. I decided to travel down and attend the friday as it had an early opening from 2-7. Straight away I was sketching, and one of the early sketches set the tone for the weekend. Hulk vs. Steam-punk Chicken on a burning train. Ok' I can do that.

As seen below :D
