Webcomix thing March 2010, DONE

I've written up our experience of the UK Webcomix thing event over on the webcomic site: http://www.wychwolf.com

SO nip over there and have a read.

I'll also post the "interlude" I drew for the flyers on http://www.wychwolf.com probably tomorrow.

It was great fun, Dom and Adam are both talking about what we should do for next year.

I learned a couple of tips from artists whose work I admire, and it was a generally good day out.

I did take along the tablet PC, so I could practice with Manga Studio between visitors, but it misbehaved itself, and conked out crashing and losing the picture Dom was drawing... but he had another go, and created a sad Octobird.

I've printed off some flyers for the UK Webcomix thing, that are a mix of 2 "interlude" pages for the Wychwolf story, a page from Adam's novelisation, and one page from Dom's story, hecklr.

I've printed off several sheets of stickers to hand out to those with webcomics passports, and I've printed a few pages on shiny paper so we have something to put on the table.

I've also put up a second page for the Wychwolf story on the site, I'm not sure if I'll have time to put up a third picture before tomorrow, but obviously we "update on Mondays":

Webcomix thing March 2010, getting closer

This weekend was the last call for submissions to the UK webcomix thing anthology.

The theme this year is dinosaurs, I decided to link in my submission to the prologues to the story I'm pulling together for the event: "Wychwolf", and created a very short 2 page skit, about evil nazi scientists being too clever for their own good.

Adam has posted the first of the transcripts of the original prologues, so we are slowly getting there.

Just waiting for Dom to get some dinosaurs drawn.

Webcomix thing March 2010

Just connected up the Google Buzz feed to all my multifarious hoses ... thought I'd do a quick post to see how it works.

So the webcomix thing on 27th March, we have a table, and we have 2 comics.

My effort is Wychwolf, a tale of evil Nazi scientists, medical experiments, and pyramids, in leafy wartime Sussex...with none of the old guff you might find in a Dan Brown howler.

Dom's effort also seems to be slightly Nazi based.. which now I come to think of it is a bit of worry...

Adam is writing a transcript of my story to make the comic more accessible.

Comic Thing 2010

Have signed up for a table at Comic Thing 2010, http://ukwebcomixthing.co.uk/index.php

The idea being that if we have a real point in space and time that we have to get something finished for, it is much more likely to happen. Dom (my younger son, aged 13) is going to help work on the Project.

Adam (my older, feckless teen 16), has offered to write a script for Dom to draw... so it's going to be a family affair.

When we launched "Strange Biros" at the UKCAC 1991, we took along a wad of comics, and sold a few, had a great time talking to other creators... all that and the guys I went with were dressed as characters, Paul as Judge Death, and Adrian, as someone purple...I seem to remember we drove up in Adrian's Classic Ginormous white Merc.

I'm not sure I can rekindled that level of oddness, but it should be a good day out.
