London Super Comic Convention Round Up

I had a great time over the weekend of 23-24 February 2013 at the London Super Comic Con, sat next to my usual table buds Zarina Liew and Van Nim

Thank you to everyone who came along to my table, and especially those of you who bought comics and prints. Much appreciated!

Also had lots of fun doing Lucy the Octopus style commissions

It was very cool meeting David Mack, Klaus Janson and Bill Sienkiewicz there.  I got to see half inked pages of future issues of Daredevil End of Days and listen in as Alex Fitch interviewed them for an upcoming episode of his Panel Borders radio show.
So great to meet creators you’ve admired a long time and have them turn out to be friendly, generous and despite their immense talent, modest.
I drew a Lucy the Octopus style version of David Mack’s creation Kabuki (one of my favourite comics ever) and gave it to him.

Another highlight of the event for me was getting a very cool Buffy sketch from the talented and pleasant to chat to artist of Darkhorse’s Angel & Faith, Rebekah Isaacs.

All in all, a great weekend and start to a year full of cons…
