Millar's KaPow Comic Con London - April 9th n 10th

Some sketches

ranging from 60 seconds to 60 minutes!

I saw Chris Weston doing this while I was waiting to talk to him, he was really giving it his all, amazing to watch the guy work.

Okay folks, here are the sketches that I managed to gather. I didn't get any on the Saturday at the Con, too busy enjoying chats with people and also being Dredd, so I started in the Pub, with this highly talented bunch off here!
I bought a new A5 sketch journal especially for this event and all future forum gatherings and pub meets!

Conor does Dredd and the pressure was on being the first.


KevLev does Hershey (my favourite hairstyle and with the eye make up of another style I like)


El Chivo moves into Johnny mode and shows how easy it is to draw (stop it) Johnny's helmet!


SuperSurfer comes up with the Superfiend and can't stop adding detail until we have to force him to stop.


An excellent start to this new sketchbook, who will be next at the next drinking session?

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Now the actual con sketches. I just realised that I did get one on Saturday, so that's first!

David Ballie sat near the 2000AD stand, very clever!


Clint Langley who was just going to lunch as I collared him.


Huy Truong favourite of the weekend and going for a fun commission in the near future


Ben Willsher after this me and Pete were basically thrown out of the con, as they were shutting up

[Cpt Rhodes]

Some belting sketches there. I'm sooooo jealous.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Now for the Sunday pics!

Guy meets some strange bugger!


And then ate him!

steady on now CF!

I've seen the purple guitar chick in lots of photos - id she have to stand in one place all day or did she drag that massive amp around with her? And who is she supposed to be?

[Kerrin]

Great sketches and photos John!

I did actually ask a question along those lines during the 2000AD panel Phil. If funds allowed, did the panel think a 2000AD publication aimed at younger readers would be a good idea? Didn't really get much of an answer, though Dave Gibbons did say how it was odd that comics used to be aimed at 10-13 year olds and now they were mostly aimed at adults. I'm for it myself but the amount of money needed makes it a moot point.

Though that's the market that Strip is going for isn't it? Hopefully with the international backing it has to get going they can prove this wrong. Of course the question will then be can the market sustain two such comics!

Absolutely Colin! I'd forgotten about Strip when I wrote that. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's like and I'll more than likely buy a few to dish out to mate's kids. Pester power! Is the plan to have it ready for Bristol? I've lost track of what the release date is now.

How unforgivably sexist of you, CF! I notice all the MEN get their names recorded- yet we have "Cosplay women", as if they are nothing but nameless pieces of MEAT   for you to drape yourself over! You should be ashamed!

She was in one place - I think she was doing it for some Guitar Hero type game.

Deadpool Girl
Black Cat Girl
Guitar Hero type Girl

[Pete Wells]

Guitar girl was in one place all day and surprisingly, I found myself in that place lots of the time, drool....

[Jim_Campbell]

Unbelievable. Guinness World Records actually has a piece about the record attempt on YouTube and feckin' Burdis is in it more than I am!

Gaah!

Jim

[JOE SOAP]

He's in it more than the supposed 'comic' which I see no actual proof of?

There's a PDF of it sitting on my hard drive. The clock stopped when I assembled and saved down the last page.
