General / Re: 2000AD Forum Sketch Comp #4: SPECIAL BOLT-01 EDITION
« on: 28 May, 2021, 11:05:21 PM »
I met Dave in 2007 at my first ever con in Bristol, before that we'd been chatting away on the 2000AD Forum for years. I was LARF he was Bolt-1. I'd been through a rough few months in my life and I had to push myself to go, I was very nervous and worried about being a wallflower through the entire weekend. Dave invited me to come out with him and some others for a beer and food, and every con thereafter that's how it was. Two like-minded middle aged men, obsessed with a comic from their childhood that had shaped their lives since the late 1970's, staying awake till the wee hours drinking over priced beer in hotel bars and getting excited about art, stories, fantastic flights of sci-fi & fantasy, and all else that fell into the cracks in our lives between cons. A wonderfully kind, generous, caring and considerate Squaxx Dek Thargo that I will greatly miss. Rest in peace mate. Splundig vur Thrigg.

Sorry folks been absolutely snowed under with work and I thought it was today. Either way been in work all day today and was planning on doing a piece this afternoon, but after a fallow year early on things have picked up and unfortunately I have to prioritise. I'll see if I can get something created before the 24th.

It was the story of a Spanish artist (not Carlos) who misinterpreted the instruction, "he waves his prosthetic arm high in the air." or something suchlike...

oh, and I forgot other highlights - Bolt's walk on part in the Stront movie... quite literally
Connor Boyle getting the Hook Jaw gig, so well deserved and an incredible achievement, cannot wait to see this!!!
Discussing the possibilities of Barnyard Assemble with Lady Festina
Giggling like a school boy with Paul Cornell at the floor titles in the elevator at the Armouries...
The well deserved winners of the pitch fests...
etc. etc. etc.

Well what do you know, I've made my first post on the board for a while thanks to Thought Bubble, probably my best con in a very, very long while - such lovely folks, and what a fantastic community we have - we should all be proud!
The highlight has to be the Stront private screening on Saturday night, to be sat in there watching it with John Wagner in the audience was quite a moment. Huge thanks to Steve Green, Dan and the crew for that!
Great to meet Proudhuff and the Neils for the first time as well as catch-up with old friends, esp. Dunc and the Bolts who I spent a great Saturday night with chewing the fat. John and Pete are always good for a laugh, the Morecambe and Wise of 2000AD fandom, and it was lovely to meet them again as well.
Highlights were meeting John Wagner for the first time (You have to read ROK of the Reds it's brilliant! It's like Skizz but in a whole new league), Paul Cornell (who by the way has written a fantastic series of books: London Falling, highly recommended), Philip Bond (who I really fan gushed to which removed any street cred that I had) and a huge mention must be to the lovely Matt Brooker who drew me a strotnig Nemesis!
Anyone else who I forgot to mention apologies, too many great folk out there, but I love you all!
