Thanks! I really must get the pens out again, feeling mildly inspired by Lawless

Some impressive and amusing cosplay too.

Looks like you've got Joe down to me Nightbook. Nice one! Here's my ABC Warriors Art Stars entry, it was fun drawing the droids, and I was fairly happy with them, but my approach to the guns was completely half-arsed. I'll be checking out that video, thanks!

If it's not been mentioned yet a big nod to the exhibition put on by David Roach - what a variety & quality of pages - super stuff and what can I say about that Lego exhibit, awesome stuff

Yeah that exhibition was terrific. I wandered around it about four times. Loved that Bellardinelli Flesh spread. I leafed through most of the David Roach pages, some lovely stuff in there.

The Lego guy said they'd shortly be breaking the whole thing up for their next project - unless someone bought it. They were asking for £3000.

PS GoGilesGo it was me in the Marriott, sorry I don't think I introduced myself!? I blame the exhaustion. Anyway should we meet again it's Jon!

I'm back home, what a great weekend! Thanks to Colin, Luke (Boots) and Charlotte, Craig (Trooper) and Wendy for looking after this convention virgin. Got my first artwork, some convention sketches. Was sorely tempted to get some original 2000ad pages when leafing through work by Fraser, Burns, Weston, Davis, Dorey and Roach but the wallet was already smarting at that point.

Enjoyed the panels, Garth Ennis and Mike Carroll particularly chatty. Boo Cook and John McCrea added some amusing chaos. I didn't catch the Dante walkthrough but it sounded really good too.

Really enjoyed chatting to the creators, all super friendly and happy to chat and they do like a bit of positive feedback as quite often they don't hear much about their work after handing it in to Tharg! And it was an eye opener to hear even Chris Weston express a little dissatisfaction with some of his own work which to these eyes looked eye-bleedingly good.

Haul (with sketches by Austin, Cornwell, Holden, and Fraser):

Mr and Mrs Trooper McFad:

Some Lawless gossip.

John Warner's looking to get another Rok out, in talks with a publisher this time.
Spector's being collected later this year, yay! He's done another HMS nightshade with Dan.

PJ's done more Devlin with Alex.

More Void Runners is planned with Boo, after the upcoming Death Cap.

Simon Davis didn't mind drawing all that horrible stuff in Thistlebone, yes I asked him lol. But he was glad for the naive style for the flashbacks.

And Simon Fraser's potentially got another project with Rob Williams, hope that works out. He and his wife came over from the states for the con. Yikes.

On the train - just going through Bath. It's lovely. Should be there in a bit. Talk of a max signing limit of 3 items for Wagner, Ennis, McMahon and Bolland on the Lawless messenger chat. I've not got anything to sign. Except my T shirt maybe?

Finally had a negative COVID result couple of days ago, which was a relief. I'll be going early tomorrow but still low on energy so I'll be dozing in the corner.

Would love a sketch PJ! I'll try to seek you out.

Dredd makes a surprise appearance in the latest Private Eye:

Intriguing! This is a 3 parter, right?

Because someone has to write, draw, colour & letter that exclusive graohic novel material in addition to the strips running in the Prog & the Meg.

My post near the bottom of the previous page has a link breaking down the maths on that, in case anyone misses it now that we're onto page two of this thread...

That was a helpful informative post Jim. Whatever happened to Drowntown?

A snap from the Vertigo edition for the heck of it. The paper quality is so-so but the repro is OK.

It's the so-so paper quality that stops the colours from over-saturating — I think that looks great, TBH!

Ah! Interesting. I was a bit disappointed with the rough paper but I suppose it's quite similar to the original comic paper? So it's hopefully going to look close to as was original intended. Anyway, it's fine to look at, which is the main thing.
