EMS THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA SHOW

I was invited along to The Entertainment Media Show at Earls Court on 1st & 2nd of October. This was my first time at this event and I doubt it will be my last. I enjoyed myself thoroughly at the show.

I was set an interesting challenge by Autograph hunter Tom Milburn. My fellow comic creator and friend John Mccrea who was also in attendance produced an fearsome Alien Sketch for Tom. The challenge was to see if I could create a Predator Sketch of equal scale to sit alongside.

I think they make a fine looking pair if I do say so myself.

Plus here's a couple more random creations from over the weekend.

BRISTOL COMICON 2011

DING DONG!

Earlier this year I was a Guest at one of the longest running comic conventions in the UK. The Classic Bristol Comic Expo. Set in the Hotel Foyer of the Ramada Plaza, mainly Id guess as the biggest part of the con is the bar and the easy access to it. What is nice here is how easily the fans and artists can mix. There is always someone interesting to talk to. It quite understandable how the bar never empties before 4 in the morning.


Here are a few pics of the sketches I produced over the weekend. As per usual I am pretty useless at remembering to take pictures of most of my sketches. I usually remember in the closing hours of the show. So no pictures of Mysterio or Claw here. Or the multitude of other characters I had the fun and good fortune to draw.


When I do take pictures they have a tendency to suffer from the classic camera shake.

Then again I'm an artist not a photographer.


As always there are the usual suspects I am asked to roll out. Though I do love drawing Transformers. What is nice about the Bristol show is that I always get the chance to try my hand at few of the more classic Marvel stable. Here is my Sabertooth Sketch I did for Baden, not bad for a first attempt.


He should fit right in with Mr Fixit.

THE BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL COMIC SHOW

SECONDS OUT... ROUND 4

I had a great time at the First Birmingham International Comic show. When I say 1st I refer to the new location, so much easier to get to. Only a one day event this year, just above my old stomping ground Nostalgia and Comics.

As per usual I had little time to look around, none in fact as I molded like a manakin to the seat. An animatronic one at that, with a nodding head and movable right arm with just enough motion to power through the sketches requested.


As the energy I required was provided by Wine Gums. I later found the nutrition I needed to recover more satisfying than ever.

Though the beer itself was quite expensive.


I enjoyed the sketching and the chat's so a big thank you to all those that came over for either.

AUTO ASSEMBLY 2011

AUTO ASSEMBLY 2011 was fantastic experience. I was invited to Europe's biggest TRANSFORMERS Convention alongside the other Artists & Voice Actors. In amongst the Toy Dealers and the vast array of Transfans their was also a large contingent of Cosplayers, who had clearly spent a large amount of time and effort on their creations.

With so many different Transformers Universes and alternate versions of characters there was never a shortage of Transformers to sketch.

On the Saturday night the Cosplay competition winners that came respectively in places 1st and 2nd were Haley & Pete dressed in their fantastic creations as Black Arachnia & Drift. Here they are in their awesome Cosplay Costumes alongside the Sketch that I produced for them.



Where ever I turned there was no escaping Optimus Prime and his friends. At times I even thought I was seeing double. Now I've seen the photos I can clearly see I was. So clearly the night at the bar had nothing to do with it.


The convention was fun and well run as always thanks to Simon Plumbe and his great team that band together to bring their interests to life for the benefit of all.

Well done guys and gals.


Here are a selection of the sketches I produced over the weekend and some of the fine folks that received them.

Just click on a pic to take a closer look.
