Well its the morning after and to be honest I had a rather enjoyable day as a guest artist at a FCBD event. I was joined by another artist and designer, Richard Livingston (Battlestar Gallactica) was also there along with the guys of D&B Comics. The crowd wasn't as huge as it would have been were it at a comics store but it was ok. The staff of the Alafaya Library were very kind and courteous and provided enough work space for us.
A lot more kids than I thought turned up, and this was a library on a Saturday, so it was kind of refreshing to see that kids are still visiting the library system these days what with video games and computers ruling the world now. I was on hand to meet and greet, show some of my artwork off, educated a little along the way showing the pages of comic art before they are shrunk down to print proportions. Had a video interview conducted by a gentleman starting off his vid series on youtube-(will post a link once its up).
I also did free sketches for anybody that wanted one, did quite a few actually for the children who were initially a little shy about the whole thing and with Superman and Batgirl walking around to distract them. One little girl was actually kind enough to draw me a sketch in crayon-so we traded art for art...so all in all a pretty good day.
Afterwards despite being a bit tired we all went and watched "THOR" at the nearby cinema, it was also good.
I might do this on a regular basis from now on if the invites keep coming...we'll see.
Peace,
