Sketch-a-thon

This weekend I once again had the pleasure of helping out my favourite charity organisation; Draw the World Together run a charity Sketch-a-thon at the Bristol International Comics Expo.

After a long and somewhat eventful car journey with my friend and fellow comic show cohort Stephen Reid we arrived in Bristol and, Clip-board in hand, I spent the rest of the afternoon taking down sketch requests for a team of some of the best comic book artists in the UK.

In total an amazing £696.61 was raised for the charity.

Personally speaking though the weekend was even more of a success as not only did I get to hang out with the likes of Andrew Wildman, David Lloyd, Stephen Baskerville, Lee Bradley, Neil Edwards, Laura Howell, Kat Nicholson, Jason Cardy and Andie Tong but I had an amazing curry in the company of some excellent fellows including Mr Simon Furman AND I finally managed to pin Andie Tong down and get an awesome sketch of Ms Marvel done (which you can see above ^^).

For a more detailed chronological account head over to Stephen’s blog for the full blow by blow.

Back in Black

It seems I am to be amongst the victims of corporate restructuring at NCsoft with my role as Senior Graphic Designer being made redundant.

So now I start the somewhat daunting task of finding a new job. In the interim I will be looking for Freelance work, so if you have any requirements for work or a project that needs my skills please get in touch via the information supplied in the Contact section.

A White Christmas

It gives me great pleasure that one of the Brighton in Snow shots that I took back in April 2008 is going to be used on this years NCsoft Christmas card.

Will is handling the execution, and so far it’s looking really good.

Here’s the shot he’s using of the Royal Pavilion:

Outstanding!

I am now one of the proud recipients of a big shiny award from last nights Digital Media Awards: South!

The award is for “Outstanding Digital Design” and was awarded for the site Discover Lineage II of which I had a [more than] large part in producing (I did all the design work don’t you know).

Here are some photos of the whole event.

Dalek Love

Just got back from spending the weekend manning the NCsoft booth at Memorabilia with the rest of the NCsoft Events Crew.

As usual I was onhand to run the Photo Booth collecting money for the Everychild charity but when not snapping away or processing photos i got to hang out with my friends Kat Nicholson and Jason Cardy who were sketching like mad for Draw the World Together.

My favourite shot of the show has to be this one of the lovely Mia Navellou in her guise as a Guild Wars Ranger giving some much needed love to a poor lonely Dalek… Ahhhh!
