Sketch-a-thon

Ms Marvel by Andie TongThis 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.
