Last weekend Sarah and I attended Birmingham International Comic Show 2008 - hosted at the Think Tank – and had a very good time. Admittedly we were a tad disappointed when we first arrived as it wasn’t as extensive as we’d pictured. But once we’d looked at the list of lectures being given by famous artists and writers from the industry, we realised there was actually a lot that we could get out of it.
1. Sarah sketching on the train. 2. Our hotel room. 3. View from the balcony.
4 & 5. More views from the balcony. 6. The Think Tank.
7 & 8. Think Tank interior. 9. My flash fails me in the main hall.
10. The smaller hall. 11. “God, are you still here?” asks Sarah.
We came away from the weekend with lots of ideas for improving our own webcomic, and as we had only been running for a few weeks we’ve decided to start again from the beginning.
One of the most interesting parts of the weekend for us was talking to independent comic writers and artist who had their own stalls. Sarah and I have set ourselves the objective of returning without our own stall in two years time. Maybe we’ll see you there…?
