BLART: Design a god for the Swansea Comics Collective

-Mark Tranter

Ooh, this was a tough one, it was the first blart I missed and I still haven't completed it. I know there were a couple more done but they haven't been handed in yet. I'll add them as they trickle in...

After saying all that, what a awesome job Tranter did on his piece. It was a real surprise that he had elevated us
to divine status (and blown our secret identiies in the process ;). From top left that's me and Mark 'Son of Ken' Hughes then Mark Tranter, Lee Philips, Adam Wilmot, Rob Taylor and Ricky Webber, the Illuminati of the SCC. Kudos to Rob Taylor for his sterling colouring job.

UPDATE

-Lee Philips

At last, one of my favourite blarts ever. I had to drive around to his house and pick it up to scan but it's here. I love the rain cloud on his head, the expression, the pot belly, ah, you get the picture...

Another reason, I like these blarts so much is that they are original pieces and not based on another companies character. Probably, why we had less take-up on this one but definitely worth the extra effort. Well done, guys.

COMIC BLITZ - more comic workshops at Swansea Museum

We're running more comic creating workshops at Swansea Museum this coming half term. The workshops have been organised as part of the exhibition at the museum commemorating the 70 year anniversary of the Swansea Blitz. The Swansea Blitz was the heavy and sustained bombing of Swansea by the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany on 19 February-21 February 1941. Local witnesses of the event will be visiting to share their experiences and The Swansea Comics Collective hopes to record and document some of their stories in comic form.

The workshops are free and open to all ages with all materials provided.
FEBUARY 19th, 20th, 22nd, 24th at 11am-3pm.

Help us promote the event by downloading and displaying the poster


See you there!

BLART: Nightcrawler

I'm well behind on posting the blarts, for some reason Blogger has started being awkward about linking to the larger versions of our blarts. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd appreciate the help. That said I'll try and get the backlog up quick and stay on schedule this year. Thanks to all who have visited in 2010 and onwards into 2011...

I had a blast doing my blart of Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series for this week, I did it using Sketchbook Mobile on my iPhone while sat on a beach in Majorca. Bliss. It was a popular pick and there are a few more Deaths which will be added whenever the respective artists press send...

Next up... Lobo!
