And what's going on?
COLLABORATIVE DRAWING GAMES: for everyone, all ages, all levels or artistic experience. Get stuck in!
Draw-a-panel-pass-it-on jam comics - classic format! Everyone must join in!
Foldie-mini-comics - we will be dispensing knowledge of the secret mystical art of folding up one A4 piece of paper with no staples to make an A7 booklet. Very mystical.
Broken Telephone - someone draws a picture. Then someone writes a description of it. Then someone draws a picture based on the description. Then someone writes a description of that picture. And so on - but in each instance, the page is only based on the immediately prior page. In theory, it's the same each time, BUT THIS NEVER HAPPENS, it always mutates.
Comics robots GO! - the inevitable rise of our future mechanical overlords will also involve sequential art. Paul has constructed mechanical wonders that will set challenges for you puny human artists. The first robot will draw a random panel layout for you...
And his brand new creation (to be revealed for the first time at this event) will randomise a theme for you. Incredible! Now, human art minions - OBEY! CREATE COMICS!
