The Falmouth 24hr Comic
10.30 am Tuesday 24th of November - 10.30am Wednesday 25th of November
The Poly, Falmouth
On the 24th of November a group of artists, illustrators and photographers will be challenging their creativity and stamina. With no preparation and very little sleep, they will have just 24 hours to complete 24 pages of illustrated narrative inspired by a local story
The event is open to the public to see the artists working and view the pages as they are completed. There is even opportunity to challenge yourself to create a timed comic.
The Falmouth 24hr Comic is funded by FEAST, a new programme to make great art happen in Cornish villages and towns. Their main focus is to bring communites together to take part in creative activities.
The results will be displayed at The Poly until Saturday the 28th on November.
There will be a follow up exhibition at The Soup Galley, Truro in December.

10.30am - no hours left!
Everyone's quite relieved to be finished, but frankly I'm a little sad. Not too sad though, I don't know how much longer we would have lasted.
We have six completed comics, which, with my basic maths skills, means a 60% success rate.
Jenny Naylor finished and stamped her last page at 8.06am.
Amy Brazier mission it towards the end and finished at 9.52.
She was closely followed by Richard Dinnis who finished his last page 9.10am.
And there's still more to come, you can still look forward to finished comics by Faye Simms, Laura Elliott, Marcel O'Leary and Josh Bone.
You might have forgotten about Josh Bone, he's been working on all his pages at once, and you haven't seen any of his work yet. He's literally been racing against the clock to get some stuff to put on the walls. He got rained on. He's been through hell, basically.
We're very behind on scanning and posting, as you can see. I have to go and catch up and tidy up so you won't hear much for a couple of hours. Expect some major blogging this afternoon though as the rest of the work goes up.
Tom Barwick is also starting his challenge today in Plymouth. He dropped by this morning to say hi and pick up his copy of the story. Hopefully we'll get news from him at some point to.
Well, this is goodbye for now. Everyone is off for a sleep.
I can't say enough how pleased we are that everyone did such a good job. I'd like to just quickly thank all the artists, FEAST and everyone that dropped by. Especially the artists, they've been such troopers and professional to the end.
It's been a pleasure.
I'm going to go now before it gets emotional. More comic pages and badly resolutioned phone pictures to come ladies and gents.
