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.

3pm - 19 1/2 hours to go!

My first thought for 3.15pm is that time is going very fast. Very fast, surely it was 11am a few minutes ago?
My second thought is that we have some pages on the walls!


I'm not actually sticking work up here, just some lovely name labels with everyone's biography. I was quite surprised there's wall space for everyone, but so far it looks good.

Also, Joel came in to do some drawing;


But he very shortly got a comic block and had to go for some fresh air. He left us with this quite amazing character sheet though, so I hope he comes back like he said he might.
Everyone is still beavering away, it's quite fun to look over their shoulder.

The view over Richard Dinnis' shoulder

If you do visit us today please don't feel awkward about looking over the artists shoulders. They like it. Honestly.

Marcel O' Leary's shoulder

Also, on more personal note everyone seems to have had some lunch. Which I'm happy about as I was getting a little bit mother hen worrying that they weren't going to have enough energy. I don't have any pictures of the lunch though, sorry.
