The Falmouth 24hr Comic: Jack Teagle

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.

Jack Teagle

I am a freelance illustrator currently based in Cornwall. I specialise in creating characters that you want to feel sorry for. When I'm not working on commerical work, I balance my personal work between comics, sketchbooks and paintings. I try to adapt my style and sense of humour to anything I can, from graffiti to tshirts to action figures. I have exhibited paintings and action figures worldwide including, Germany, San Francisco, and London. I love collecting strange action figures, mutants and monsters and weird comics, which feed into my work. My interests and inspirations include: silver-age comic books, pulp fiction, lowbrow art, Hieronymus Bosch, Outsider art, Fletcher Hanks, old science fiction and horror imagery, megadrive games, David Lynch, Gary Panter, Henry Rousseau and Richard Scarry.

Jack Teagle will be joining us at the Falmouth 24Hr Comic challenge.
