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.

The Aftermath

I thought I'd just post some of my thoughts after the fact.

All the work has been stripped from inside The Poly. All that remains is a smell of budget energy drinks and painful ink. I apologise sincerely to the artists who had to endure my slow descent into madness, but I see this as a light-hearted lifeline of relief. Much like Richard O'Brien in The Crystal Maze. It was humbling to see the artists still staring at paper after all those hours and they did us proud. Professional, committed and dedicated to the singular event. As if scribbling to save us all.

I would like to thank them all. Also The Poly, Feast, Martin Coote, Source FM, Cally Gibson, Sara Bowler and, of course, Philippa Rushworth.

All thats left to do is close the books and sort the legacy of this fine event. Keep checking this blog for more updates, as we have some ideas to repeat, but more presently, to collate the work in a publication. So three cheers for this particular brassy strut!

Regards,
Thomas Sharpe
