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.

Page 24, finished at 9.10 am

Hurrah!

Richard Dinnis Pages 17 - 20

Richard finished all these pages sometime between 6.00 in the morning an his finishing time of 9.10am. This happened to co-incide with the period of 'no time recording' where all times where simultaneously one and none at all. Basically, I don't know when they were finished. Sorry.

100th post final photo dump

looking fresh faced and smelling like roses at 10.30am on Wednesday
from l-r: Jenny Naylor, Marcel O'Leary, Amy Brazier, Faye Simms, Robert Fresson, Tom Sharpe, Jack Teagle, Phil Rushworth (myself), Josh Bone, Laura Elliot and Jake Rowlinson.

I can't believe how many posts we made during our mammoth 24hr + bloggathon. I know we've slowed the pace a little now but there are still more comic pages to come so don't despair.

I just wanted to share with you some images of our cast of characters at 10.30 in the morning, after working for 24 hours. Apologies to Laura Elliott, her picture has got lost in the computersphere somewhere. We'll find it though..

The first to finish: the comic making machine that is Jake Rowlinson

Hot on his heels, Mr. Jack Teagle.

The very dapper Robert Fresson

Jenny Naylor and her very awesome stamp (stamp not shown)

Introducing the talented Amy Brazier

The very funny Mr. Richard Dinnis

Ms. Faye Simms, with her sterling effort

The terrific Marcel O'Leary

And finally, the incredibly perservering Josh Bone and his table of paper. This was taken at 10.28am. It was very very close!

Jake had time to have a nap and knock up this bonus title page. That's the way you rock a 24hr comic challenge.
