SUPANOVA SYDNEY

Wow, what a blast! I attended this Supanova as a "tourist" for the first time in about 5 years, and I still had a great time meeting people. There was so much great local talent at Artist alley this year that really blew me away, a couple of stand outs I thought were David Follet and Greg Holfeld who had some great work on display.

Chris Sequeira managed to get me to talk on a panel regarding Aussie comics, I'm glad it was a last minute invite. (cause I may have lost sleep over it.)

That dork in the red t-shirt is me, with Jan Scherpenhuizen and Chris.


Also I got to catch up with Colin (Star Wars: Invasion) Wilson, who had some interesting theories on the future of comics regarding iphones and other hand held computers. I just got in to hear a talk by Tim Sale who is one of my fav artist, bummer I missed out on meeting him later..

Here's the talented Cefn Ridout, Me, Colin Wilson and Frank Kennedy (who did get to meet Tim Sale AND get a cool sketch from him...)

Big thanks to Ivan for the cool Wolverine t-shirt!

It was great to see you there! Bummer I missed out on seeing your talk, it would have been veddy interestinnk! Great also to meet Cefn and Colin- would have loved to have gone to the pub and chatted longer... with Tim Sale of course. And David Gibbons if he wasn't busy...

thanks for the link to the Tim Sale meeting Marcelo.
that would have to have been the highlight for me on the day. Still doesn't feel real.
Yes Craig, you should have gone but you are definately going to the next one ,Yes?

Dave Gibbons!! I totally missed him too..I'm a damn fool...

Hope you can make next year too Craig!

Hey Marcelo! Fantastic to meet you over the weekend and thanks for all the kudos! If Dave and I gave you a pint for everyone who came to our table saying "Marcelo sent me", you'd be legless!

May we get a chance to conduct that experiment someday soon...

Marcelo Baez said...

Great to meet you too Greg!
And can't wait to see more of your comics...

And I would be legless (very, very quickly..)
