Tuesday of Creative Futures

Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels

This day being a graphic novelist was probably the most fun yet.  The Talk was given by the very highly known Paul Gravett and his talk was mainly about the state of the comics industry as it stands at the moment. Now this is such a huge subject and most of us think he clearly didnt have enough time to Divulge thoroughly, Which is such a shame because he had a lot of knowledge and well could of easily sat there for a few hours listening pick up artist after artist to look at.  Honestly it was ridiculous the amount of names i took out of that Talk to go and look at.  But yeah such a shame he wasn't given more time but still very interesting talk.  

Later that day we missed boring lectures to Join Paul Gravett and Dan Berry to Draw a giant comic on the uni wall, this was such fun coming up with stories that are taken from the central theme. Very much based from the idea here

This is a crazy comic that has so many varients to the main story and to try to replicate something like this was a joy to work on.

(pictures of it are coming when the site allows me to upload them)
