Best
Convention on the Planet
Hi
Folks,
Well, by the time you read this little promotional missive I shall be en route to the
best convention known to mankind – MALTACOMICCON in the capital city of Valletta
on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Malta.
Over
the past six years I have been invited out a total of seven times by some of
the most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. I feel extremely humbled
and honoured to be in this very privileged position. I now look on the
organisers as great friends whom I visit every year on the run up to Christmas.
Truth
told, my continued involvement with the guys this year, with the passing of my
Mum has given me the impetus to carry on and get back into working again – indeed
it gave me back my deadlines. Although I am still a few days off completing the
final pencils, something I had hoped to pull back in time for the convention, I
have, however completed all the layouts onto the Bristol board and will be
showing those as stats along with the completed pencils for the pages thus far.
To all intents and purposes the second book’s storytelling (the most important thing
for me) is complete at long last. I just wish Mum was here to share that with
me.
I
am looking forward to showcasing and launching 2 NEW products, which will go on
general release upon my return to the UK.
The first is my second Sketchbook: “12 – The Witching Hour”
The
second is as yet a TOP SECRET, other than the Teaser Art below:
I
am excited, as always and cannot wait to meet everyone there.
The
Venue has to be seen to be believed; a medieval fortress with walls so thick you
could not span it with arms outstretched. Little wonder, Malta has never been successfully
invaded and conquered.
With
this year’s events, I was remiss in publishing the Blogs from my notes I created
upon my return from last year’s event. They remain languishing in limbo, but at
some point it would be nice to write them up properly. I will however be
Blogging about this year’s event, again upon my return.
In
the meantime, watch out Twitter Fans for my Tweets – @TimPWizardsKeep – that is, if I can find the
time during the convention. There is so much for folks to see and do there, it’s
finding the time to fit it all in.
Oh, well, I’m off now, but look forward to telling of my exploits on the island this time around, real soon…
