Demoncon – Thanks to All

I’m somewhat late in writing this, but then again what is new for me on this Blog. also this is only the first blog of thanks. All the non comic folk’ll be in part 2
Our inaugural DEMONCON was a roaring success, far exceeding my initial expectations (123 attendees, nearly £4000 spent cumulatively), leaving me owing a lot of thanks to a lot of people, so here goes, in no particular order.

Writers and Artists

DEMONCON – Candleman will be there

Great poster for Demoncon, kindly drawn for us by Candleman creator, Chris Phillips.
Candleman will be there on the 1st of May – Will you?

DEMONCON – 1ST MAY

Preliminary poster for the May 1st DEMONCON. Kindly drawn for us by Jack Lawrence who’ll be selling his new comic “Tinpot Hobo” on the day, with the text work added by shop regular Robert Parham. This would have been the final poster design other than the fact I failed to mention The Grinning Demon or add contact details anywhere on the poster. D’Oh!
Rob is therefore re-working it for me and it should be up and printed shortly.

Sketch 7 – Nigel Dobbyn
I have to be honest I only knew Nigel from his work on Fleetway’s Sonic comic and even then only vaguely. However when I requested a sketch for Cam in his Gotham book, he agreed to do a piece for us FOC, although we did have to find a reference so that the costume was correct. Throughout the drawing process he chatted with Cam and myself, explaining art techniques. The end result wasn’t one of Camerons favourites, however I REALLY love it. It’s clean, cute and i also like the fact that the initial structuring pencils are still visible underneath. One of my favourites of the weekend.
