24 Hours From Q-Town: HOUR 4

Hi Kids!

Sometime during Hour 3,  Andy Kuhn, world famous artist (Google him) dropped by. He’s been a friend and supporter of 7000 BC longer than I have. He checked out Ben Girven’s cintiq drawing tablet. Andy’s always been a pen, ink, and paper kind of guy, but he seems to be very interested. Ben told me that he increased his productivity tremendously since he invested in the cintiq, and I’ve heard that from other artists, too.

Jeff (that’s Jeff behind Andy) just told me that we have 26 people creating comics. Good turnout!

And now…

PROGRESS!

24 Hours From Q-Town: HOURS 2 and 3

Hi Kids!

 

We’re coming to you from Kaboom Test Labs West.

We have many more folks to thank, like f’rinstance:

 

Trader Joe’s in Uptown, Albuquerque, who just let us run through the store and pick what we wanted.

Winning Coffee, who provided a veritable vat of coffee, and another vat of hot water and all the fixin’s, on the fly, Jeff said,  since we gave them the wrong date. They graciously supported our needs anyway. Winning has been a long time friend of 7000 BC, sometimes letting us hold our monthly meetings there.

Lobo Anime and Comics, my personal Local Comic Shop for the last 8 years. Henry donated 10 ea. $10 gift certificates for us to award as raffle prizes, and he didn’t even ask me to sign for them. You can also pick up our 7000 BC member’s comics at the shop, too.

Twin Suns Comic Books & Gaming Center, who gave us a $20 gift certificate wrapped around a Monster energy drink (that will come in handy for the lucky winner). Thanks to Josh and Drew Allred, the aforementioned twin sons and owners.

We also have a satellite contingent of comic artists, Mike, Nathan, and Jeff, who are at an undisclosed location but are sending me pictures of their progress. Here they are, from left to right, Mike, Nathan, and Jeff:

I’ll be running around taking pictures of all the creativity and getting them to you as soon as I can.

Ben has posted a U-Stream video (with audio) that will be running for the entire 24 hours, so if you just don’t have enough to do, you can watch us here:

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our sponsors:

Kaboom Test Labs, who gave us a place to sweat (to quote Deep Purple in “Smoke on the Water”…) check them out here!

Jason’s Deli, who provided us with delicious sandwiches, chips, and pickles to fuel our quest.

There are more, but I just realized that we are an hour in and I haven’t posted yet!

 

Back soon with hour 2…

Be Well,

Your pal,

Chuck
