As the 16th hour approaches the artists are either getting their second wind or winding down. Here’s a little sampling:
Jobeth’s adventure (anime)
This is Geoffrey Glore’s epic Roman story
Robert W. 
Brunelle’s Super Heroine Story “Bella Lacose, the ill-tempered super hero”
Julia and her mom Diana, back for round 2 after their break.
Here’s Jim, so immersed in his work he doesn’t notice the camera…
Jobeth, surrounded with pages upon pages & determined to finish.
Mr Robert Waldo Brunelle,Jr !
Karen and her awesome paint box set-up. 
Rick and friends.
Geoffrey in mid-sketch…
Kristin here again. We’re seven hours into the scribbling. A few have had to leave, but there’s still a strong core group plugging away.
I wanted to take a minute to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to one of our food sponsors, for I just came back on shift to find everyone happily fed by the folks over at the Vermont Sandwich Company here in Williston (802) 878-6963. VT Sandwich donated two platters of fantastic sandwiches, Wow! Thank you!
If anyone’s interested, I can heartily recommend the Crop Duster wrap.
Caffeine is sure to be the next step, so we’ll be cracking into our Bawls caffeine drinks soon.
Thanks also to Holbein for donating a huge stack of Maxon goodies for participants to use. The comic pattern sheets (wax transfer) are really wild, and it’ll be cool to see what they create with them. 340+ patterns!!!??!!! Too tempting.
Another veteran on the lower-left there, plus a mother-daughter team (mom draws, daughter is doing the script.)
The preparation continues for this year’s event. More host sites are signing up. We hope to have the new web-site up soon. This will include all of the information on what is involved in hosting. Look for more frequent postings on the blog as we get closer
Some of the basics….
Historically host sites have been comic book stores, libraries, and art schools. What is needed is a place where the artists can have a place to work. Obviously tables and chairs are a must. Each site should have a place where the artists can take a nap or break. Cots, couches, bean bag chairs, even beds are a bonus.
Start times of the event vary from site to site, but at least part of the event must be held on the actual date (this year October 18th).
Please feel free to ask any questions (yes, there is a FAQ page in the works). Thanks!
