Recap: 24 Hours Comics Day in Interior Alaska

Posted on October 22, 2012 by 24HCD Previous Years

Just posted an account (link here) of yesterday’s event at The Comic Shop in Fairbanks, AK over on the Ink & Snow blog.

We had an excellent time, with many participants turning out to draw – seven of us starting at noon on Saturday with approximately another dozen artists sitting in for random sessions – or folks just showing up to say hi, offer encouragement and check on our coffee supply. Ultimately only four were successful in meeting the challenge, but lots of people learned about the annual event and got a chance to observe demonstrations of the craft, and we’re definitely stoked about doing it again in 2013 – see you all there!

Another day done, another year where folks take on the challenge: Start and complete a 24 page comic in 24 hours. Congratulations to all those who made it to the end and thanks to everyone who attended. We hope to see you all next year as well!

Hour 23 at Lone Star Comics, the last push.

We’re now nearing the last stretch for 24 hour Comics Day and all of our creators are now hitting their second and third wind; everyone’s really becoming active to really crank out those last few pages and get all their inking done. Last hard push to the finish, guys! Don’t burn out yet!

Hour 21 at Lone Star Comics

Posted on October 21, 2012 by 24HCD Previous Years

We’re now rolling into hour 21 here at Lone Star Comics and we’re really seeing the creators trying their best to get their pages done. The Room is quiet except for the sound of ink to paper, everyone in a state of “tunnel vison” and focused on the art in front of them. Almost there, guys!

New Orleans Update… 13 Hours @ The Joan Mitchell Center

Kelly Stiles: Hey this is also my first time doing the 24 hour comic. I’m having a lot of fun, and its forcing me to make quick decisions about inking (which I never do) with great results. Gotta get back to it. Good luck everybody!

Kira Mardikes: Hello, I’m working on a comic about apartment demons in Chicago. It’s been a slow start, I think I have three comics going on simultaneously today, one more realistic (the Chicago one), one fantastical about winged gods finding a lone traveling man in the swamp, and the third is a massacre comic in a cartoony style. You can read some of my finished work at secretcomix.com. Great work, having fun 🙂

John Slade: This is my third 24 Hour Comics Day event. I’m currently working on the Fifth issue of my comic title, “Afro Brother Spacemen” a satirical comic about three Black astronauts who protect the USA and the world from the absurd. I’m also one of the hosts of this years event. The artists are all having a splendid time. We’ve got cartoons and old serials going in the background to get our creativity levels high. Got to get back to work in New Orleans. Good luck to everyone all over the world on this 24 Hour Comics Day.
