Wow, is all I can say! The LFCC was amazing: I sold shed loads of stuff, made enough money to fund my upcoming trip to New York (and have a little bit left for spending), met some great people and all in all felt like a bit of a celebrity! :P (think that was the fact that we had access to the green room and people were mobbing me for sketches!) It was a fantastic weekend; thanks to everyone who came to the stall - it makes me realise why being an illustrator is so bloody cool! Here are some pics from the weekend:
Two very questionable gents; one of them is in fact called Mario. The other isn't Luigi though.
My prints! William Shatner is actually the owner of a Kirk print after JP bumped into him in the green room!
A Stormtrooper just chilling at the Reaper table.
Some dodgy bint and her work.
Awesome Shaun of the Dead costume.
Award for most inventive use of a moustache!
I'm-a gonna win!
He'll rip you a new one!
An Ewok. And someone dressed up as one of those bear-things from Star wars.
Like looking in a mirror.
A gaggle of Boba Fetts admire some art.
Arnie has fallen on hard times. That's politics for you.
The awesome Mario of Apocalypse comics!
Aliens vs. Predator.
Aliens vs. Preadtor 2: The Paintening.
This is what conventions do to a girl. Chugging Red Bull and talking to leprechauns (not pictured).
Colouring sketches finally takes its toll on JP.
It's safe to say this will become a regular con for us, so keep an eye out! :D
Looks like you guys had an awesome time! I can only imagine how JP was feeling when he met the Shatner. I probably would of pooed myself.
ReplyDeleteWas bloomin' lovely seeing you at the weekend. Thank you for the lovely prints and bits too I will be adding them to the wall of Jess today :)
ReplyDeleteWowee! Just reading that made me feel exhausted. I'm so happy it went well, especially after all your hard work. You deserve every inch of success and I hope this reassured you that your art is bloody fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, especially the ones of characters with their matching paintings!

Awesome! I would have been in heaven there :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see the 'characters' holding their respective equivelents in canvas form, and it just illustrates how brilliant your pictures are.
So glad to see that all of your efforts paid off and you're finally getting the recognition you deserve!

Your stall was awesome, and it was nice meeting you and your boyfriend! I came away with a great bag of goodies, with the coloured Link sketch to come!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, the prints me and my boyfriend bought will be framed and displayed in our new flat we're going to sort out in the summer hols! :D
Looks like you had so much fun, Jess! The Alien & Predator costumes were beyond amazing! Glad you got a print to Shatner. That's exciting.
