Here we go then. The NCsoft gallery of photos from the Bristol Comicexpo 2008.

This years Comicexpo at Bristol UK was our best Comicexpo yet. We exceeded last years total by some £200 by raising an amazing £1666.
Big thanks to the ever faithful guys at NCsoft that put it together and a special thanks to the contributing artists: Neil Edwards, Mike Collins, Jason Cardy, Kat Nicholson and Andrew Wildman.

The final count is in and during the annual one hour sketching session at the Comicdom Comic Convention in Greece an amazing 1120 euros was raised. A staggering success achieved by the efforts of local artists and guests. Among those sketching were David Lloyd, Bryan Talbot, Mark Buckingham, Aleksandar Zograf and Giuneri Icoglu.
Our sincere thanks goes out to Lida Tsene and all the organisers of ComicdomCon.

Below are a couple of examples of the sketches done showing the amazing variety of art that occurs during Comicdom.

A while back we announced that the heroes were coming. We are now excited to announce that we have an amazing DtWT product coming up for sale. Our friends at NCsoft have helped us put together an amazing sketchbook of City of Heroes characters. The list of contributing artists reads like a who’s who of British comics (with a few others for good luck). Pictured here is the amazing front cover done for us by the legendary Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons. The (very limited edition) publication will be on sale at the UK Comicexpo in May. Many of the contributing artists will be there so there is even the chance of getting your copy signed.
see you in Bristol

Well here we are. The fab four .
Stephen ‘Rockjaw’ Reid on the microphone as usual as (from left to right) Andie Tong, David Nakayama, Andrew Wildman and Neil Edwards perform another ‘live sketching event’ drawing Ms Liberty.
The pictures drawn were then auctioned that evening amongst a number of sketches, pages of comic art, signed posters and City of Heroes models. All that along with the roughly 150 sketches generated at the weekend raised in excess of £3000 for the charity EveryChild. Our best event yet.
All the money from this amazing event will go to the projects in Cambodia and India. For information on those take a look at the page links at the top of the page.

For more pictures of the weekends goings on take a trip to the NCsoft Flickr album.

Some of the sketches that were done at the weekend to be posted here soon along with news of the exclusive DtWT/City of Heroes sketchbook.

After the success of this weekend’s Omega Sektor (total amount raised to be announced) event in Birmingham UK the next DtWT event will be Athens. The Annual Comicdom Con takes place on April 5th and 6th. This years guests include Brits David Lloyd, Bryan Talbot and Mark Buckingham. All have previously helped out with DtWT events and this year they will be taking part along with many Greek cartoonists and Comicdom guests in a fundraising sketching event.
For further details check out the Comicdom website.

We look forward to the pictures.

Still counting but Omega Sektor was the best fund raising weekend we have had so far.
More news soon… with photos

Want a comic artist to sketch your character? Then get to Omega Sektor this Easter weekend - and give money to charity while you’re doing it! Continuing the hugely successful partnership with NCsoft Europe we will be appearing at this Easter’s Ultimate Heroic Weekend at Omega Sektor - including one very special guest. We will be sketching City of Heroes characters in exchange for a donation to the charity, EveryChild (normally just £10!).

The latest issue of Digital Art magazine IMAGINE FX has a brief article on Draw the World Together.
Great to see us getting out there in the media. Always interesting to see how DtWT is interpreted and in the mag they have it that we are ‘looking for as many professionals as possible to to donate their work in the hope that one day the entire world will know who Wolverine is!’
Well clearly this is not our intention but great that the guys at IMAGINE FX have given us some coverage.
more soon

Stand by for an announcement.
