I should update with videos and pictures and all sorts...
And I will, honest. But the four days of MCM Comics Expo clocked in at 80 worked hours and 36 miles walked. So I'm a bit tired, if I'm honest... Stuff to come but in the short term:
The expo was fabulous, well run and a joy to be a part of. Drawing on the Samsungs was lovely and the Win 8 slate was excellent. Have had to send it back now but can't wait to try one again. We were very kindly supported by Samsung, Nintendo, Microsoft and MCM themselves and I'm very appreciative of the fact.
The students were uniformly EXCELLENT. More to come on that later.
There was, sadly, a casualty of the show: Stylus T Frog, long time mascot of the graphics group, was stolen from the stand. To be honest better than than a tablet or anything but still, he's been a loyal compadre for years now and it's a sad moment.
Barbican this weekend: Sat and Sun 3rd and 4th. If you're in the area pop in and say hi.
HUGE thanks to the MCM team for making the students and I feel so welcome. Someone asked on the last day if I would do it again... Really hope that was a hint, I'd be there again with more uber coolness.
Haven't had a chance to edit any video but this captures some of the magic :)
