This weeks been a busy year. We're coming up to the next student/college stand at a major event. This time: EGX at Earl's Court, London. Exciting. Very Exciting. Why? Well, basically, it's going to be fab. I love doing events (which is good because it's not like I get paid for it at all and each one carves a extra mile into my forehead). (We've done over 30 events in the past two years). (Blimey). From Sky Arts to the Beeb, from Adobe to Autodesk to ArtRage, from Nintendo to Samsung to Microsoft to Sony to Dell, from BETT 2012 to BETT 2013 (and 2014), from the Barbican to the Royal Academy, from Eurogamer to MCM to Gadget Show we've demoed tablet art to a LOT of people. See >>here<< for some of our prior events... Until now the Gadget Show 2013 has been my favourite as it afforded me a lot of options to design the set area. I hope that EGX 2014 will now become my favourite. There's a lot of design involved and if it looks as cool as I've planned I'll be utterly delighted.

The theme is #WelcomeToGuildford which, I hope, will become obvious when you get to us... If you're at EGX come and say hi (we're delivering the chill out and art stand). You'll be able to draw with Graph It pens on bleed proof paper and at least 4 different types of touch screen with a range of styli to check out if you're so interested. This is open to EVERYONE! If you're an artist come say hi and draw us a pic. If you're a cosplayer come along and be drawn. If you're neither but fancy having a scribble or an impromptu art lesson then come along, have a seat and draw away... (There will also be a super secret piece of art on sale each day... Details on that to come). If you're a Cosplayer at EGX some say hi, be drawn or painted, or 3d scanned :) It'll be fab. However the new thing (because hey, we have done this a couple of times now) is that at 6pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 11 am on Sunday we'll be delivering something new and VERY COOL. Basically we're setting up a series of Cosplayers as a recreation of the Last Supper according to a daily theme:

Thursday: The Last Family Supper (Sega, Nintendo, Disney, Cutesy characters).

Friday: The Final Supper (any Assassins and their historically relevant victims).

Saturday: The Last of Us Supper (Ellie, Joel, Clickers, zombies).

Sunday: The Last Supper at the Alien Cantina (Star Wars, Who, Aliens etc).

Anyone who's around come along to the Cosplay stage and we'll set you up ready to be drawn, painted and photographed. It shall be fab.

(think this but bigger. Oh yes).

So that's it. That's the plan. Come and join us if you can it'll be all sorts of cool. And Awesome. It'll be Coolsome. And then some.
