I didn't get many photos of the talks, but that's okay, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.nataliedarbeloff.com/\">Natalie D'Arbeloff\u003C/a> was busy with her sketchpad, so we were well documented! Here's \u003Ca href=\"http://www.asiaalfasi.com/about.php\">Asia Alfasi\u003C/a> and Natalie with her drawing of the talk Asia, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/illustrators/index.php?inc=details&id=106558\">Sarah Zaidan\u003C/a> and I gave. Here's Asia giving her talk:\\r\n\u003C!--more Pics and loads of links under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/camcomics09_3-914467aec9.jpg\">\\r\n\u003Ci>sketches by Natalie D'Arbeloff\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nWe also got to hear great talks by political activist \u003Ca href=\"http://www.cartoonkate.co.uk/\">Kate Evans\u003C/a> and \u003Ci>Lost Girls\u003C/i> illustrator \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Gebbie\">Melinda Gebbie\u003C/a>: \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/camcomics09_4-2092dadd6f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nKate was really inspiring and I'm half-way through reading her book about climate change, \u003Ci>Funny Weather\u003C/i> (which has an intro by George Monbiot). Melinda bought my \u003Ci>Morris\u003C/i> book to add to her big picture book collection and said she was excited by what all us young people are getting up to, that comics creators are the barometers for the rest of humanity and 'the ones who make gold out of s***' (which, with my \u003Ci>Morris\u003C/i> book, isn't that far off, although Giles calls it 'dung'.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Phoenix\">Woodrow Phoenix\u003C/a> and his \u003Ci>Rumble Strip\u003C/i> editor \u003Cb>Corinne Pearlman\u003C/b> from \u003Ca href=\"http://www.myriadeditions.com/about\">Myriad Editions\u003C/a> were the ones who gave me the big list of people to look up in their talk about autobiographical comics. I know of some of the names, and I even mentioned a couple in my own talk, but many of them are new to me.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/camcomics09_2-c8e4745b43.jpg\">\\r\n\u003Ci>Woodrow Phoenix, Bridget Hannigan and Corinne Pearlman\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nWoodrow and Corinne's list included: \u003Ca href=\"http://ludovic.debeurme.free.fr/\">Ludovic Debeurme\u003C/a> and his book \u003Ca href=\"http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/briefings/eurocomics/6893/\">\u003Ci>Lucille\u003C/i>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.debdrex.com/\">Debbie Drechsler\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.smallnoises.com\">Sarah Glidden\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.ravenblond.com/pages/books.html\">Phoebe Glockner\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2008/skipping-brulightly-along-with-hannah-berry/\">Hannah Berry\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.alleged.org.uk/jrd/\">Jeremy Dennis\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"http://cleanskies.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">cleanskies\u003C/a>), \u003Ca href=\"http://misslaskogross.com/\">Miss Lasko-Gross\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://lambiek.net/artists/k/kennedy_lee.htm\">Lee Kennedy\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.spanielrage.com\">Vanessa Davis\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://la-boucherie.blogspot.com/\">Bastien Vives\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.nicolehollander.com/\">Nicole Hollander\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.katecharlesworth.com/\">Kate Charlesworth\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.clairebretecher.com/\">Claire Bretecher\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramona_Fradon\">Ramona Fradon\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Severin\">Marie Severin\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynda_Barry\">Lynda Barry\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._K._Brown\">M.K.

When her daughter was seven years old, they decided to draw portraits of each other every week, and they continued doing it until the daughter was 17 and needed her own space. They were experimental with the different ways they painted and drew, and it was fascinating to watch their artistic progression along with the clear aging of the girl and the less obvious aging of the mother. And what a cool idea of something to do with your kid.
