Newton Abbot Library: Pen & Ink Convention
Stuart and I finally got a chance to visit the grand building that is Newton Abbot Library, together with Philip Reeve for their first Pen & Ink Comic & Book Art Convention. Inside, the place was bustling, with lots of tables (including Ashburton's Gnash Comics shop!).
We were thrilled to see Rachel and Isabel Keen, whom I'd seen lots of in medieval costume on Philip and Sarah's Arthurian film set! (Rachel works at the library, so it all made sense.) They helped out with our event, which had a good turnout and was a lot of fun.
Thanks to everyone who came along and drew comics with us!
Philip's drawings on this flipchart comic made me laugh:
Huge thanks to Beth Heaney and Bethan Gregory for all their hard work organising our event and the festival! We hope there are lots more in years to come! I hear there's a whole big railway set upstairs, as well as a cafe, so I need some more time to explore.
