Comics Uncovered 2018: What's Next? (In Conversation with Ian Richardson)

Comics Uncovered 2018 - What's Next? (In Conversation With Artist Ian Richardson) (Sunday 16th September 2018) I was very lucky to be invited along to the ICE International Comic Expo in Birmingham this past September to host a couple of panels at the event, but it also gave me the opportunity to participate in the following days companion event, Comics Uncovered, a hands-on collection of demos, panels, reviews and workshop sessions for both aspiring and established comics creatives to fine-tune their skills and approaches under the watchful eye of some of the best in the business, including John McCrae, James Peaty, Tony Lee, Ian Richardson and Steve Tanner. Speaking of Mr. Richardson, Ian spent a fair amount of time at the bar in the foyer of the Birmingham Conference and Exhibition Centre - not pouring drinks, although I can imagine he could knock up a half decent Singapore Sling if pushed! No, he was more looking over work of aspiring artists and giving some really practical advice where needed - he also presented a talk called What's Next, all about what happens once you've jumped that initial hurdle and get your foot in the door with your work. It's a great session in the company of someone who really knows what he's talking about - enjoy... Intro Music: 'Punky', bensounds.com
