Winter creates light painting comic

The 24 hour comic event in October was a chance for J.B. Winter to try a unique form of comic creation by light painting. He created 24 panels using a unique process involving a digital camera, plexiglass, and hand held lasers. You can read about the process of creating the comic on his blog. He was also interviewed for the Missourian story about the 24 hour comic event.

During the 24 hour comic event in October, Josh Nichols used a novel method to create his comic: An ipad using the Brushes application and a hand held stylus. Nichols came away from the event with seven pages that you can see on his flickr page. For more insight into the process, check out a video of him drawing the comic posted by Keith Chan and check out the Missourian story about the 24 hour event.

Winter — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:06:23 +0000

During the 24 hour comic event at Artlandish Gallery we had a couple of Missourian reporters checking in on us throughout the day. They’ve compiled a story about the event on the Missourian neighborhood blog.

The Tribune also mentioned the event as well.

Update: The Missourian reporters have created an audio slideshow from the event.

24 Hour Comics Day is Over!

Scott — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 17:38:37 +0000

Another 24 Hour Comics Day Event is completed! We had a solid turnout of participants and had a few visitors during our event. Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks again to Lisa Bartlett and Artlandish Gallery for once again hosting the event! Remember, please feel free to email your links to your projects and we will post them on the site later this week. Thanks!

24 Hour Comics Day is TOMORROW

Scott — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 16:08:03 +0000

We are almost 24 hours away from start time of 24 Hour Comics Day! I will be at Artlandish Gallery from 4-5 today to set-up; if you want to preview the layout of the area we will be in you’re more than welcome to come and help out during that time. I will also be there at 11:00 tomorrow to make sure everything is in order. It is highly recommended you arrive early to get situated before the 12:00 start time. You can still participate if you arrive after 12 but it will hurt your chances of completing a full 24 page comic. It is supposed to be rather chilly tomorrow so please dress comfortably. Right now we’ve got 10 participants confirmed. There’s still time to email me at testtubecomics@yahoo.com if you want to guarantee a spot, but we should have plenty of space for everyone. There will be some local media covering the event as well.

Looking forward to another successful 24 Hour Comics Day Event!

24 Hour Comics Day Update

Scott — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:07:39 +0000

We are only 5 days away from 24 Hour Comics Day! Again, please email me beforehand if you want to guarantee a spot at the event this year. If you have any tables or chairs you’d like to contribute to the event please be at Artlandish Gallery between 4-5 this Friday so we can set up. Thanks, and hope to see you all there!

24 Hour Comics Day Update

Scott — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:56:45 +0000

We’ve already had 8 participants reserve their spots at the 24 Hour Comics Day event at Artlandish on October 2nd. Again, please remember that the only way to guarantee yourself a spot is by making a reservation via email to testtubecomics@yahoo.com. Otherwise it will be first come/first served for anyone who comes the day of the event.

Here’s the specifics about our 24 Hour Comics Day: It is recommended to arrive at least 20-30 minutes before the event in order to set up your space and get settled in. We will provide space, seating and some refreshments. You must bring your own supplies and anything else you feel you will need. We usually have non-participant volunteers to make a dinner run, which is usually determined by everyone at the event (please bring some cash if you plan on pitching in to make it easier on our runners), and last year Ernie’s made for an ideal spot to have breakfast and get away from staring at the art for a while. You do have the option to fend for yourself if you prefer to dine alone, but it’s always more fun to eat with the group.

It is recommended to bring healthy snacks to the event. Overdosing in sugary stuff can hurt your chances at completing the project. It is also recommended to get a full night sleep and eat a big lunch/brunch before the event so you have plenty of energy the day of.

I will be setting up Friday, October 1st, and would greatly appreciate any assistance. Please email me if you can help out. There is also a Facebook event page created; if you are on Facebook and would like to be invited please let me know. On the other end if you’ve confirmed you will attend the event on Facebook but haven’t emailed me at testtubecomics@yahoo.com please do so I can have all my bases covered.
I am really looking forward to our 5th consecutive year of participating in the 24 Hour Comics Day event and am hoping we can maximize the amount of people participating this year! Ideally I would like everyone starting out at noon Saturday to be there at noon Sunday, even if they have to leave for a few hours or early that night, for a proposed “Caffeine Toast” at the end of the event to celebrate everyone’s accomplishment. I’m sure will talk more about it the day of but I wanted to throw that out there now.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! Again, PLEASE reserve your spot if you want a guaranteed seat!
