24 Hours From Q-Town: 2015 – HOUR 9

Hi Kids!

Can you believe it, 9 hours! More than a third of the way to the big finale!

Austin, Tristan, Mia, and Eloisa have departed. Bye, Kids!

Now there are 6…

Here’s how they’re doing:

IMAG3614

Looks like Mark’s got a bunch of pages penciled…

IMAG3616

Matt’s got some intricate work going on. Not sure what it is yet…

IMAG3619

Melody has a fantasy theme? We’ll see how it develops.

IMAG3623

Apparently Mike’s heroine guerilla zombie fighter is named Hannah, and I love what he did with the UNDEAD line drawings.

IMAG3627

And on to the next page… Mike “The Machine”, onnaccounta he’s turning out such high quality stuff, eh?

IMAG3628

Antonio’s character is getting a BIG HAND…

IMAG3632

While Aliina is working away. As usual, no idea what she’s doing…

IMAG3636

And speaking of Aliina, she was the next winner of our raffle! She chose the REDFOX collection from Old West Comics & Games.

Which brings us to HOUR 10…

Your pal,

Chuck

 

 

 

24 Hours From Q-Town: 2015 – HOUR 8

Hi Kids!

You recall I said I would continue our tour of the Fabulous Prize Table with Margaret from Old West Comics & Games, whose boundless generosity made us so happy.

ooldwestcomicsfront

Well, here’s what she gave us!

IMAG3551       IMAG3552

The REDFOX comics are British, and have interesting design layouts, different from traditional American comics. The others are all vintage comics, and one, The Art of Jack Bradbury, is an in depth look at this master craftsman’s technique and drawing style.

In addition, came these:

IMAG3556

Three VHS videotapes, two classic animes, and an animated X-Men adventure.

Thanks so much, Margaret!

We also had another drawing, and this time Melody was the big winnah! She chose the Astro-Zombies gift certificate for $10.

IMAG3612

And Mike has finished two pages:

IMAG3608             IMAG3607

Looks like some Guerrilla girl zombie action going on. My favorite is the center panel on the first page, where we’re looking at the girl through the hole she just blew in the zombie’s head.. Very clever, Mike!

And thus completes HOUR 8…

Back for HOUR 9.

Your pal,

Chuck

24 Hours From Q-Town 2015 HOURS 1-3

Hi Kids!

Yep, we’re back and coming at you from SHARED UNIVERSE, blogging live, like the past 7 years.

www.shareduniverseabq.com

Got a late start, so I’m a bit behind the curve, hence the hours 1-3…

We have a smaller, more intimate group this year, and a long way to go, so here’s a couple of pics of the not so ensuing masses, and our fabulous prize table!

It’s ON!

Back soon!

Your pal,

Chuck
