24 Hours From Q-Town 2014: The Real, Actual, It’s Over Now, END

Hi Kids!

Well, true to form, Jeff finished right at the wire again. I think he’s done this 5 of the last 6 years I’ve been doing this, and Boy Howdy! this comic is a beaut! Seriously, I think he finished at 11:58… I so hope he does this one in full color for publication…

It’s called “Hear There Be” and it’s destined to be another Jeff Benham fine art classic.

Well, just see for yourself!

And with that, that’s that.

Thanks again to all of our sponsors. You all made this a top notch event and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Hi Kids!

Here’s something you don’t see everyday, unless you’re in Albuquerque for The International Balloon Fiesta, that is…

05:46: Right about now, the folks are flocking to the International Balloon Fiesta. Ironic that I would post this picture three hours ago, before I took a little nap…

And whilst I was sleeping, Zach went and finished his comic, making him the

FIRST TO FINISH!

Here he is with his finished comic, “A Day to Remember”.

24 Hours From Q-Town 2014: Hour 12- Halfway There!

Hi Kids!

Here’s the field at midnight. It has thinned considerably…

Oh, and we had another raffle drawing and Eloy won a copy of Yesterday and maybe tomorrow too, cowritten by our own Jeff Benham. This a beautiful book. I call it visual poetry…

And then we had another raffle and the strangest thing happened. We have two remote workers, Aliina, who has participated every year AND FINISHED! and Elizabeth, who is working with 3D animation tools and not a portable setup. Alas, Aliina is unable to attend due to illness, but she’s with us in spirit. So anyway, we drew two tickets for prizes from Comic Warehouse, both STAR WARS Annuals, and Aliina won the first one, and Elizabeth won the second one! What do you suppose the odds are THAT would happen? Here’s Jeff holding their prizes.

And so it goes…
