My Two Panels at Thought Bubble This Weekend!
Posted: November 20, 2013
I’m looking forward to an even bigger and better Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds this coming weekend and I’ll be hosting two fascinating fifty-minute panels:
The first is on Saturday afternoon, November 23rd in the Speech Bubble Panel Area, Armouries Square, 1545-1635, (free entry with Saturday/Weekend convention pass, all ages, but please note: Thought Bubble does not control panel content).
Graphic novel publisher SelfMadeHero have invited me to chair three creators in conversation about their working methods. Oscar Zarate, Frederik Peeters and Ilya discuss how they see a graphic novel project through from concept to completion. Revealing three different approaches to graphic novel creation, this is a must-see for artists, writers and anyone interested in the creative process.
Oscar Zarate is the author of The Park and is widely known for his collaborations with Alan Moore, Alexei Sayle and others. Frederik Peeters is the creator of the award-winning science fiction series Aama, which makes its English language debut at Thought Bubble 2013. Ilya is widely known for his work for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and others; his latest graphic novel, Room For Love is published by SelfMadeHero.
The second is on Sunday afternoon, November 24th, again in the Speech Bubble Panel Area, Armouries Square, 1540-1630, (free entry with Sunday/Weekend convention pass, all ages, but please note: Thought Bubble does not control panel content).
Join me and meet scientists and engineers from the University of Leeds who are launching Dreams of a Low Carbon Future, a graphic novel created in collaboration with comic artists (James McKay’s vision of a all of tomorrow, above), and with writers and schoolchildren. We’ll explore the important issues facing our society today – such as what could happen if we don’t adapt to climate change, and what could utopia actually look like if we somehow get everything right.
Hope to see you there!
