One of those events was a '12-hour Comic Challenge' - a somewhat more civilised sibling of the well-known but fairly brutal '24-hour Comic Challenge'. The challenge is to conceive and draw a full twelve page comic within a twelve hour period (as opposed to twenty-four in twenty-four for the 24-hour version).
Having successfully completed a 24-hour comic in the past (though as it turns out, AAAAGES ago), this seemed a great idea, so I took part.
The resultant comic is Loneliness And Ping Pong, a short tale of, er, well, loneliness and ping pong.
This rudimentary publication is available from me in person, plus probably from Travelling Man Newcastle's small press section at some point, and probably from the Grainger Market Night Market (Thursday 6th December) and the Verbal Remedy Zine fair at B&D Studios (on Saturday 8th).
Depressingly, this is the longest Oscillating Brow comic since the 24-hour one. On the other hand, that does reinforce the evidence that to do productive comic-making, I just need put myself in quiet room with other artists and have an arbitrary challenge hanging over me.
