That was a fun day! Thanks to Scott of Scott's Pop's & Comics for hosting last Saturday's annual Free Comic Book Day, ('FCBD') at his shop in Warrington Market. This was his 3rd time and delayed a week from the official worldwide FCBD and possibly the smoothest and best so far? It's always hard to judge from behind the table but there was a steady stream of fans, browsers and visitors which certainly seemed to keep all us artists busy, so quite happy.
While the shop opens at 9am, the artist's event was supposed to be a shorter 11 - 4pm day, but most turned up and 'opened' their tables and sketchbooks earlier, some staying a little later too, ensuring that all those patient attendees got to see and chat with everyone they wanted. This made for a really enjoyable steady day with a great atmosphere of artists, fans and newcomers chatting about comics and all related pop culture, making new friends and discoveries along the way.
Sincere thanks to all who came along, supporting Scott, the event and the artists and thanks to all for participating, assisting or spreading word, helping its success - see you next year!
Here's a few snaps Scott took of the day of the happy and busy artists - Rachael Smith was also there but manged to escape the lens!
