StokeCon #4 Sold out

StokeCon#4

I'm happy to say that the next StokeCon on Sunday 17th April has already sold out. This time cartoon and Comic arts have a larger presence at the event. Not only is there more artist that ever attending the event but also the Comic Arts award has a dedicated area where the next generation of comic artist will be selling their work.

 

 

You can see some of the student artwork which is gracing the front cover of the event. We asked the students to draw some of the guest who were attending the event. The idea is we get the artist and the guest to sign the artwork and then raffle it off.

 

Stoke Con 2014 The Story

At Last!

Stokes first Con 

Stoke had its first Convention Sunday 21st September and it was held at the LRV (Leek Road Venue ) and the Brindley Building (across Leek Road)

From early on the crowds were gathering, and it was a spectacular sunny day with loads going on. 

While the crowds waited there was plenty of things to get them excited. A selection of cars from "Only Fools and Horses", "Knight Rider" KIT 2000 and the Deloren from "Back to the Future" (That had Gareth all of a giggle!)

there was also plenty of Cosplay as well happening all over the place and here are just a few snaps from Fin, as he went around the event. I'm happy to say a few of the students and staff got involved.

Once inside the Crowds were fantastic and so were the shops and stalls that had turned up in an attempt to sell their goods. 

Obviously the main attraction was the many stars who turned up to make the show the best it could have been.

Not Forgetting the star of the Show Mister John Charles who was drawing characters for people

Oh and me !

2 doctors in the same room!

Stokes first ever Comic Con

Stokes first ever comic convention is happening and where.... right her at Staffordshire University in the LRV (Leek Road Venue)
Who would have thought that 3 years after the creation of the Cartoon & Comic Arts award that this would be happening on our doorsteps. A big hand is deserved for the organising team from Six Towns Radio who have pulled out all teh plugs to make sure taht the event is Big, Bright and Bold!

The award has several tables at eth event as recruitment, sales and also the legendary John Charles and Jason Brindley are drawing people for a small outlay of money. Absolutely important for an event to have these characters on board. 

The guset list is impressive from

I'm going to try and keep blogging all the way through the event with images of the Students and stars as they appear and the workshops we will be running
