British independent Unico Comics is on the lookout for artists who can complete books they intend to publish in 2011! Paul H Birch has the story at speechballoons.

From Leonie O'Moore:

24 Hour Comic Challenge, Tyneside cinema, Newcastle Upon Tyne

SAT 13 MARCH, 10.00AM UNTIL SUN 14 MARCH, 10.00AM

FIGGIS ROOM & TYNESIDE BAR, FLOOR 3

Independent press organisation P.R.E.S.S. teams up with the Tyneside to deliver an exciting 24 hour event!

We’ll be testing you to your limits with this special challenge; to create a comic book in 24 hours. The story, the artwork, and the lettering will all be completed in the time allowed. No previous experience is necessary, only enthusiasm and ideas. Comic artists and graphic designers will be on hand to assist, and dinner and breakfast is included – and lots of coffee too! But if you just fancy a taster, there will be drop-in mobile phone drawing workshops, 24 min workshops, and
Drink and Draw sessions all across Saturday.
A round the clock creative event, not to be missed!

Entry: £15 for the 24hr event. Places are limited, and advance booking essential.

FREE for public drop-in during the day.
