24 Hour Comics Day 2011 in Seattle
Thanks from Montpelier, Vt.!
I was way too tired (and my laptop battery way too low) to do a final post when we finished up at 10am this morning at Montpelier City Hall. Our event this year was a huge success, with more than 20 people taking attempts at 24-Hour Comics, about half finishing successfully and many, many amazing comics drawn.
Above is a page from Ed Epstein's gorgeous and moving 24-Hour Comic story.
We also had a great media coverage for the event, including this story in the Times Argus and Rutland Herald newspapers. And tomorrow morning - at the crazy time of 6:20am - I'm being interviewed live in the studio at WCAX about the 24-Hour Comic challenge!
We had so much fun. Thanks to everyone who made this event a success. See you next year!

Watch #24HCD unfold on Twitter
Over the last few days, artists across the globe have been posting 24-Hour Comics Day updates and links to their comics on Twitter! It's a wonderful opportunity to see some of the 24HCD comics and to be part of events everywhere.
Congratulations to the artists who finished up yesterday! We're in the final hours of many 24HCD events which started Saturday afternoon. You can do it, superstars!

Wrap up after the event in Madeira Island (Portugal)
Officially, we just finished our 24 HOUR COMICS DAY in Madeira Island @ 10:00 AM.
After gathering all the comics drawn and statistical information we concluded the following:
- This year we had 43 participants, 20 male, 23 female
- Of these 43, only 6 created a 24-page comic in 24 hours
- All contestants created 318 pages during these 24 hours, some of them with outstanding quality - and using several sizes and techniques: from watercolors to pencils and india ink. Colored comics, Grayscale, Black and White, Collage - with several themes, from romance to philosophy.
Everyone enjoyed the event, and here is a photo of the "survivors" that were present at 10:00 AM today, when we wrapped up the event. Such a wonderful crowd!
We hope to do an exhibition later this year, showcasing all the artwork created during this event!
Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Lots of hugs to all of you from Madeira Island!

One hour to go in Portugal...
... but there is something we all agree about 24 HOUR COMICS DAY, as we show in the following video!
Half of our participants finished their stories (some achieving the goal of 24-pagas, others with smaller stories) - and we are getting ready to publish the final page and story count in an hour when we finally wrap up the 2011 event!
Now starting hour Eighteen...

| My slow progress! --Kristin |
We've dwindled to a small group, but Jim Gorman is the first to have completed his 24 page story, and is getting ready to start another. Yep, he's going to try and keep his original goal of getting two 24 page stories down on paper in one 24-hour session. That's twenty-four pages in six hours if he can do it. Jim wins his pick of the Canson Fanboy prizes either way.
Rocky's Pizza arrived with fresh fresh pizza pie earlier this evening, which is a wonderful motivator year after year (Thanks John & crew!) the box of snack treats from Sweet Clover Market is a never-ending treasure-trove (I'm now hooked on orange & rosemary flavored pecans...) Delicious coffee from Phoenix Books & Cafe has lasted us these past eighteen hours. We tip our hats to you all!

Eight hours to go!
There's about a dozen of us left drawing comics at Montpelier City Hall with eight hours and ten minutes left in the challenge. It's still a quiet, studious bunch, but I'm sure everyone will loosen up when the wackiness of the 3-5am stretch hits. Anyway, I'm halfway through my comic and listening to Joy Division on my iPhone. Whatever keeps you going!
Liminka School of Arts (Finland) by night
About 60 drawing people in several buildings finishing their 24 pages from Saturday 11 am. to Sunday 11 am.
Escape Velocity Comics, Colorado Springs, CO
I stopped by Escape Velocity in Colorado Springs for their 24-Hour Comics Day event to speak with the artists who are taking the challenge. They're hard at work, 9 hours into the full 24.
Good luck, all of you!
Good luck, all of you!
Almost 4 Hours to go in Madeira Island (Portugal) ...
... and some of our artists were able to finish their 24-hour comics! From A3 Comics to Pocket Comics, we've had great stories created here today. Here are the covers of the 5 completed 24-pages-comics done until now!
