24-Hour Comics in Montpelier, Vt.
Hello from Montpelier City Hall!
We have a dozen cartoonists in Montpelier today drawing their 24-Hour Comics. We expect a few more coming in later from southern Vermont and New Hampshire. Great turnout on a rainy fall New England day. Most of the participants are drawing their comics in the City Council chambers - the room where all the decisions are made in Vermont's capitol city.
Also this morning, horror cartoonist Denis St. John taught younger kids how to draw monsters during a three-hour comics workshop at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier. That program was a huge success - we had two dozen kids drawing spooky creatures!
A big THANK YOU to our local sponsors, the Drawing Board, Capitol Grounds, Positive Pie, Cabot Creamery, Hunger Mountain Co-op, Julio's Cantina, Wonder Cards & Comics, Montpelier Arts Fund, Montpelier City Council, Montpelier Alive! and many, many others who are giving us coffee and pizza and comics to keep us going. The event was also organized by the Trees & Hills comic group, a cartooning organization for creators in Vermont, New Hampshire and western Mass.
Everyone still drawing in MADEIRA!
8 hours and a half gone... and we wanted to say hello to everyone! The day is still lovely outside, and we are in the lovely QUINTA DA RIBEIRA - a XIX Century Villa with gardens and benches and two rooms full of creativity!
Here is our video message from Madeira - with a hello to all the creators willing to lose the night today!

Hello from Madeira Island (Portugal)
Hello from Madeira Island (part of Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean) - we started at 10AM with 43 participants - and even if the day is lovely and sunny outside, everyone is eager to keep drawing.
We have two "drawing rooms" - this is a photo of Room 1, right after lunch:
We are also streaming "live" via ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/24h-comic-day
Williston Vermont is ROLLING!
Seven of our group here in VT have begun, and I'm about to join them. Excpecting a few more participants to trickle in soon... especially now that the coffee has arrived :)
It's a cold dreary day, perfect to be inside making comics and consuming hot beverages!
