Blank Slate’s ‘Nelson’ in the spotlight at Hay Festival

Hay Festival 2012

(via Sarah McIntyre’s blog): If you’re in Wales at the Hay Festival this weekend, don’t miss out on what is sure to be an awesome panel by six of the comics creators who made NELSON, published by Blank Slate – including Sarah McIntyre – on Sunday.

“I’m so completely proud of this book,” says Sarah, who will also be doing a 4.00pm reading of Morris the Mankiest Monster in the Family Area, if you want to stop by to say hello.

Rob Davis, Woodrow Phoenix, Gary Northfield, Kristyna Baczynski and Will Morris are also on the NELSON panel.

If you’re at Hay the following weekend, Sarah is back doing a bunch of other stuff, including a sold out panel with Philip Reeve, Martin Brown and Cathy Brett called Illustration Game of Consequences. Inspired by suggestions from you, these amazing artists draw live on one giant piece of paper.
“It will be random and it will be fun,” says Sarah.

On Saturday 9th June at 10am, Sarah hosts Cartoon Craziness, a chance to meet this brilliant illustrator and learn how to invent your own cartoons. Expect pirates, monsters, princesses, dinosaurs, cowboys and, of course, Vern & Lettuce.

Then, at 1.00pm: Philip Reeve talks to Sarah: get along and discover a wild world of magical creatures and heroic adventures from the extraordinary imagination behind Mortal Engines – and, hopefully, a sneek peek of their forthcoming series Seawigs.
