Comic creator Alan Langford (2000AD and more) is one of a number of painters and other makers exhibiting and demonstrating at the Romsey Art Group‘s first “Art @ Work” get together this weekend (12th & 13th March), at the Mountbatten Gallery in Lee, Hampshire.

Members of the Group, comprising both professional and amateur artists (and other makings) will be demonstrating and exhibiting some of their work. They will also have cards, prints and other items for sale.

“There’s absolutely no obligation to buy, Alan tells me, “But it’s good for a laugh in good company.”

Alan is best known today for his incredible equestrian art, and for his graphic novel, The Secret of the Aesir. He recently contributed a strip to the SHIFT Comic Anthology YearBook, in selected newsagents now, and available online here.
