Most artists plough a lonely furrow. But Emma Vieceli can – and does – turn her prestigious pencil to a star-spanning variety of genres, and always produces pure magic. Graphic novel adaptations of Shakespeare? Check. Video games? No problem. Illustrating YA novels? Yup. Working alone or in teams? Outstanding either way. She even draws maps!
 
You get the idea.
 
This is your chance to meet Emma, as we explore how one artist can play so many roles – and be so brilliant in all of them.

They come from different countries. Their art styles come from different worlds. But Tom and Pieter stand united as two of the greatest parodists working in comics today. In this session they will live-draw and discuss their own unique approaches to the ancient art of taking the p – and they will also choose three great examples from history that have inspired them. Hosted by John McShane.

Some artists like to retire to a lonely garret when they settle down to work. Not Dan Panosian. Several years ago, he created Drink and Draw, an informal gathering where artists, fans and friends can get together to scribble, shade and shoot the breeze. In this laid-back session, Dan will let his pencil do the talking, live-drawing while being interviewed about his stellar career by Forbidden Planet TV’s Andrew Sumner as they share a couple of drinks. Other artists may well pop in too. Why don’t you?
