Going AWOL
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related on June 3rd, 2008
I’ll be a mite busy in the next few hours and days:
- Today’s all about nailing this damn presentation for my talk on Thursday. It’s almost there, in my mind, and the rest of it will come in the next few hours as long as I keep working on it. Tonight will possibly be more of the same, knowing me.
- Tomorrow we’re driving to Stafford, which is going to take a while, even with good traffic. I’ve no idea if I’ll have internet access at our hotel either.
- Thursday and Friday – MMOG-fest. When I’m not watching talks, giving a talk, talking to students, or selling to students, I’ll probably be in the pub doing all of the above.
So back to normal on the weekend. I’ve got a few things stored up – half-done on my post about London MCM Expo, and of course I want to write up the UK Games Expo from this past weekend. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves. About this, if you like:
Saturday evening with my feet up
Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, Events, MMO-related, Weird self portraits on May 31st, 2008
Ye Gods, you have no idea how good it feels to be in a prone position with my feet up. Aaannd… relax.
Busy – and then quiet – first day at the show. As a result, looked like a blockbuster of a day first of all, then settled down so that it ended up in the ‘decent’ category. Still, if the same happens tomorrow I’ll be happy with the weekend as a whole.
Draw the World Together went really well it seemed; Karl Kopinski took to the process like a duck to water. Neil and Andrew both of course did great stuff too. Karl did a knockout sketch of Callista that I’ll share soon enough. Suffice to say it contains three figures… but simply looks amazing. We were all green with envy.
Right, now it’s time to get off to the curry house with artists and a few players in tow. (I can tell all the ‘regulars’ are here because my hits today are so low!!) I’ll leave you with me and a box of money.
UK Games Expo, this weekend
Posted by Rockjaw in Events, MMO-related on May 28th, 2008
G’morning. Slept like crap; you? Came home last night with that sticky, ready to burst feeling in the air – and we had a mother of a thunderstorm overnight, that woke us up several times. It’s nice to fall asleep with rain on the window. Not so great to get woken up by thunder which sounds like the building’s collapsing.
Anyway, so this weekend. We’re off to the UK Games Expo as you know. I know a few of you reading this are going to come down, which is lovely. I will again attempt to do some updates from there, but the likelihood is I won’t be able to sit and blog very much – at least I hope not to be able to. If I can, it means we’re not busy, which I won’t be happy about. If you want to keep tabs on me you’ll be better off with my Facebook status updates.
In the interests of transparency, or sharing, or some sorta thing, I thought I’d let you know our general plans for the weekend too. Really only of interest to those of you attending, I guess. Unless you know an awesome curry house in Edgbaston. Read the rest of this entry »
New artist for UK Games Expo
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related, Pimpin' on May 23rd, 2008
Just got an email from Andrew Wildman confirming another Draw the World Together artist for next weekend’s show… Karl Kopinski, who I met last year at a small one-day show we did in Loughborough.
I’ll let Karl’s work speak for itself…
Yeah. I’m having me some of that.
Karl’s art has appeared most frequently in Games Workshop products, so if you’re any sort of Warhammer fan, I think you’ll like what you see. Plenty more to gorge on over at his site.
Karl’s going to appear on Saturday only, so if you want to get a sketch (and I would suggest, he’ll be best when drawing fantasy-style characters) then you know where to come: UK Games Expo, baby.
You said what?
