Thought Bubble Video Interview – My Cardboard Life

Posted by geeksyndicate on December 16, 2010

I first became of aware of Phillipa Rice and her incredible talent earlier this year when a friend introduced me to her and told me to check out her work on line.  I was stunned at the amount of work that must go into this web comic that is made from actual paper, cardboard and other materials.  It’s not just incredibly creative, it’s really good as well.

Here’s Phillipa to tell you all about it

Video from Thought Bubble

Posted by geeksyndicate on December 15, 2010

The Organisers of Thought Bubble 2010 had a crew go round with a camera and get interviews with some of the guests!

Check it our and see if you can spot yourself! Stacy Whittle (Small Press Big Mouth) can be seen at 6 mins and 50 seconds and Daniel Clifford (North East Geek Feast) can be seen at 12 mins 24 seconds

Unfortunately they felt that my presence on the video would over shadow the rest of the attendees so i was purposely edited out

Nick Thompson and Rosie K. Stoker enter the Saviles Hall for a wander round the Thought Bubble Comic Convention.

Only one of them returned.

Includes chats with Gary Chudleigh and Graeme Kennedy of Obscure Reference Comics, Tim Plicher and GM Jordan of the UK Comic Book Alliance, Ian Sharman of Orangutan Comics and writer/artist Al Davison.

Thought Bubble Video Interview – Bahala Na!

Posted by geeksyndicate on December 4, 2010

I was so intrigued by the name I decided to get an explanation of what this comic was. Apparently “Bahala na” is a Filipino phrase which is sometimes translated as “Leave it to God”. While this usually comes across as a fatalist or passive attitude, it is also a motto for daring or impetuous acts, so that’s the spirit that this comic was created in.  If your as intrigued as I was then check out the video and get yourself across to Bahala Na
